Re: Escape from Hell (TheAlpacalypse)
"Great, I'm looking forward to it, Kira. The Wild Apprentice Corner Club an hour before sunset," he repeated back to her, to make sure he had it correct. I don't know how he got out so quick, but damn that Ro'khan. Using my one weakness (women) against me is low, even for him. Not that believing he was walking into a trap would prevent Mal from striding headfirst into it, but he was certainly expecting his former owner to be waiting for him at the club. Or, you're being paranoid. See? She didn't even notice that you fucked up your own name.
That same wolfish grin (his grinning muscles were starting to hurt, but no matter) swept back over his face at the mention of being paid, broadened at the mention of food, and nearly strained a muscle in the half-blood's face at the possibility of some quality time in the morning with Kira. "Oh, you needn't worry about that; I assure you, I won't be too busy for you, my dear." Their business concluded, ((I assume Kira has nothing of further interest to add?)) Malvaero'gol would admire the shapely demoness's retreating figure as long as he could from where he was standing. Once she was out of sight, he started thinking about the evening, and began imagining what Kira's sister could possibly look like; he imagined her with hair ranging from a shade lighter than Kira's, to the darkest black, and eyes the color of Where are the fucking docks? He spared a glance around him, hoping he could maybe see the masts of boats, or even water, but quickly abandoned the idea as the density of the buildings offered no hope of catching a glimpse of anything else. Great. Great! Now, not only are we walking into a trap, but we don't even know where it's supposed to be, except that it's not outside those gates, he half-muttered to himself, gesturing flippantly at the nearby portal. The gates, for their part, ignored him. Mal did a double-take upon seeing one of the gate guards, and lightly smacked himself in the forehead. "Why don't I just ask one of the guards?" Closing the distance at a reasonably paced walk, the incubus would look around briefly for a guard who was only slightly busy, hopefully not so busy that he'd be annoyed enough to remember the intrusion, but busy enough that he'd have more important things to get back to. Assuming such a quarry presents itself (and waiting a few minutes should it look as though one of the guards might meet the criteria shortly), Mal will walk up to him (or her, of course). "Excuse me, sir (or ma'am), I seem to have taken a wrong turn. Could you tell me where the docks are?"
