Words from the other had made Lucifer look over at him, an amused look of his face. A short chuckle and a shake of his head, the devil didn't seem phased at all. More amused than anything. The man seemed to have an ego, easily twisting words. Though now Lucifer new a little more about his new buddy.

[color=9e0b0f]"Why take the risk at all if you don't have some fall back? I've dealt with too many humans, if this man doesn't have some way to keep us on the proverbial leash then I'd be throughly shocked."[/color]

Lucifer seemed to brush any possible threats aside, remaining calm. He had no reason to fear Kira so far, as far as he was aware he was just cocky. He had bigger things to worry about, fighting his fellow cagemates wasn't one of them. It was boring to have threats thrown at him, but he doesn't want to test the waters just yet. He stepped away from Kira a bit, looking around again but keeping an eye on the action.

[color=9e0b0f]"If you're so confident, maybe we should both play the peace keeper. The more hands working together the better, and after all we all want to go home. Less death the better- for now. I know I might either way, but if you're as strong as you claim I could use the help. Admittedly I don't have many powers that aren't good for non-humans. And as I've discovered- other angels from other places are [i]much[/i] stronger than I am, so 9 times out of 10 I'll lose to another me. Absolutely dreadful if you ask me, partly why I hate the damn muktiverse. There's always a bigger fish in the sea!"[/color]

Turning back around and facing Kira, Lucifer looked him down once more. He looked rather frustrated, but his posture was still rather lax and calm. No huge worry clearly showing anywhere other than his face and the slight stress to his lean. Neither of them liked the situation or wanted to be here, they could work better together. Even if Lucifer takes a supportive role four hands are better than two, plus he has wings and an immunity to fire. Luci could be very helpful even if he doesn't have a ton of powers.

[color=9e0b0f]"So, what do you say? It's easier to take others down if you have a buddy! I'm not completely useless you know, even if we can both hold our own it's easier with a small team I've learned."[/color]

Every bone in Yoshikage Kira's body begged him to turn back, to annul this pact and drop the handcuff that he was all but ready to affix to his wrist and to the wrist of his newfound friend. It was a venture built on risk, that much was undeniable - the more people watched over him, the less likely it would be that he could sneak off undisturbed and indulge himself in his deepest desires before it was too late. Already, his nails crawled steadily outward, his hands dreadfully inert, a paintbrush with neither paint nor palette to complement it. While the urge itself had not struck him, the realisation that all he had learned of Morioh would be useless here had, and that by its lonesome was enough to strike a twinge of fear into his heart.

Still, it was as he'd said. Knowledge was power, and the more people whose trust he garnered, the easier it would be to seat himself atop them and profess himself a saint. If worst came to worst, [b][color=662d91]Killer Queen[/color][/b] would dispose of them. Of that, Yoshikage Kira was more confident than ever.

He feigned a conflicted interest as these thoughts whirred through his head, stroking his chin as if mulling over the decision for a moment  before letting loose a sigh and nodding, eyes shut. Truth be told, Kira had no intentions of playing the peacekeeper - if the ones on the other side of the cage desired to act like children, then he saw no reason to stop them. If they wished to play with fire, they would assuredly get burned; intervening now would be an unnecessary conflict in the broadest of terms.

And if they attempted to reveal his secret... their blood would just have to be on his hands. But, that was a thought for another time.

[color=662d91]"Very well. I suppose four hands [i]are[/i] better then two, although I'll have you know, I don't intend to herd those rabid dogs. If you wish to try, then be my guest. I would like no part of it."[/color]

Kira paused for a moment, before peering out of the cage's glass and continuing on.

[color=662d91]"This isn't a time to make assumptions, anyway. I'd like to find out why we're here, before I go rushing to conclusions. Wouldn't you agree?"[/color]
