“Everyone is fond of their city until they see it in ruins.” Of course, Ky wasn’t exactly planning on burning it down. Maybe a fire or two, but destroying a city took effort, and that was the one kind he didn’t truly have at the moment, “’Course, I doubt it would be me. Not exactly too interested in getting into a fight that would be taxing.”
Her mind couldn’t even come up with a remark to shoot back. She was fucking floored. Her whole head was a mix of rage, disrespect, and need to push this fucker’s face into the dirt with the heel of her combat boot to show him everything wrong with what he had dared to say to her.
“Excuse me?”
He better not reply with anything more snippy, or he would be wishing he was back in hell.
He expected that she would be upset with his comments. It wasn’t often someone actually enjoyed what he said, but he had been wrong before. None the less, a deep breath was taken in, and then let out slowly.
“Do I have to repeat myself?”
❛ not exactly what i was goin’ for, and also kind of rape-y sounding, but… uhh, thanks for that visual. ❜ the blonde eyed ky curiously, feeling the need to step back but also stopping herself from doing so.
❛ too bad. think it would get boring if you all didn’t have the means of a vessel. and frustrating no doubt. ❜ she made a mental note of trying to keep some of her curiousities to herself.
❛ it actually could be quite fun. you know, not having to deal with a body, and could be a once in a life time opportunity.❜ not that he would actually do such a thing – to someone who wasn’t willing-, but he still put it out on the table. as an option, ❛ though, everything gets boring after a while, doesn’t it? ❜
Mary pursed her lips but help back from arguing the difference between living your life, dying a natural death, and getting reaped, and being killed in the name of a demon deal and having your soul dragged to hell. Again, it wasn’t like they’d see eye to eye there either, but what the demon said next struck her as odd. A change of heart? From a demon. She wasn’t aware they even had hearts.
“What do you mean a few years back?” she asked. She already doubted how honest the answer might be but while he was being so candid, she couldn’t help but press him for answers given her curiosity. “So what changed? Because you know what happens to the souls of people you make your deals with.”
“The souls are used as the one I work for see’s fit. Sometimes they are turned into Demons, but that’s rare.” If they were turned, Ky didn’t know about it, and that was how he wanted to keep it. Ignorance was bliss at times.
“As for a few years back?” The man folded his arms firmly over his chest, “I don’t think you need to know. See, I make sure someone’s happy, and if it means handing over a few hundred souls a year? So be it.”
“ humanity is boring.” he could have gone on to state that they had potential, but the demon didn’t believe that. at most, they were amusing, but that was it. “ they lack the taste for true amusement. not to mention they smell. “
it could be worse. being on his knees was less debasing than a few other things Ky could suggest and he’d fight tooth and nail before doing those too. at this point it’s more of a habit than anything else. before it was just stubbornness. his resistance has worn down to where his arguments don’t last as long as they used to. he’ll end up chained again and he’d rather not spend the night like that. doing whatever Ky wants is usually easier when he knew he’d be left alone if he’s good. “I’m assuming you want me naked,” he answered simply, pulling his shirt over his head to toss it aside then reaching for his pants. he doesn’t mind waiting in bed so much if he’s allowed to read. “any other demands like what position you want me in while I’m at it?”
he could have demanded that caleb be on his knee’s for the rest of the night. that would have been far more amusing than anything else. though, at the same time, that would have meant far more effort than he personally had, and the demon wasn’t in the mood for that. for now, he was simply wanting the other to have nothing on, and go from there, “just read…. it’s all your good at anyways.”
“Oh, come now. There’s almost always a REASON to care.” For him, the keyword was ‘almost’. He knew from firsthand experience that there were many times in which one simply becomes purely numb to a situation.
“I’ve yet to find a REAL reason to to do so.” It was simple logic in his mind; why should he put out some form of interest when it wasn’t in his best interests to commit to the act. “These days…. everything is so bland.”
“You don’t strike me as the killing type, especially with you being so honest. What has made you such an open book, my dear?”
“Everyone can be the killing type if pushed to the limit.” Though, for Ky, he would have rather killed just for the sport of it at times, but that was besides the point, “I just don’t seem to be in the mood today.”
Eyes gaze up at the other slowly. “You called?” It’s strange; having this new position. It has given her both more POWER & more knowledge, but she’s still taking some time to get used to it all. Though, of course, it doesn’t show. “Take it you’ve heard about me, word travels.”
“You spend enough time on Earth and you hear everything . From the heavens down to down below, everything eventually comes through on this middle ground.” What he heard was much, but not exactly enough. Especially, when it came to important factors such as the new Death, “I just wanted to see if the rumors were true.”
❝ oh, come on, it’s not a race thing, i don’t play nice with anybody. ❞
demons could be so entitled and whiny. she may have originated from heaven but she felt no ties to it. if anything, she was further from it than lucifer’s little creatures were.
❝ neither do i, but sometimes it’s easier to play along than deal with what comes afterwards. ❞
then again, he despised angels, and all that they stood for. if they were to all vanish one day, he wouldn’t really bat an eye, but then again, he doubted that it would truly happen.
❝ so, you don’t have to play nice with me, but at least we could have a decent conversation. well, as long as you don’t try anything. ❞
