Hotei felt like he was breathing in a breath of fresh air when he felt Lila’s aura leave, visibly relaxing fully. Most of the exaggerated visual attractiveness had been toned down a bit, but Hotei didn’t feel as if he liked her any less. Minus the false effects from her powers. This must have meant that they had at least tied at the game, and that Hotei’s guess was right.
He stood up straight and crossed his arms casually as Lila made her way around him, his eyes following her all the while (as much as he could without moving his head too much). His grin softened to a faint smile. “Eh, something like that. Or a board calling your kind out on your tricks just outside.” the demon added with a small snort. As troublesome as the rain was, at least it made things memorable.
The redhead watched the other put her hair up before starting to explain his idea. “To be honest, at first I contemplated us competing for the affections of someone else, but I don’t see anyone in this hallway immediately.” He started, walking backwards to lean against the wall in thought. “Plus that is a bit cruel to the person, even if we tell them about it. Of course we could still do that if we find someone willing to go along with it.”
Even though he was a demon, and a powerful one at that, he had standards. He’d only purposely torture those back in hell; after all, they did go there for a reason. He also had no reason to make an enemy of someone he’d likely spend more time with in the future as a classmate or possibly even roommate.
Hotei had been staring at the ground with his hand thoughtfully on his chin as he said the first part, but his eyes calmly rose back to Lila. “Or we could continue where we left off just a moment ago, where I believe I gave you a rather well-thought compliment?” He raised his eyebrows at that, recalling how quickly he had switched his confused mumbling to the sly comment. “The loser is the first to look like a tomato. The catch for both options? You can’t use your powers. It’s still playing into your practice though, so technically you’re at better odds than myself.” Now there was an almost expectant look on his face. “You tell me your name if I win, and if you take the place then I’ll tell you both mine and
what I am. Unless you’ve already figured that out?”
Finishing with that question, Hotei lifted a foot to kick off the wall gently to stand up straight in front of the Valentin. “The stakes are a bit low, so I’d understand if you don’t want to take part. I just thought it’d be a fun icebreaker, and a little game on my terms is the least you could do after
that.” His mischievous grin was back.
