Orion felt a warmth go through him that he couldn't explain. When she took his hand, for a moment, he felt safe. He forgot about the Royals and what they did to him for a second just to enjoy the touch of a beautiful girl. 

"You should see your own eyes." He commented back upon her compliment. 

Her hand was cool, not like the warm touch of a human hand. No, she was far from human. Perfection was out of human reach, and she seemed to embody it. His ghoulish eyes calmed to a faint glow as the bright red and pitch black became a warm red and dark, charcoal grey. And yet she smelled so wonderful. Part of him couldn't help but wonder what she tasted like. That part of him [i]longed[/I] to devour her, bones and all. His other hand twitched ever so slightly. It wanted to grab her while she was close so that he could get just one bite. Just before he lost his composure, the entrance door to the cell block slammed open.

Although he had a certain level of weariness toward setting the Fallen One loose, Desmond was excited. He was anxious to learn more about the new potential enemy, for knowledge was power. And he liked having power over things. With the Chancellor informed, he returned to the cell block. He figured she would probably make her own way there. Such a figure would likely want to put eyes on this unknown beast that was about to roam her school grounds, although it was possible she had other things to do. 

Des kicked the door open in a flourish of an entrance, nearly dancing down the steps to the main floor. He briskly moved over toward the cell where the two young ones had been apparently bonding and snapped his fingers at the nearest guardian. 

"Come now, open his cell already, I'm sure he doesn't have all day to wait on you." He said passively, as if annoyed that they didn't already know what only Des, Dolorante, and the Queen knew. "Cordellenia, your highness, would you mind taking our new friend to administration to be registered and given living quarters? Tell them that Desmond Lloyd has approved this and to call me if there is any issue." He whipped out a small card with his information on it and held it out for her to take.
