(Heck yeah)
Mike walks down the street, scanning the area for anything useful.

Asura leaned against the wall of the cafe, a faint gold glow radiating from his body. He concealed most of his aura with a long coat, but some escaped from his blonde smoke colored hair.

Mike noticed the man, but didn't let himself worry about it. For all he knew, everyone looked like that in this dimension. He entered the cafe and asked for a coffee, sitting outside to watch the passers-by.

Asura caught sight of somebody walking in and ordering coffee. He wondered what it tasted like. He also wondered what it was like to taste something, but he would never know. Asura sighed in disappointment, exhaling a puff of smoke.

Mike looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "Can you not afford a coffee, bud? Is that why you're staring at mine?"

Asura gave him a smile. "I can't taste anything," he replied bitterly.

"Oh. My apologies." Walked right into that one, idiot, he though to himself. "Anything else I can do for you, then?"

He glared at the man, the aura around him burning bright. "Why are you still talking to me? What do you want from me? If you're looking for Lucifer, I'm not him, and I have no idea where he is right now." Asura internally flinched at his demeanor. He was actually overjoyed to be talking to somebody other than a demon.

Mike sat back and held up his hands. "Hey, chill. I was rude, so I'm trying to make amends. You looked a little lost or bored, is all. Also, I didn't think you were Lucifer. Am I likely to meet him around here? I hadn't even thought of that."

Asura shrugged. "It's hard to say. He likes to jump from dimension to dimension, and despite being his brother, I never really know where he is." He looked down at his boots.

"Mm. I get it." Mike nodded at the chair opposite his. "Why don't you sit down? My name's Mike. I'm from Earth."

Asura's eyes lit up at the word. "Earth? Isn't that the place that humans live?" He asked excitedly.

"It's the only place I know of that has humans, yeah."

He sat next to Mike, suddenly full of energy. "I've never been to Earth before. Lucifer doesn't like me going there, he says that I'll disturb the balance of good and evil in that universe… but I've always wanted to check it out." He sat up a little straight and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm in my human form now. Do you think I could pass as normal on Earth?" The golden light that radiated from him was stronger than ever, and even gave an electrical feel to the air.

Mike gave him a slightly amused look. "Well, you're doing fine except for the aura. You might want to turn it down if you can." He took a sip of coffee. "So if you're Lucifer's brother…what kinda being does that make you, exactly? If it's not rude to ask."

Just for reference, the blue stuff from this guy's hands is what Asura's aura looks like, except it's gold with a bit of shimmer

Asura frowned. "Technically, I'm a god. I just don't hold the status, because Lucifer took it from me. Only one of us can be a God," he explained, his bitter tone returning to his voice.

(Daaang awright XDD Good to know)
"Ah, I get it. Why don't you just make yourself a god of something else? Does someone more powerful have to promote you?"

"Exactly right. I have to earn the respect of somebody with a higher status than me. Lucifer could do it, but you know," he waved his hand, gold trailing from his fingertips, "he's an asshole."

Mike grinned slightly at that. "Of course. That makes sense. So, buddy…sorry, don't think I caught your name?"
