Morthos had closed his eyes as he laid there, now that he'd gotten over his initial awkward feeling he was much more relaxed, he could probably fall asleep like this. He cracked an eye open and glanced at her at the creepy comment, but let her finish before responding. "No, you're right, I do it on purpose. People don't bug you when you're wearing a cloak and reading a book about the lower plains of hell." He closed his eye again and thought about something as Jax complimented Harguls job, apparently he looked good.

He didn't really mind the comment, but Jax apologized anyways, "nah, don't be sorry, that's just how he is I guess." He let out a big sigh, "you know something Jax? I've never really been comfortable with who I am, and because of that I just shut everyone out. I'd rather someone see me and think 'oh, that guy looks like trouble, I'll stay away' than actually have them find out who I am and judge me for real. But since yesterday when I bumped in to you I've been reconsidering things. You didn't recoil in horror when you saw what I was, that's why I was nice and walked you home with my fire. Maybe I should stop with the cloak, buy myself some normal looking clothes, maybe....."

Morthos trailed off and was quiet for a moment, then he started snoring lightly. Any kind of movement would wake him up, but alcohol did have a tendency to make him a bit sleepy.

Morthos touched his hand to his cheek where she kissed him, he wasn't exactly sure how to react to that so instead he just responded to what she was saying. "I mean, you said it, people suck. When I was a kid I'd always get looks and get bullied, that just kind of turned me off of wanting to be a normal member of society. I guess reading all the time doesn't help, I can tell you about nearly any monster we might come in contact with, but until you I never really had someone to share that with, y'know?" He felt like he should say something about the kiss, but he wasn't sure what, "hey, uh..."

Once again Hargul to the rescue saving Morthos from his words. Morthos laughed and listened to Jax get all excited about how baby Morthos may have looked. "I mean, if you really want I could ask mom to send me some baby pictures...." He wasn't thrilled about that but he was sure he could find at least one that looked okay and wasn't him naked in the tub or something. "You don't have to be ashamed at being a little chubby as a kid, aren't most kids chubby and they grow in to it?" Hargul seemed about done with his horns at this point, "also, cinnamon rolls are pretty good. I can't say no to a lot of food, I just happen to burn off calories really easily, maybe it's the fire thing."

Morthos noticed her kick the book with the naked dude off her bed, but decided to leave it. She clearly was not planning on having him in her room given how much of a mess it was. She mentioned how he was sitting and that she wasn't going to try anything if that's what was worrying him. "What? No, I just, eh, um, you know, it's....." He had nothing, so he just laid down on the bed, his back was starting to get sore from sitting with no back support. Given Jax was further up the bed and he was on the edge previously his head was now by her butt, but he tried to ignore that fact. Luckily Hargul came in to finish his bedazzling, Morthos had nearly forgotten his horns were sparkly now. "Yes Hargul, you can finish now."

Jax seemed to be under the false notion Morthos would want to leave. "Why would I want to go home? So I could be alone and do nothing? I live in my own place, when I'm at home it's usually because I'm going to bed." He sighed as Hargul worked, "I'm an only child, I actually don't even know my dad. Sure you and Ophelia may fight and not see eye to eye, but when it comes down to it you have each others backs. I know that if I was some nutjob and said you had to choose between me or her you'd choose her. And besides, I may be getting close to being your best friend, but you're my only friend. Hanging out with you has been the most fun I've had in a long while."

Morthos figured he should stay silent as Jax spoke, she was calming down a little bit and he was scared if he said anything he may set her off again. She started leaning forward and Morthos was worried she might be falling over. But Ophelia entered the room and she stopped and looked at her. After some words she told Morthos to come see something in her room, which apparently was most definitely not her vagina. Morthos was feeling rather awkward so he quickly ran to the sink and rinsed off his plate before going to follow Jax, "um, see you later Ophelia." He wasn't exactly sure what else to say, he gave her a little comforting smile like it'll be okay before going to Jax's room.

She immediately collapsed on her bed and started cuddling her pillow. She seemed to have forgotten Morthos was there, he cleared his throat rather loudly to remind her he was indeed still here. "So, uh, nice room. What did you want to show me? Or did you just want to get away from your sister?" He sat on the edge of her bed, like, the very edge. He was barely on the bed, he was unsure how comfortable he felt sitting on a girls bed, as ridiculous as that may sound.

Morthos could tell Jax was getting a little tipsy, he considered taking the bottle but decided she'd be fine, a decision he would soon regret. Hargul showed off a bit of his power and Jax mentioned he used to serve some high up demon lords, "well I'm glad you could join us on the mortal plane Hargul." Morthos chuckled as he finished off his food, Jax was already cleaning off her plate. He was going to get up when he heard a smash and saw plate shards on the floor by the wall. She went off on a bit of a rant, Morthos wasn't entirely sure what to do, so he just sat quietly and nodded when it seemed appropriate. When she was done and had sunk down in her chair he carefully grabbed the bottle away from her. It was nearly empty at this point but he'd rather hold it than let her keep it in case she decided to smash it.

He took a swig of his own before talking, "so, let's go in order. First, I'm not sure why she's acting how she is, but she's already bonded, so that can't be undone. No matter how badly you want her to unbond, unless you can find a spell, it's not happening unless you kill Roxas. Second, you can have sex with whomever you please, no one is calling you a slut. And third, I think I met you at a great time, you seem like you could use someone to talk to." Morthos realized that was ridiculous as he finished the bottle, Jax clearly had plenty of friends, but for some reason he felt like may she wasn't incredibly close with any of them, but maybe that was just him.

"Lucifer's Soul huh...." Morthos trailed off, surprising Jax would be a lot harder if each scythe was custom made to compliment the users power. He'd be able to get her height and weight through educated guesses, and she told him how much she could lift, but someone's magical signature was something you could only get from them. He wouldn't be able to just go to this guy and tell him what Jax's strengths were, he'd have to see her for himself. Morthos was so busy thinking about how to get her that scythe he only half heard what she asked him.

"Hm? Sorry, was thinking about...something else, what can I do?" He ate some more of his food as he thought how to answer that, "I guess long story short, I blow things up?" He gave a little shrug, "it's a bit hard to explain. As you may know, most demons are good at one of two types of magic. Fire magic, and Enchantment magic, charm types spells and the like. Basically I took a liking to fire from an early age, and from there I just honed my art. I know some other spells, couple useful ones, like Mage Hand," to demonstrate he flourished his hand and made a spectral hand appear behind Jax and tap her on the shoulder, it them waved and disappeared. "That one I usually use to grab books I can't reach or are far away when I don't want to stand. Most of my spells however are pretty destructive, so it's a bit hard to show them off. Just trust when I say if we team up, you may want to invest in something to make you fire resistant, my spells aren't the most group friendly."

Jax had had a long day so Morthos didn't blame her for wanting a drink, "ya, sure, that's red wine, right? I'll have a glass if you don't mind sharing, and I won't judge if you drink from the bottle," he gave her a cheeky wink before starting on his food. It was spaghetti with shrimp in it, and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, Morthos was terrible at eating spaghetti, he always felt like he was just twirling his fork forever trying to get the noodles on.

When Jax sat down beside him he asked her, "so what separates a good scythe from a bad one. I try to avoid melee if I can, I just have my staff and some simple defensive spells if someone gets in close." Morthos was genuinely curious, but also she had mentioned it was her birthday and she wouldn't hate the idea of getting a new scythe. Given he was from a family that was rather wealthy he could definitely get that for her, he just needed to know what to look for, or ask for if he got it custom made. He also couldn't just straight up ask her because he wanted it to be a surprise. He also wasn't sure what Roxas and Ophelia were doing, but he'd let them work out their own things.

Morthos chuckled at how excited Hargul was, he supposed the little demon wasn't that bad, they'd just gotten off on the wrong foot. He was glad Jax agreed to tell him what all the commotion was about later, it felt good to be in the loop. When asked about pink or purple sparkles, "purple, I think it will match my red a lot better." Hargul excitedly got to work, and Morthos figured if it was really bad he could just cover up his horns as he usually did. Given they had some time before dinner Morthos asked Jax, "so what made you decide to fight with a big-ass scythe instead of a more conventional weapon like a sword?"

Morthos was always interested in hearing about why people fought the way they did. For him he used fire because it came more naturally to him than any other type of magic. Shortly after that point Ophelia called that dinner was ready, Hargul had not yet finished working on his horns. "Sorry Hargul, dinner's ready, you can finish up after we eat, alright?" The little guy was growing on him, despite being a few hundred years old he acted like a little kid.

Morthos took off his cloak and threw it on the back of the couch before sitting himself down next to Roxas. He was wearing a simple brown tank top underneath, inadvertently showing his somewhat muscular arms. Shortly after he sat down Ophelia stole Jax off to her room leaving the boys, Hargul included, to their own devices in the living room. Morthos didn't say much, he wasn't sure what to think of Roxas, they could also hear bits and pieces of the argument which made things minorly awkward.

Morthos only half registered Roxas asked him a question, he was too busy wondering what the problem was to tell Roxas what he thought the problem was. Hargul asked if he could bedazzle his horn, Morthos gave him a small smile and said, "sure thing man, do a design you think Jax would like." If he was going to be friends with Jax he knew he'd have to be on at least decent terms with Hargul. Besides, maybe his horns bring sparkly would get him some nicer looks, confusion was better than disdain.

Morthos gave Roxas a bit of a look when he heard what he said to Hargul, but he left the topic alone. Instead he gave Roxas his theory on the issue, "well, I've read a lot about a lot of different creatures. I'm guessing given the bite on your neck Ophelia fed on you?" Morthos didn't need an answer, he knew already based on his less than good excuse earlier, "anyways, I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that if a vampire feeds on someone a bond is created between them. I don't know the exact nature of the bond, but it's there. That's probably the big deal, considering you two just met and all."

Shortly after, Ophelia came out and started making dinner, "Italian is fine," Morthos said before Jax came out and apologized. He reached out and pat her shoulder gently, "don't worry about it," he said quietly, "if you wanna tell me what that was about you can say later." He sat back and looked at Hargul, "alright Hargul, let's get to work, yeah?"

Morthos ignored any stares by patrons, the owner and servers were nice to him at least. "Strawberry tea huh? I'm a bit more partial to blueberry tea myself." Morthos put his own menu down and glanced out the window, watching people walk by, before he could respond to Jax their server came back and took their order. "Thanks John," Morthos said as he walked away with their order before turning his attention back to Jax. "The stuff I grabbed is to help me with a fight I'm going to challenge Mitsukini to. Watching you fight Titan, it just made me think that I have to try harder."

He sighed and looked out the window, "there's this whole world out there, and up until now I've basically just been hiding away in libraries by myself. I was never really friends with anyone until you. I always wanted to just stay away from people and live my life alone, even though I know that's not really possible." He looked back at her and gave her a small smile, "but enough of my sappy ass, this is about you, you're officially a D-tier member of SPA, you're moving up in the world, maybe I won't be far behind you."
