A small smile crossed his face at Arioch's humour. Yes, asking for a map was a huge inconvenience, though at times where such would be necessary, the map was usually provided.
"it is an unusal place, Sir"
He admitted in response to the question. It was too early to make a judgement on the place, he had not seen all of it nor met everyone who lived there. The ones he had met, he had liked, even though the little girl had disturbed him with her innocence.

"Unusual puts it mildly." He said, that ever present smile on his face. He kept telling himself he was engaged and touching anyone else...well he really didn't want to see Song upset. He'd had his share of tempermental women and Song was a breath of fresh air...His air.

"Sir?"
He asked, hoping Arioch would expand on what he had just said. If there was something about the house or its occupants that would classify as weird, he wanted to know in advance, but it was not his place to ask outrightly if there was anyone he needed to know about in the house.

Arioch just smiled. "Oh nothing. Just my casual babbling."
He waved it off as though it were nothing. For this demon, it was nothing.

"of course, Sir"
He had not expected Arioch to fill him in, but had still hoped. One thing he knew about this place for sure, people offered very little information freely.
He looked around the room then, taking his focus off Arioch and learning where what went in the room itself before moving towards the door, only turning to face Arioch once again as he got to the door.
He bowed gracefully again before speaking.
"with your leave, Sir, I would like to continue exploring the house"

Arioch just smiled. "Of course."
He waved him off. It had been a long while since he had any servants or slaves to dismiss.

Before Andras had a chance to exit the room, Joe saundered in, only to stop right infront of Andras and frown.
The guy wasn't supposed to be here, Joe had been on his way to see Arioch, to have a demon to demon talk, not to get stuck almost walking into whatshisface.
"Move"
He advised Andras moodily.
Thus, with Arioch's leave, Andras turned around to leave the room, only to almost walk into his boss, freezing a foot before he did.
To his credit, he did what he was asked, and moved a few steps out of Joe's way without hesitating.
Of course, now he was back in the living room without any real way of getting out, given that Joe was standing in his way.
There was of course, the other dilema of not showing Joe any respect. Joe had made it explicitly clear that he was not to do so, leaving him with a dillema. Over-ride the instructions his boss gave him thus hiding his true masters identity, or get Arioch suspicious.
He weighted the two options against each other standing frozen in place as he did so.

Arioch watched this a little amused. Was Joe getting aggrivated by one male? Why? He scuttled over to Joe's side and tugged him to the side, now actually ignoring the fact Andras' presence was there. Old habits died hard.
"You have something against him?" He murmured lowly to his friend.

"Besides the way he looks, no"
It was a clear admission on his part. Yes, he had employed Andras for Alexis and it had taken a long time to find such a being, let alone one who could be brought, for her showing that he spoiled his daughter rotten.
The fact that he brought him for his daughter also meant that he wasn't going to get with him, and to the incubus, that caused problems.
"Covering up when he's not around her wouldn't harm him one bit"
His voice showed his annoyance at Andras along with the sexual frustration.

Arioch lifted a slender brow. "You'd lust after him even if he was covered up. Not that I blame you...He's attracting.."
He gave a mild shrug.
Raven entered the house, key in hands and a bag of snacks in her arm. It was basic female cravings on her part: Chocolate, mint, and something salty. She was going to cut through the living room to get to the kitchen. She started too before noticing the men just standing there, especially the lacking in the clothing department one...
"Uh....am I missing something here?" She asked, looking between the gentlemen, though eyeing Joe a little more.
Alexis scuttled from her room, now clothed in an off the shoulder top in white and a pair of jeans with worn through holes in the knees. otherwise she was barefoot and wasn't really dressed to go anywhere.
She padded for the living room, half looking for Andras, and half just to get out of her room. She had no idea of what she was about to encounter in the living room.

He nodded in agreement with Arioch. His friend knew him well.
The suprise he felt when Raven walked in was quickly covered as he walked over to her, and planted a mischivious kiss on her cheek.
"No.. you're seeing exactly what's happening"
He assured her, gazing longingly at her. She was currently providing a much needed distraction for his thoughts.
Andras meanwhile, was still standing there, frozen, trying his best not to be noticed by the woman.

Raven smiled sweetly and knew Joe's games. "So explain the new comer Joe love."
Arioch chuckled softly. He was enjoying this little show.

"That's whatshisname.. ******** looked over at Andras, his eyes showing a buildup of frustration.
"Tell her your name already, will you?"
He demanded impatiently, before returning his attention to Raven, running a hand through her hair as he did so.
The moment Raven enquired about him, he knew he had failed at making himself invisible. Maybe, with a lot of practice and some magic, he'd be able to become invincible someday.
"it is Andras, Ma'am"
With the grace that was natural to the dragon, he bowed to Raven

Raven flashed Joe her teasing smile. She loved Jay yet she couldn't help but melt with Joe's touch. The damn incubus...she thought before she leaned into her friend.
She turned her red gaze to Andras, hearing Joe's little protest. "I'm assuming Joe's the one who brought you here?" She didn't get the idea of why he was there...Random visitors didn't seem Joe...or her or Arioch.
Arioch hid his grin behind his wing. It was safer that way.
Alexis entered the room and immediately felt the tension in the air. She blinked her seemingly innocent lilac eyes. "Did I just step into world war 3?"

"yes Ma'am, he did"
Andras confirmed.
He smiled as he realised how much hold he still had over Raven, hopefully, it was enough for her to deal with Andras' existance, especially after the boy kindly gave away that it was none other than Joe who brought him here.
"Don't worry, he's not my feed"
He whispered seductivly in her ear, just as Alexis entered the room.
Looking at her, he once again realised how much she resembled her mother and felt a.. something akin to guilt for not being able to tell her who her mother was.
"Would I let you step into World War 3?"
He asked his daughter, smiling at her.
