Almas was walking down the hallway in a manner that was a lot more determined then was normal for the angel. He had been spending a lot more time away from the Labs then was normal, working on a project of his own. He had been feeling rather... odd of late, his mind seeming to wander a lot. He felt that there were many things missing from his life that he hadn't noticed until after his run in with Ebony. Her kind words had gotten his mind working, got him thinking.
There was a soft clinking sound from the bag hanging from a strap on his shoulder, the sound of glass rattling around. He had done... a lot to get a hold of what he had in his possession. A lot of wheeling and dealing... and facing one of his brothers that he hadn't wanted to be anywhere near. On top of everything else he had two fresh scars on his form making where his small cut off wings used to be.
He was heading not to the Labs with his special prizes but instead to a place that was more important to him. To the office of his Boss and the one that he cared most for despite the foolishness of the feelings... he lifted a hand to knock on the door before stepping into the office, "Mr Vampy, can I have a moment of your time?" He asked in a rather formal manner.

The man had been lounging in his leather bound chair. Though looking relaxed Mr. Vampy was staring at the photograph on his desk, he looked deep in thought, and he had smiled quite a bit when he thought back to something. He had been in the process of picking up the photograph when he heard the knock.
"Come in." He murmured in reply as he left the steel frame where it was and leaned back in his chair. His golden eyes were staring intentely at the door as he awaited for Almas...his dear little pawn to enter his room. He went back to retrieving his the photo and was looking at it almost in scrutinty while he awaited for the fallen to come before him.

Almas slipped into the room, looking at the man who was sitting behind the desk and he drew in a breath to try to steady himself and his resolve. He was... an imposing force if one really knew him. He gave a little smile before he closed the door and walked over to take a seat in front of the desk and set the bag down on his lap. He ran his hands over the leather of the case. It was cool to the touch, to keep what was inside fresh and viable.
He chewed on his lip for a moment in thought before saying, "I have been... busy lately, procuring some things that I thought might help out the company." He said finally, looking up at his boss awaiting his reaction to the words before he continued.

At first it was as if the man was simply ignoring the fallen, as he continued to stare at the photo before finally moving to place it back where he had retrieved it from. His golden gaze moved to fixate on Almas as he then leaned forwards on his elbows resting his chin with his hands.
"You are acting rather professional.." He murmured first as if what Almas has just announced was not his primary interest at the moment. His gaze was a bit peircing as he searched over the angel a moment before his gaze lit upon the bag in his lap.
"You know you don't have to be so formal around me Almas....you have known me the longest here after all." He nearly purred as if he could already tell that something interesting was going to occur.
"Now.." the seat creaked as he went to lay back against it, a small whisp of his aura trailed from his body, it was easy to tell with a trained eye that the man was excited. "You saw you have...procured something to benifit the company?"

Almas shifted a bit uncomfortably, finding himself suddenly wanting nothing more then to scratch his original plan and hand the bag in his lap over to Vampy if for no other reason then in hopes of pleasing him. He gave a little smile, "Yes... well when ones is trying to be business like its important to remain responsible." He said finally when he got his resolve together again.
"So... I don't want to be Almas the Secretary today, I am this to be a business meeting not a conversation if that is alright." He said with a smile. He lifted the bag up and set to unzipping the bag.

Those golden eyes followed every movement of the fallens before locking onto the bag. Shaking the hair out of his eye's he moved forward again like a child quietly trying to restrain his curiousity and excitement.
"You will force me to make this a formal business meeting then won't you?" He responded sounding a bit more business like than he had before.
"Please let me remind you, that you are currently under contract..." He continued though his gaze continued to be locked on Almas's hands,
"Though I am unsure what you could present to me, that can alter or change it.." He murmured.

"I know that I am under contract but I have fufilled all requested of me to be allowed to be where I am today." He said before he dug into the bag to take out the first vial and held it up to be seen.
"This is the first thing that I am bringing to the table." He told his Boss, giving a bit of a smile as he looked it over rolling a shoulder and fetch the stretch of the marking on his back, "I had to deal with one of my more... zealous 'brothers' to get this. Not someone I ever wanted to see again but... one needs to put their all into their work."
"Now, for this vial all I am going to ask for is the answer to one question." He said.

Another wisp of aura escaped the man's body as his eyes trailed after and then locked onto the vial held in Almas's hand. His pupils dialated somewhat as if a sign of surprise before he wrenched his gaze from the vial back to the fallen.
"A..brothers blood..?" He murmured the smile on his face was unmistakeably grim and pleased at the same time. "Which of your dear brothers may it be my dear Almas?" He murmured preening forward giving the angel a toothed smile though his eyes narrowed slightly at the demand. It seemed harmless enough, though questions were dangerous things.
"A question? May I inquire what it is before writing up this contract?" He murmured as he knew once bound he would be forced to answer all questions honestly.

"One that demanded great payment of me, his name is Ashtad and he is the Angel of Justice." He lowered the vial back into his bag to keep it safe and sound not wanting for it to harmed, "As for the question its one that has been nagging me of late but I will ask it only if you agree to answer it honestly in exchange for this vial."
He reached into the bag and dug out another vial, "Now this one was actually a bit easier to get given... I amused this demon. After all having someone who was once an angel committing the sin he is in charge of..." He gave a shrug of his shoulders. He had no idea if Vampy knew everything he'd done for the company or about the lives he'd taken when someone had dared to try to harm one of the most gentle of the angels.
"This one and a sister vial from another demoness who's power I also know well will be traded to you for something of similiar and equal value."

It was very hard for the man to sit there idly as such prizes were being brought before him. The blood of the angel of justice...plus he had two other vials one he was thinking must of been a demon of revenge...as well depair..
"you put yourself at great risk aquiring these...and you know me too well...what is it you wish to trade for those two vials?" He asked another flickering wisp of his aura seeming to slip from his guise. Though he had potential to be dangerous the aura seemed nearly whimsical in nature. If it weren't for the ever bearing feeling of dread it brought with it it could of been considered pretty even.
"As to your first proposition I will consider it, and I will give you my reply once you are done detailing everything else you require."

Almas paused, looking a little surprised at those words... did Vampy care about his well being he wondered for a moment before shaking his head rapidly to clear his head as he replaced the vials into the bag before holding up the final one, "What the other two are being traded in for tie into what I want for this one."
He drew in a deep breath before he looked into the vial and gave a smile, "This is from the Angel of Hope." He murmured before he looked over at Vampy, "Now, my desires are simple enough. For the two vials of demon blood I want a single vial of blood from another demon." He looked pointedly at Vampy.

The man looked to Almas in a curious manner, though he wasn't sure what Almas was plotting he was finding it all very unusual. The fallen was usually very...obediant but now he was doing more than just doing as told. Like a bird with ruffeled feather the man leaned back in his chair, his gaze flickered from the last vial to Almas's request for the two demonic ones.
He was silent a long moment. His fingers idly tapping against each other while he thought, though his gaze was hard there was little about it comforting. "And to what means do you need this 'other' demons blood?" He murmured knowing full well how potentially dangerous demonic blood could be.

The fallen gave a smile, "I think it would be obvious given what the Labs are used for." He said, replacing the final vial back into the bag and closed it up, zipping it up to keep it all cold and safe. He looked up at Vampy, "Alright, should we start at the beginning then? With question that I want to ask of you and go from there Mr Vampy?"

He withheld the disgrunteled growl in the back of his throat, he knew better than anyone that you a good bargainer didn't whine or complain but you also didn't show weakness's. He leaned forward his body hunched over his table as a peice of paper appeared in the air before his head,
He was smiling again. "Indeed...down to business. Now...this contract is binding, though more of a trade than a firm contract I have my own ...stipulations for the use of my blood.." His eyes were glowing slightly the light in the room seemed to dim as well it was like the oxygen seemed to get very thin.
"I will agree to answer your question honestly in trade for the blood of Justice." He started speaking the gold pen in his breast pocket floated into the air and uncapped itself and began writing out the terms of the contrct.
"I will also trade my blood for the two vials containing Despair and Revenge, though I have my own terms in regards to this...it is a steep price to ask for my blood..." he continued his smile seemingly rather feral at the moment.

Almas nodded, "Alright, a trade is all I am looking for since I am already a part of a contract with you." He said, rubbing his fingertips over the top of the case in a thoughtful way, "Now, for my question and remember you said you would answer honestly."
He looked up at the demon in a very determined manner, "What am I to you?"
