Welcome to Gaia! ::

She grinned at the mention of a noose, and once again had to resist the strong urge to laugh. Trying or not, he was a very humorous individual. Frankly that just made this little plan all the more appealing to the djinn.

Tapping paint nails upon her shins she did her best to appear sincere. It wasn't honestly all that hard for her, considering lying just wasn't something she ever made a habit. "Nothings in it for me," she countered, smiling. "Not really. One day I might call upon you for a tiny little favor, though." Thumb and forefinger moved to pinch the air for effect.

"I can't think of anything I would want though, so you may not have to do anything at all."

She'd honestly not expected him to agree at all, and certainly not so easily. It mad her sit up a little straighter, hands folding in her lap as she regarded him with slightly wider eyes. "Excellent." The grin that followed was perhaps a touch on the smug side, but was hopefully only recognizable by those that knew her decently well.

Raising to her feet, she smoothed dark palms along her hips to brush away any wrinkles of her skirt. Stepping forward with Soen bounding up to circle her heels. "Yes I am." Even knowing what she was going to do, he'd still agreed. It made her wonder if he was just that unmoved, or ignorant to the implications. She honestly couldn't tell.

There was a tiny little part of her that insisted that she should ask him if he was sure, but she quickly snuffed it out. She'd never given a mark before, and she'd always wanted too. Besides, this was power, not just over your average servant race, but of another demon. She liked power.. Licking her lower lip, she folded her arms around her torso, looking up at him. "Anywhere in particular you'd like it to be placed?"

She gave the softest of amused chuckles at his preferense for location and the reason behind said careful placement. So he didn't want anyone to see it? There was something very satisfying about that, but she wasn't sure what exactly brought about that feeling. Perhaps having another demon effectively at her beck and call, leashed.

As he sat Soen ran over to jump up beside him sitting with his thick tail curled around his tiny feet. "The back it is." Stepping closer, she held her right hand out to him, ready to seal the deal.

"So we have an accord. I'll train your pets to properly obey and behave, and you'll pay me a favor at a later date when I find something suited to your skills." Did he realize that an open ended deal could last indefinitely, or that she could make him do -literally- anything? Obviously not. "Deal?"

That wonderfully of character squeak, crack, whatever it had been to his voice was almost too much. She took her hand back, pressing fingertips firmly over her lips as he agreed to their deal then turned about and began to stripe off his shirt. Partially strip off his shirt.. What a shame, from the look of that one exposed shoulder she could guess that the rest looked quite nice just as bare. Of course now she was getting distracted.

"Patience my friend. All good things, you know." Stepping forward, she rested one hand on the opposite shoulder and leaned over him. The tip of one finger touching bare skin, resting there for only a second as she focused, then traced a swirling sort of design along the back of his shoulder. A sizzling sort of noise followed as the mark bloomed along the other demons pale skin. An intricate flourish of blue henna markings in the shape of a drop.

The mark, though blue now, would darken into a brown bordering on black in time. Ar at least she assumed it would. The marks she'd seen so far(which weren't many, mind you) had all been black, though they did flare in colors when activated. Her tutor, back home, had a mark. Come to think of it, that was probably how the monster had come to work for her parents. Hmm.

She gave his shoulder a pat at his question, chuckling softly. "Yes, that's it." Had he been expecting something on a grander scale? Fire, smoke, or pin perhaps? Well, she could appreciate that. Demon marks were important things, after all, and generally things of such importance were accompanied with larger, more apparent effects. It was a little disappointing, all things considered. Though seeing the avarice demon practically jump back to his feet to hastily cover himself once again made up for it.

As he turned to face her, coughing into his hand, she smiled up at him. A lovely little up tilt of dark lips that was only marginally amused. "I suppose I could start immediately." Lips pursed, she tilted her head in thought, rolling her eyes down to regard the remaining armassum still sitting beside them.
