[center]AMPELLIO
" A magic user, you say? It is rare to see one of those around here, but I will assist you in any way I can. Afterall, if there was a magic user in my ranks, I would certainly want to know." He opened the door further, inviting the two demons inside. He had faith in Valente, for he might not be the smartest person around, but if anything, his magic was powerful enough to make up for it. Placing a simple optical misdirection spell would be well within his power. And if not, Ampellio was strong enough to take these two demons on singlehandedly. Inviting them in a den full of vampires was overkill. " Please, come in."

He waited until the demons stepped through the doorway and Ampellio politely took their umbrella, hanging it up on the rack beside the door. Once he was turn, he turned back to the demons with a calm smile and rubbed his hands together. " Anywhere you would like to go first? I would have to accompany around the house, of course, but you are free to go wherever you like. I'm afraid my family does not take well to strangers walking about unaccompanied."

" Perhaps the kitchen?" The blue haired demon suggested and Ampellio nodded his head. 

" That sounds perfect. I do believe our resident housekeeper is in there. If anyone has seen anything strange, it would most definitely be him."

TRIXXTAL
" Don't fucking bullshit me Jecht!" Trixxtal immediately countered, stopping the crazed waving long enough so that they both could see the card better, " I know what lipstick logos look like and this isn't a [i]logo![/i]" The angrier he got, the louder his voice became. The business card became meaningless as it fell from Trixxtal's fingers and fluttered to the ground, forgotten now that there was a new subject for Trixxtal to focus on. " Are you lying to me now? Do you have something to [i]hide[/i] from me?"

The business card had been enough to set him off at first, but now it was Jecht's demeanor about the whole thing that was really pissing him off and pushing his anger further. " You might not care about her feelings but you're definitely not turning her down! Taking [i]that[/i]," He pointed furiously at the offensive card on the ground, " is basically an invitation for her to hit on you! Ugh! I can't believe you don't understand this!"

Listening to Jecht trying to defend himself only made things that much worse, specifically when he said a word Trixxtal absolutely hated. [i]Jealous[/i]. That was always Jecht's 'go to word' whenever they fought. First it had been that Trixxtal was jealous over Cepheus, over Mariemaia, over Jenna, over Clara, over Jonathan, over pretty much everyone on the entire fucking planet. " I wouldn't have to get [i]jealous[/i] if you never gave me a reason to be!"

" That's right," The wizard said from behind him, now seated in the slashed up armchair with a plate of sandwiches and chips, " What about the one he named his dog after!"

The mere mention of Cepheus made the hairs on his arms stand up on end. Dead or not, Trixxtal still hadn't gotten over his hatred for that bastard, and he had to be reminded of it everytime he saw that stupid small dog Jecht paraded around. His fingers were shaking as he angrily wiped the tears out of his eyes, refusing to cry over something as little as this, " If you really loved me you wouldn't keep doing this to me over and over again! Every year theres something else and I'm getting tired of it Jecht!!"[/center]
