Welcome to my Lair

Listening to the formal speech patterns of the male, Lurid smiled as he invited her to stay the night with him. Now really, what would he expect from her if she did? No, Alastor would not approve of his empress playing sleep-over with a man she just met, or at all for that matter. She had a family to think of, and many things to do before she could rest. He moved inside before she could answer, but Lurid remained steadfast in her initial reaction of mild shock and twisted humor. He would be headed up north, where she had taken up a residence. She could have every opportunity to seek him out when she returned there. "I have a home up north I should be getting back to, I actually prefer traveling at night. The cold has never bothered me, so if you wish to, you can find me in the red forest up there." A smile spread more across her maw as he popped his head back out to look at her. "It is an absolute pleasure to meet you, Orpheus. I am Lurid Amarix, Night Mother - empress - of Mirovis, and on my life I would never call anyone 'Orphie.'" Holographic white-lavender seemed to sparkle in the dim light, meeting the brilliant garnet of his own eyes. "Perhaps, you could help me get home...If you aren't afraid of the darkness, that is..." Her tone implied she was only teasing, she could see the beast in his eyes.
