Welcome to my Lair

His response to her teasing was more than she had expected, maybe a laugh or a returned quip. His profanity and vehement denial of being afraid of the dark made her think that he was perhaps one of the many who had problems with the night and all of its terrors. Maybe it was only that she was one of the many terrible things that hid in the shadows, or perhaps that night time had always been beneficial to her, but Lurid had never developed nyctophobia. She made a mental note of his response but did not react much more than raising her brows as if to question what could be in the dark.

Orpheus accepted her invitation, bringing a brilliant smile to the devil-queen's face, waving her tail behind her to express her happiness with his response. "I am sure the opportunity will come up on the way, plenty of prey between here and the redwoods of the north." Her grin stayed on her face, and she nodded her head as if to say 'let's go.' The earthen shaded man was still a wild card as far as she was concerned, but she could handle herself. His true test would be meeting Alastor and seeing what he thought of the male. With her invitation accepted, Lurid turned to leave and set off for home. She had a lot to do still, but she was gaining confidence by the hour. Her empire would raise, Mirovis would stand again, and she would bring fear to the coldest hearts in all of Boreas.
