[i][b][color=7ea7d8]Dark Lord's castle[/color][/b][/i]

Such polite words. That boy surely had some diplomacy. Not that Alastor knew Lucifer too well yet, but a gracious reply wasn't something he could expect from most of the brutes who formed his army. He could feel that the boy was trying to avoid making any more mistakes, but still dared to lecture his master on strategic affairs. How insolent... And still, the Lord liked that slight boldness in him. He could feel his lips curling into a hint of a smile. 

[color=7ea7d8]"I understand."[/color] He simply said while he helped him to stand up, accepting his apology. [color=7ea7d8]"And I'm willing to discuss this matter with you if that can help you clearing your doubts."[/color] He gestured towards his study, still warm with the heat of the fireplace. Actually, he would have welcome any other of his seven advisors, but it seemed that none of them had any interest in planning their next actions at this hour of the night. [color=7ea7d8]"I'd be grateful if you decided to let me see that message, though it's up to you showing me your personal correspondence. But keep in mind that, if we were to convince those people to join our cause, I'll need someone to negotiate with them, and not many of my men inspire confidence. Would you be prepared if I decided to entrust you that task? Because I won't allow any mistakes."[/color]

He could have kept talking to the boy, but right then an unexpected visitor appeared. Zenith, Alastor's third dog. And it seemed that this one couldn't really get too far from his master without feeling some kind of anxiety. He was useful indeed, but that fixation of his of being all the time around him sometimes made Alastor slightly uncomfortable.

The master released Lucifer's hand and turned to stare at the newcomer. The water droplets that were falling from his hair had started to form a small puddle on the floor, and the ones who still lingered on his skin only seemed to add to his already disheveled appearance a hint of sloppiness. It made Alastor frown visibly. And no, he didn't bother to reply to his question, as it should be obvious by now that everything was, indeed, well enough. [color=7ea7d8]"Zenith, is that the proper way to show yourself before your Master?"[/color] He simply turned around, though his dogs, on the contrary, approached Zenith wagging their tails happily to greet him. [color=7ea7d8]"You better clean that floor before it gets dirtier."[/color] The man started walking towards his study again. [color=7ea7d8]"And, by the way, bring Lucifer a blanket. Humans can't stand the cold the way you do."[/color] And with that, he simply entered the room and sat on a sofa, finishing his short conversation with his loyal servant.
