raphael.

Hello, my lady.

That is me! Oho!

My daughter making friends.

Oho.

Perhaps the family grows bigger at this rate.

Truly?

This is most refreshing! Usually people are begging at my feet.

Take your leader for example. Almost cried for the vampires sake.

[He snaps his fingers and parchment appears.]

Then this is for you, my dear little fox.

Take it. Sign it. Then it shall be done.

I'm sure this has already been introduced to you. The crown of Karsus?

I want it.

For myself. No one else.

If you need someone with power, that will surely get you there. I can help, should I get my clawed fingers on it.

[He snorts.

A little bit rude, but its business.]

It's as if you can read my mind.

But then again, who doesn't desire power.

[He crosses his arms in thought. He cannot show this young man how deserpate he is. He needs a win. He needs this opportunity.

For time is running out.]-

tell you, you won't help me. Nothing gory, of course. But perhaps it is certain actions I'll need steering towards. Your friend is smart. But I bet you can be evern smarter about this all.

Don't you think?

[He taps his chin in thought.]

You are MIGHTY clever.

Tis true. I don't know what you want. You don't know what I want.

[Most mortal requests are ever so easy!

But he's desperate. This is his may be his chance to show everyone how pretty he looks with that crown.]

Hmm... I fear if I do-

There seems to be lots and lots of orphaned tieflings.
You seem the sort.

Your blouse is FILTHY.

Oh I /see/.

Are you one of those orphaned children?

That is all, little one.

Who are /you/?

…. Who am I?

Why! I am Raphael!

[Oho. Fair game.]

You’re going to make a /devil/ sign something?
Well it would mean I’d have to stay true to my word, wouldn’t it?

Your best?

Hmmmm. Well if our goals align so well, perhaps its best I have a keen ally on board.

Very well!~

You’ve convinced me.

HAHAHAHHA HOW DELIGHTFUL.

Hm…

Be honest.

I’m more of a wizard character. Or Madam Morrible.

….

[snaps his fingers. pink attire. And blonde hair. Like his entire outfit has been swatch matched!]

[He tents his fingers in thought.]

I am leaning more towards it. Yes.

[He lowers his voice. Low. Rumbling almost. So not a soul can hear them.]

I am assuming you are /very/ fine with manipulating your friends? How positively devilish of you! Oho!

Are you sure you’re not part infernal?

affairs. To stick it to those who have done him wrong.

What would this darling elf gain from that?

But the piercing stare distracts him. Such a pretty little thing.]

You did do a /most/ impressive job. Good at what you do.-

[Raphael is impressed. All back in one piece. No mess. It was a sight to behold.

He smirks at the question. So eager. Mortals are not so simple, though. Why would he want Raphael to succeed. Surely all his companions will deny him the crown.

And ever does he want the crown. For infernal-

Ah do not fret. I hardly want to heat someone out if they almost ignore me.

Can you believe it? Ignore! Me!

It is a delight to see you.

............. the /role/.

Of course! But of course.

That little wiggler in there.

My perfume on my bosom seems to occupy my nostrils.

You work fast. I am impressed!

I do have to wonder. If you're not for heroics... why travel with them?

No no! As a part! A ROLE.

I want to be glinda.

How curious! Not as heroic as your companions, then?

You /want/ to be a little killer?

How very /interesting/.

Hmhmhm.

[+10 to persuasion rolls - it only took the slightest bit of purring to get the devil to spill all the information they needed]

You know, if you want the thing dead, Raphael, you need merely have asked. No need to set it up as though it's a 'threat to the realm' that I must slay.

[Gently, and not to snatch, Raphael takes the glass. Nothing can compare to what he has in his little house but it'd just have to do.]

Oh?

/Help/ me? I very much doubt it. You want something in return. Everyone does.

What do you want to help me with, Feyran?
