Even with such statements, he remained tense , eye contact not breaking with her as he slowly nodded.
His expression showcased anger.
โ RIGHT ! SO whyyy the fuck are you showing yourself NOW ?โ
->
โI just remember the days when your broadcasts could hush an entire ring.โ
Her smile curved, quiet and dangerous.
โItโd be a shame if your rhythm faltered now.โ
โ
Rooโs expression softened into something almost fondโthough the sharpness beneath it never dulled.
โNo, Alastor. I expect nothing so trivial from you.โ
She took a slow step past him, eyes glinting as they caught the dim city glow.
->
A raised eyebrow of curiosity was shown on the deer's face when hearing those words.
โAre you expecting me to be some kind of messenger for you?โ
The thought of it made Alastor scowl underneath his breath and didn't appreciate the fact of doing such a thing to her.
->
โIโm not here for a deal. Iโm here because chaos ripples around you like a broken instrument, and I wanted to hear how out of tune youโve become.โ
A glance over her shoulder.
โConsider this aโฆ performance review.โ
โ
Rooโs patience thins into a faint, icy smirk.
โOh, Alastorโฆ spare me the dramatics. If I wanted to torment you, I wouldnโt waste time on your insecurities.โ
She turns slightly, as if already bored, shadows curling lazily at her heels.
->
its all the worse that he made the deal when he was still alive, before he even knew what an owned soul entailed. ]
I ask again, madame, is there anything I can do for you? or are you simply here to pester me?
โ
Roo stepped forward just enough for her silhouette to break the shadows, eyes glinting with something cold.
โRelax, Adam,โ she murmured, voice low and edged. โIโve been here longer than you think.โ
Her smile didnโt reach her eyes.

@EvilsEmbodiment
At first , he wasnโt completely aware that they were even present , but as it grew clearer. He gasped.
โ OH!- FUCK !โ When did you get here ! ??โ
->
She steps closer, fingers trailing idly along the edge of his staff.
โBut if you insist itโs still yours, darlingโฆ I wonโt ruin your delusion. . .โ
โ
Rooโs head tilts, just slightlyโlike a predator noticing the tremor beneath fur.
โMm. Is that so?โ
Her smile warms, but the shadows at her feet curl like theyโre laughing.
โFunnyโฆ your soul smells spoken for.โ
->
->
She came to a stop at his side, close enough for him to feel the shift in the air, her voice dropping to a low, dangerous murmur.
โJust make sure you can deliver them, Alastorโฆโ
A faint smile cut across her lips.
โโฆwithout tripping over your own static.โ
โ
Rooโs grin sharpened, eyes narrowing as she let her steps curve subtly around himโmeasured, predatory, testing the edges of his confidence without ever breaking her calm.
โChaos and conversationโฆโ
she echoed, almost a purr but edged like a blade.
โGenerous words.โ
->
A light swift movement of the staff between the radio demon's fingers places the staff behind their back with a gentle tapping against it.
โA combination of both sounds like a delightful idea. I am sure you can find both to keep you satisfied.โ
->
She stayed exactly where she wasโunmoved, unyieldingโand her faint smile held no warmth at all.
โIf you plan to test meโฆ know I donโt break easily.โ
โ
Roo went rigid beneath the touch, eyes narrowing with a cold, unwavering stare.
โCareful,โ
she said, tone clipped and unforgiving.
โCuriosity doesnโt grant you permission.โ
->
โ โ โ โ
Leaning in close , allowing a scant inch to remain between them.
โ And don't you worry dearest ... i know how to not get pricked by thorns. โ
โ โ โ โ
โ
The room hummed faintly with something old and unseen. Rooโs eyes fluttered open, shadows bending toward her as if greeting their maker. She exhaled slowly.
โโฆStill here, then.โ
