tongue clicks against the roof of his mouth, doing his best to shove down his contempt for prince of hell. to be fair, little of it had to do with ky’s personality. it was more to do with the fact that his position within hell had been more a matter of birthright than anything else. it was sickening to him, how easily these hellspawn brats were secured a spot at the top without having to do a damn thing at all. so in the crossroad king’s mind, ky’lar richardson would never be more than a spoiled child. but crowley wasn’t about to run his mouth about such thoughts. though he might have been callous, he did have a brain about him. ‘ ky’lar. what a pleasant surprise. did you need something? ’
‘i need many of things,’ he admitted bluntly. of course, if he admitted any of them, he’d more than likely get them with-out even having to lift a finger in return, but every once in a while… he enjoyed doing things himself. even some of his more dangerous fights he got into were done to see what he could accomplish… even if there was a major chance everyone was letting him live. still, there was no need to say anything of the sort here – not when ky knew fully well he was hated by most these days ( even if they would never fully admit it ). ‘i just didn’t come here for any of them.’ there was a pause as he shifted the subject. ‘instead, i came here to find something out… more so a family matter of sorts.’
A BURP ESCAPED HIM && HE WIPED HIS MOUTH BEFORE FINDING A SEAT && falling down deep into it . without second to pause , rick reached into his pocket && drew out his hipflask taking a deep drink from the neck && relaxing into the cushions . ‘ MUCH BETTER . ’ he muttered to himself . // @hellfirebound
ONCE KY WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS RUDE, BUT TIMES HAD CHANGED. more importantly, he found it a bit funny – even if he’d never truly voice such a thing out-loud. ‘ did it come out all right? ‘ a simple question – maybe it came out a bit RUDER than expected, but it was better than nothing in all reality. ‘— or was that just round one.’
❝NO, I DON’T BELIEVE we have met. ❞There were, after all, so many people she had not yet met for an event as large as this. Not often was she allowed to attend galas and the like if only due to the enormous headache it caused for her security team, but this proved to be an exception to the rule. She gave her companion a nod, encouragement to introduce the pair since the woman seemed to eager to slip off. ❝So who might you be?❞
IT WASN’T UNCOMMON for Ky not to know everyone at these parties. He avoided them for years due to the fact he wasn’t interested in them – never was, even as a child, but they still had their uses. Even more so these days when he was slowly attempting to come back to the public eye. ❝ James Richardson, ❞ he said – the words coming out much smoother than he thought. He could have said his real name or ‘a friend’, but he didn’t want too many eyebrows lifted – at least for now. ❝ And we haven’t – not formally. ❞
