Adelphie left Jean with little more than a scoff, because they were both unaware that his words were little more than just that. Words. She refused to be made complacent by idle promises, but she also would not be put out by his change of attitude.
Centuries had passed between them, and she could wait however long it would take him to warm up to the idea of being fun, again. She'd wait until he was bored with books and cats, and they'd fall back into their old ways. Ah, how she missed those nights.
Adelphie held off leaving the shop long enough to find Rylan and hand her a business card with explicit instructions that she should call her for lunch. The maenad did not care that she was interrupting; was not oblivious to the change in the cat she had taken an interest in. Winking at the Grigori that she knew she annoyed, she pushed over-sized sunglasses over her eyes and excited the shop, much the way she had entered. With flair.
As the redhead left, Belial turned the business card over in her hands. Crimson eyes did not stray from her company to read the words embossed upon the surface of it. "You would," they emphasized, indicating that their conversation would be continuing. "However, I have no intention of hurting your feelings. So, I suppose the time between slights upon your character will continue to add up."
They couldn't decide if his smirk was vanity, enjoying the idea of being admired in its simplicity. Or if he believed his pretty face gave him some sort of advantage upon them. The last was certainly not true. Belial had witnessed centuries of pretty faces, his was another on a long list of pleasant configurations. "Your voice is much nicer outside of her head," the demon admitted, the business card disappearing with a wave of the hand. Like a street magician's trick. "Inside, it's too much noise. Deafening. Like too many people talking over one another."
Frowning, they turned up their nose and pushed all of their hair over their shoulders to fall across their back. "The Fox was not nice," they replied, and it sounded very much like a complaint. "But he is not nice to anyone."
Even with as good as he was at pretending to be.
They watched him toy with an ebony strand from their periphery, and when he tried to pull away, they grabbed his hand instead. Pressing his palm to their cheek, a pleased sigh passed through ruby-painted lips. "Perhaps, I am not here for the books," they suggested, cryptically; they watched him through a dark fringe of lashes. "I go where the cat goes," they continued, though that much was obvious. "But the cat is not here for the books either."
