The familiar jingle of the ice cream truck drew Llujah to it like a magnet. The small colorful truck paraded it's way through the small park, attracting all manner of children, young and old, to indulge in it's cold treasure trove of sweets. After much persuasion and making of puppy-dog eyes, Llujah had persuaded Belinda to buy an orange-cream ice cream bar for him to cool him down. It was boiling hot on this summer day, and even Belinda had to agree that the ice cream truck could not have come at a better time. She went off to the crowd of small children and their parents swarming the small truck and left Llujah sitting at a close distance on the park bench.
Llu sat impatiently on the wooden bench, simultaneously tapping his foot, wiggling his tail, and twiddling his thumbs in wait for his frozen dairy treat. As he twitched and fidgeted, he took a look at his surroundings. The park was filled with bustling activity. Various people walked about, minding their own businesses. Nothing was very interesting or out of the ordinary...

If he was looking for something out of the ordinary that Llujah was looking for someone fitting that description came walking by along aside a regular human. They were talking quietly, the white haired one making a deal with the man for a rather interesting memory that he sense within him that he wanted. The blue tipped wings of the spawn gave a flutter before he turned for a moment to look toward where Llujah stood as though he were sensing another like himself. He looked Llujah over and easily spotted the details that told him what DNA the child was born from before he smiled.
His gaze was then back on the human as he motioned for him to follow after him, moving over toward a nearby bench that was nearby and hidden from direct view by the long branches of a weeping willow that fell toward the ground like a protective curtain. It was the best place to make a trade as it protected him and the one he was making the deal with from view, it was a suggestion given to him by another he'd met in the park some time ago. That he shouldn't just stand in the open as it put him in danger.
"Come and sit, concentrate very hard on the memory we agreed upon, and once I take it the wish you asked for will be granted." He said with a smile, patting the bench next to him as he settled down on it. The man looked him over before nodding and sat down next to him, "Good, good. Now, close your eyes and concentrate."

A flock of white hair caught Llujah's eyes as he scanned the park surroundings for anything remotely of interest. Nearby sat a man, definitely older than Llu, talking to another man. This other man seemed as normal as normal could be, and thus was of no interest to Llu. His eyes were locked on the man with the white hair and the small wings. The man looked like no one Llujah had ever seen before, and he seemed somewhat cautious to be out in the wide open area of the park. All of these things were intriguing, and the Greed spawn wanted to know more.
Llu looked over to where the ice cream truck stood, and he saw that the line was still long and his guardian was still waiting. That would gain him some time. As stealthily as he could, Llu stood up from the bench and sidled his way over to a tree nearby the two men. The white-haired one was saying something odd that Llujah could not quite pick up. Something about a... wish? Wishes? Perhaps this man was a genie of sorts! Llu made his way a little closer to the bench where the men sat and watched. If that normal, boring man could get a wish, why couldn't he get a wish, too?

A golden pen was removed from behind Luthor's ear and he lifted it up, leaving it so that it was floating above the two of them before his hands lifted up to hover at either side of the man's head. Both men were engulfed in a glimmering purple light and there were a moment where nothing seemed to happen. Concentration was in order from both of them and when they were both able to attain that needed level there was a flash that left a glimmering blue gemstone floating in the air that Luthor reached up to grab hold of. He looked it over before his lips turned up into a smile, "The contract is now made."
The golden pen that had been hovering, doing nothing at the time, sprung into action as a sheet of paper appeared next to it. It wrote down the deal made between the two of them, the payment, and then the paper shattered and vanished. Luthor rose to his feet and moved away from the man as a small bag with cash in it appeared in the man's lap. As he left his pen followed him, tucking itself back into his hair, "Humans really are simple creatures." Ready to sacrifice even the most beautiful of things for money, fools.
As he headed away from his customer Luthor was brought to walk right passed the hidden Greed child though if it were accidental or on purpose it was hard to tell.

Llujah watched the mystical events unfolding in awe. What kind of person was this white-haired man? He seemed mysterious and weird, but... The main thing that Llu noticed was that the man was pretty. It felt odd to think that about an older man, but it was true and Llu was entranced. His eyes locked firmly on the golden pen that the white-haired man possessed and Llu felt a strong urge to obtain a pen like that, if not that pen. It was just so enticing.
The other boring man got up and walked away with a small bundle of money that had appeared and the white-haired man began to walk away as well. The only difference was that the white-haired man was walking in Llu's direction. The Greed spawn's eyes widened and he shrunk back behind the tree out of fear of being seen when he felt a desire to speak to the man. Out of an impulse, Llujah jumped out from behind the tree and stood in front of the white-haired man, wings twitching. A smile was plastered on Llu's face as he spoke loudly. "You're pretty!"

Luthor looked down at Llujah as he suddenly jumped out of his hiding spot and he gave the boy a smile, his wings giving flapping behind him before he responded, "Thank you." He murmured, he couldn't say that he got compliments often where he lived aside from when it came to that perv of a doctor but he didn't count since he hit on everyone that had a pulse and was over a certain age, "Its very kind of you to say."
He lifted his hands up so that he could deposit the blue crystal into the pouch that hung around his neck before he held a hand out to the boy in front of him, "My name is Luthor Gamaliel, do you have a name, little spawn?" He asked of him.

Llujah smiled happily and flapped his wings at the white-haired man's reply. He nodded. "Mmhmm. You're welcome." He giggled and swished his tail back and forth. "It's polite, y'know? Plus, it's true! I want white hair like yours! My mama has white hair, but not like yours." Llu nodded and looked over to the ice cream truck. The line had shortened, but Belinda was still a long ways away from retrieving the ice cream. That gave Llu more time to talk to the pretty man.
Llu watched the mysterious blue crystal intently, then shook his head and smiled at Luthor. He grabbed the man's hand and shook it jubilantly. "My name is Llujah Malikov!"

Luthor couldn't help but to smile a little bit, finding it to be rather... cute that the boy was so enthusiastic about something as simple as hair color. He found himself for a moment wondering if he'd ever been so sweet and innocent himself, unlikely given where he'd grown up. He found himself a touch envious of the boy who seemed to be so sweet and a bit naive, "Your hair is quite pretty how it is." He told him, not exactly the way to be granting wishes since he could have easily offered to give the boy white hair 'for a price' but a part of him felt a little guilty even considering the idea... though a memory from someone so innocent would be a wonderful addition to his collection.
The white haired spawn was drawn out of his musing when Llujah took his hand and shook it in a very enthusiastic fashion, "Its nice to meet you then, Llujah." He said, giving him a smile before looking in the direction of the truck he seemed to be watching intently, "Waiting on ice cream?" He guessed.
