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.

As they walked out they enter a hallway. Many servants bowed when they saw him. "I hate it when they do that."

“Really? How come, if you don’t minder asking such a thing..” She squeezed his hand a little tighter, not much more, but enough for it to be noticeable that she was holding his hand.

"It's just…Not needed." He placed his thumb and pointer finger on the bridge of his nose.

“Ah, I get it… You could explain to them that you don’t find it necessary, and they’d probably stop, as it would probably be easier on them too.” She thought out loud.

"I have. numerous times," he explained and shook his head

She looked at the ground, pursing her lips, racking her brain for a solution. “Did they ever explain why they wouldn’t stop?”

"Nope" He just continued walking

“That’s really strange,” She quietly said. She continued to try to piece together solutions in her head, but none of them were worth mentioning.

He opened a door. it lead to his room. It was similar to the other room but was a bit bigger with a king-sized bed. "This is my room. If anytime you need anything just come in here. I'll just be doing a little bit of paperwork."

“Heh… didn’t expect that someone like you would have to do paperwork.. And alright.. This is an easy enough place to find you..” Her voice was just barely louder than a whisper, almost like an afterthought.

"What does that mean?" he looked at her quickly

She looked up at him and flinched back. “What- What part do you want me to explain..?”

"Why I wouldn't do work. I have to. it's my job"

“Well, yeah, just, you’re the ruler of demons and control the land of damned souls- I just, never thought before that you’d do things like paperwork too.. sorry..”

"It's fine." he sighed and laughed
