"Did you?" Lilith asked, her eyes roaming over him slowly. "You seem capable of taking care of yourself at least." She grinned. "You have the appearance of an athletic man."

[not_apriest]

"I know how to fight," he told her, feeling quite free to look her over as well, considering the scope of her gaze. "I'm a Musketeer for the King of France."

[first_demon]

She stepped closer, licking her lips temptingly. "Were you? So then you are a protector to those in need? You were a guard to royalty?"

[not_apriest]

A smile. "I protected the king. Though I suppose you could say he was in need of it." A slight quirk of his eyebrow. "Is there anything you're in need of?"

[first_demon]

"I am not so threatened...not yet." Lilith said with a small shrug. "But there is danger for me. My enemies surround me here, already they have made it clear they will destroy me. I am nothing but a poor woman and they fear me, for I have power."

[not_apriest]

"What sort of power?" It's fairly clear he finds the idea alluring rather than frightening.

[first_demon]

"I am the first of my kind. The one who cam before Eve and Adam, just after Lucifer's fall. He created me once I fled the Garden." Lilith said, batting her eyes. "I am the first demon."

[not_apriest]

He raised an eyebrow slightly. That was intriguing.

"You don't look the way I was taught to imagine demons." A pause. "Unless you ask a friend of mine, I suppose, but he had a bad experience."

[first_demon]

She grinned, unable to resist the flirtatious lilt to her voice. "And how do I look to you?"

[not_apriest]

There's a hint of a smile as he replies "More like an angel."

[first_demon]

She's flattered and places a kiss on his cheek. "I had heard the French were charming. Now I see it is true."

[not_apriest]

"And do you like that in a man? Charm?" he asks.

[first_demon]

"I am very fond of charm. It makes everything all the more interesting. I am also fond of talent."

[not_apriest]

"It's been suggested that I have some...talents."

[first_demon]

"Yes, I suspect you do. Perhaps a display is in order?"

[not_apriest]

"If you're agreeable, I'd invite you somewhere with a little more privacy. Knowing it's a trick, I suddenly don't feel the need to investigate this carnival anymore." He offers her his hand.

[first_demon]

She takes his hand, more than eager to have a bit of privacy. Being in a place with Lucifer's frequent image appearing in the corner of her eye.

"Where should we go?"

[not_apriest]

A smile. "I have a room. I think I even have a bottle of wine." A bit of a dryer smile. "I, at the very least, have a closet."

[first_demon]

"I believe wine would be delightful." Her arm linked with his. Her smile growing. "Lead the way."

[not_apriest]

He shared a three bedroom flat with two other Musketeers, but when they arrived, Athos and D'Artagnan were out. He fetched a bottle of wine and offered her a seat on the sofa in the common room while he grabbed a couple of clean glasses.

He smiled at her as he poured her a glass and placed it in her hand, brushing her fingers with his as he did so. He took a seat beside her once he'd poured his own glass.

"To new friends," he suggested, tilting her glass very slightly towards her.

[first_demon]

She could smell the other men that lived here as well. It didn't disturb her, it only made this tryst more tantalizing. Taking the glass, she tapped it against his own in salute.

"And to new possibilities." Lilith said with a clear grin. He was strong and talented. He would make a worthy ally.

[not_apriest]

She had a vaguely predatory air about her. He liked it. He took a sip of wine, watching her over the rim of his glass, then set it aside.

"Possibilities are always exciting."

[first_demon]

"They are indeed, especially when it is a mutually shared possibility."

[not_apriest]

"The mutually shared kind are my favourite." He leaned in, testing the water, as it were.

[first_demon]

She leaned forward as well, giving a small chuckle as her lips brushed his. Her fingers caressed the length of his jaw, bringing him closer to her.
