[IC] The ultimate goblin king-beware his powers

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia sits patiently as they sniff her. “Do they do this to every human?”

[Shadow Dragon]

"No. Normally, they just eat humans. They can smell my mark on you."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia blushes faintly and clears her throat. “The Deal’s mark?”

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yep. Look at your hand." He snaps, and a tight arcane ring spirals out behind him, the same one appearing on her hand like a tattoo, though much smaller.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia looks at her hand, her blush ebbing away.

[Shadow Dragon]

He chuckles. "Among other things, of course." He licks his lips without realizing it.

[Sharidi37495]

“Other things?” Cesidia blushes when she looks up to see him licking his lips.

[Shadow Dragon]

He shrugs, his wings making the moment somewhat awkward. "It can....change, depending on how you feel about me, and the Underworld in general."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia blushes faintly and looks at her hand. “Has it changed?” She looks behind herself. “And what are you looking at that’s so delicious?”

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles, his teeth hidden. "I have a feeling you know. You just want me to say it."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia crosses her arms and looks him in the eye. “I do want you to say it because no I don’t know the answer.”

[Shadow Dragon]

He chuckles. "You, of course." His eyes glow strangely, more white then their normal, fiery red.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia blushes and gasps softly. “I- I thought you didn’t like mortals like that.”

[Shadow Dragon]

He shrugs. "I never have. But you're....different. I can't put my finger on it."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia huffs softly with a soft smile. "I suppose this is a first for both of us then. I can't exactly say I've fallen for someone like you before if I am to be honest. Hmm..." she sighs. "If you were to make me a demon, would that be an alternative to collecting my soul on your end of the bargain?"

[Shadow Dragon]

He shrugs. "I'm....not sure. Devils don't have souls of our own."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia frowns then sighs. "Do you control your terms? What you get out of the deal, or is it specifically for souls?"

[Shadow Dragon]

"I could, but the more things I add, the less of a change they'll agree. 'It takes two men to make a Deal. A desperate man and a winner.' That's an old saying."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia smiles faintly. "It started off with me as the desperate one, but in this situation wouldn't we both be... both?"

[Shadow Dragon]

He rubs his horns, thinking. "In a sense, but you agreed to it so I would help your kingdom. I offered it, because I want and need mortal souls. I can see how they would both apply to me, but I'm not seeing many ways for you to be a 'winner'. Logically anyway. But in the terms of relationship.....I don't know. Never had one with a mortal before."
