Himiko was still deep in thought when out of the corner of  her gaze she noticed something peculiar start to flow into her cell from the vent. Her eyes slowly diverted from the wall she had been staring at towards the black dust that gathered to constitute a humanoid form in the center of her cell. She remained there upon her bed, watching it unfold with her upside down perspective until a horned demon was squatted before her. She remained calm and composed, even though a demon forming in a locked cell would likely scare most. His velvety smooth voice was pleasant to listen to, as if it was coated in honey as he addressed her. It made him seem and appear friendly, as if he was a friend of hers. Though she knew they had never met before, he seemed to know about her and her plans.

Himiko had been expecting someone to show up, but he wasn’t who she had been expecting. But she wasn’t about to complain, it was better than not having anyone show up at all. Her golden yellow eyes scanned her guest from head to toe before coming to rest on the black tome within his demonic grasp. Her expression remained neutral and she had not yet uttered a single word as she took it all in. His tome gave her a pause as something about it gave her an uneasy feeling deep in the pit of her stomach. She wasn’t sure what he could possibly want from her, or what sort of deal he would put on the table.  Waiting for him to finish as she mulled over this unexpected encounter before she finally broke her silence.

[color=fff200]“Someone has been eavesdropping haven’t they, you're not the one I was expecting, but if you came all the way here to speak with me with some sort of deal in mind and put forth the effort to get into here I will hear you out, you have a captive audience”[/color] her tone filled with whimsy,  shrugging her shoulders, still not bothering to change her position. It wasn’t like she had much of a choice in the matter, besides his arrival and remarks intrigued her. Plus if it meant getting out of this cell it was kind of hard to argue or disagree with.

Even so, every deal had a kicker, so getting to the bottom of that was a priority. She was sure there was some kind of catch he would drop on her. After all he had all the power on his side in the current situation and there wasn’t much she could do about that fact. She was at a disadvantage if it came down to negotiations as she had little to no leverage depending on what kind of deal he wanted.

Sometimes you had to make a deal with a devil to get things done, but was this the time?
