Thread: Accidental Bonds(ryax/lady)

I see your point. The others can indeed be quite uptight when it comes to my celebrations., Lucifer replied with a smile towards his friend. As they had sat themselves down, the Lords bringing their respective child for marriage to the dinner table this night. Lucifer quickly gazed over his guests, smiling warmly as he did so. He didn't let himself be taken in by Thorne's beauty this time, but rather glanced his eyes over her as anyone else for the time being. Even though she was a beautiful sight indeed, the feelings and overall repulsion towards himself being married took the overhand in this mind game. As Lucifer sat on his throne, anyone could see his current garments. They were largely the same as always, as almost per every banquet he had held. Dressed in a lightly shimmering red coat, carefully buttoned up over to his upper chest, where his fair skin was exposed. The coat's collar was stale, pictured like a crescent moon up and behind his neck. Despite what the Lord's had peaked and pushed him to wear for legs, he never swayed from wearing a pair of black as night jeans along with a pair of black, stylish, quite ordinary suit shoes. Lucifer could feel Lucien's stare at his side, and when everyone had taken their seats to indulge in the feast served before them, he turned his head to face his stare with his own. Of course., he replied simply, his warm smile not wavering. A beautiful voice struck his ears, as expected, but what really caught his attention was the unexpected, apparent and pure innocence echoing within it. It was clearly noted, the light lack of proper respect against himself, which he let slide without effort as every other appearance was quite alluring to him. Lucifer was once again swayed by the overall appearance of Thorne, but didn't let it show more then a split moments pause for his reply, Thank you, Thorne. Please, make yourself comfortable and treat yourself to anything on the table., his voice as always during these types of celebration, warm and sweet. He returned his attention towards his table, helping himself to a light portion of the food placed upon it. During the dinner, entertainment was provided in the form of acrobatics and acting. As he ate his share, he couldn't help but to glance over Thorne in his mind, analyzing the situation of her being Lust's daughter. Lucifer had never seen Thorne before, but simply knowing that she's Lucien's daughter inspired one to simply think of her a whore of hell, as her powers and wanton lust would be of a straight inheritance from her father. However, this seemed to not be the case. The innocence in her way and her voice indicated that Thorne was nothing short of a virgin. It felt like an impossible feat, but Lucien is a crafty Lord, sporting an intelligence higher then any of the others. It may very well be that Lucien had kept his daughter isolated, sheltered from most of the entirety of hell. This fact bothered Lucifer much, as innocence and virginity was something fiercely rare in the domains of hell, and Lucien must have gone to great lengths to keep her this way, only to expose her to everything, to him, at the point of marriage. The way that Thorne acted was no mere thing to scoff at either, Lucifer's interests peaked dangerously again and again towards her. It was obvious Lucien had a malevolent plan in store. After a while, Lucifer shook his thoughts away and shielded himself once more, for the time being, enjoying the company at the table and listening to the joyful murmur of his minions. After a while, it became apparent that no more food was being consumed, everyone was full say for his Lord of Gluttony, who was never satisfied with the bounties presented and not presented. Lucifer clapped his hands three times, the doors to the ball room immediately springing open, his servants marching obediently into the room just as they did before, but instead they swiftly cleaned the tables from any plate or dish on them. Lucifer rose, again with the same smile coating his lips as he addressed his attendees, a demanding silence and attention fell again over the masses, I hope that the food provided was satisfactory, but now, it's time for dancing.. Lucifer paused briefly, only to shortly continue, There is a problem however. As is customary, the banquet host, me, must open with the first dance before any else can step up. However, this year around, I haven't had the fortune of having a first dance partner predetermined., he paused briefly, a light but sly smile adorning his lips now as he continued, This invitation is open for anyone. Will anyone care to be my dance partner?, he ended blatantly, the first open invitation ever since the start of his reign.
