Nik was desperate, by now. He had been let go from his job a month ago, and had just used nearly the last of his money to cover this month's rent. He didn't have enough left for another month, so unless he could find a new job…he didn't want to go back to what he had done for three years, but…if he didn't have any other choice…

He had found an old book in the library, wedged back in the stacks, forgotten and ancient, dust covering old, cracking pages. There was a symbol drawn inside of it, and instructions. Supposedly, it would summon a being that would perhaps grant a favor? If he was careful and did this right.

So he carefully sketched the symbol onto a sheet of paper, then got out a knife. He let out a faint breath, closing his eyes to get his courage up. Hopefully this would work. If it didn't, he still had a week or so to figure something else out. If he couldn't…he swallowed as he considered what he would have to do again. He didn't want to go back to doing that.

So, before he could lose his nerve, he pricked the center of his hand and watched as a bead of blood dropped onto the paper. He bit his lip, and waited.

It had been very boring for Kieran. Of course, his dear demon partner had buried himself into their treasure trove of books and distracted himself with things such as chess. Kieran only really cared for his garden, having lost inspiration for his art. He sighed drearily. "Ashhhhhhh, I'm bored-" He pouts at the other demon who was currently reading The Great Gatsby and sipping at some tea. The white haired demon glances up and shrugs. "Go torment a human then…"

"I already did that this week." He sighs. "No one summons us anymore. Don't you remember the days when we were seen as gods?" He pouts a little before floating over to the others side and sighing. "Such a dreadfully boring book…" He trailed off as he perked. The sweet, metallic smell of blood entered his nose and he perked. "Ash you smell that, right?"

Ash was already shutting his book. He finished his tea before grabbing Kieran's hand. "Then let's get going." They disappeared from their room and appeared in thin air above the human that summoned them. Kieran licked his lips and smirked. "Look at this cutie, hmm Ash?" He giggles a little and leans forward from where he's hovering and gazing at the smaller. Ash grabbed him and pulled him back. "Hello, human. It seems you've summoned us. I apologize for my companion. He tends to get overzealous." Ash turned his cold eyes to the human. "How may we serve you?"

Nik stepped back when one of the beings who had appeared leaned forward, and he bit his lip again. He had thought there would only be one, not two… He took a deep breath, looking up at them. "I want to make a deal." He said slowly, hoping Smoke wouldn't come running in and messing all of this up. He had no idea how to phrase all of this, either, and could only hope he was saying the right things to these…creatures. People? Whatever they were.

Ash regards the human curiously and smirks slightly. He bites his lower lip, "A deal, hm?" He tilts his head. Kieran chuckles and leans on his hand. "My, my. A deal, dear Ash. We haven't had one of those in quite a while. Why don't we entertain ourselves and see what happens?" Kieran coos, licking his lips subtly. "He looks rather adorable. I think we should give him a chance." He purrs lowly. Ash nods in agreement. "Very well. We're listening. What deal would you like to strike?" He asks, tapping his cheek.
