"Oh, I do. I see you a lot. More than most people." He smirked

She crossed her arms in front of her, then asked, her voice shakey, “What’s that supposed to mean?! And why- why me…” She trailed off, and dropped her gaze, unable to hold eye contact with him.

"What I mean is that I seemed to always keep demons away from you more than a normal person." He said with a Serious tone. "I don't let demons go all willy nilly like people think I do"

Hearing this, she raised her head again, locking eyes with him. Her gaze seemed to soften. “You, you really did that? Well.. I guess I have to thank you for that..” her voice was soft, and the shaky tone started to disappear.

"I'm not as mean as you think I am. Unless you get on my nerves then…That's a different story" He crossed his arms and sighed. "anyways we need to get going."

“Well that’s a relief,” she offered the slightest bit of humor under her breath, the side of her mouth turning up in a half smile. “If you don’t mind my asking, where are we going,” She timidly asked, hoping that she wasn’t pushing her luck at all.

"where do you think?" he said almost more than asked

She flinched back, then muttered, “Oh… yeah… sorry..” Definitely pushing her luck, she concluded.

"Anyways Ready?" He clearly didn't like it here.

“Yeah… As ready as I can be.” She shrugged halfheartedly.

He sighed and teleported them back into a room that had black colored walls, with a queen sized bed that had a red comfort, A desk, And a walk in closet. The closet had dark colored clothes like red, black, and dark grays. The desk has a few blank papers, an ink bottle, and a quill. "This will be your room for now. There isn't much but it will suffice." He said with a normal expression.

She looked around the room. “It’s- it’s nice… Thank you… The color scheme is really nice,” she quietly said, genuinely meaning it. She ran her hands over her arms, feeling out of place and nervous.

"I need to go do something. Do Not. I repeat. Do Not leave this room," he said as he walked out of the room.

Adagio didn’t get a chance to reply before he left the room. She really didn’t have a want or need to leave the room anyway- believe it or not, she really wasn’t in the mood to explore the devils realm. She looked around the room again, then walked over to the bed. She sat down on the edge, then flopped backwards onto it, staring at the ceiling and trying to comprehend all that had happened.

A helper walked in and smiled 'kindly'. "I was told to see if you needed anything."

She instantly sat up and turned to look in their direction. Drawing her legs up to her chest, she forced herself to smiled back and replied, “No thanks- I’m good.”

"You sure your not hungry or anything?" She was trying to be polite.

She slumped into herself a little then insisted, “No, I’m alright. Thank you very much though.” She smiled at her again, this one more genuine.

"If you say so, mistress." she bowed and left

She watched as she left, not able to help the small smile that still lingered on her face. She stared down at the bedsheets, trying to figure out what all that would happen would mean for her life. She began to spiral down the huge paths of what if, trying to picture her future with the devil. She tried to stay optimistic, continuously reminding herself that things couldn’t be all that bad.

After a while, he walked back in clearly mad at something.

Adagio perked her head up to see him walk in, and began to swing her legs over the side of the bed. “What’s- what’s wrong?” She cautiously asked him, now walking towards him.

"Just some of the demons trying to overthrow me. Like they could ever do that." He chuckled quietly.

“Oh,” she paused in her tracks, looking over at him. “Well, I’m sorry they don’t trust you’re ability to rule enough, or that they don’t have enough respect of you to try and do that… I think you’re probably a good leader..” She rambled on a little, playing with a piece of her hair.

"I have no idea." he sighed almost with a growl. "Anyways want me to show you around?" He said genuinely for the first time in his existence.

She shuffled her feet a little bit, before finally making up her mind and saying, “Well, if this is going to be my new home.. Then sure, I’d appreciate that.” A small half smile appeared involuntarily on her face.

He held out his hand to her. He didn't know if she'd take it or not, but tried anyways.

She looked at his hand for a moment, and before she knew it, she found herself gingerly taking it, stepping closer to him.

He smiled lightly. "Ready?"

She nodded. “Yup.” She smiled lightly in return.
