Lucifer had realized the sudden attitude change, but kept his thoughts to himself. 'Not a problem." He replied, shifting his hands to his hips. "Look around all you want.. just becareful not to..." He began, pausing in mid-sentence. "...'Disturb' anyone."

She nodded. ' And where will you be?' She didn't really want to get lost. ' And, what do you mean by disturb? Who else is here?' She narrowed her eyes at Lucifer, suspecting he wasn't telling her everything. She placed her hands in her hips. She was still quite cold. She turned her face from him and sneezed. ' Excuse me..'

Lucifer turned his back to the woman. "I'm off to do my regular.. routines around here." He replied with a gentle smirk. "Oh, no one.. and bless you." He called to her, waving a hand through the air. "Like I said, feel fress to do what you wish, just don't to anything reckless... princess."

She looked up at the man. Was it that obvious? It must have been the great amount of money she had offered to pay him. ' Regular routines? ' She kicked her foot on the ground. ' Would you mind if I come along? If you do, that's alright.' She said, giving him a weak smile. Reckless?! What did he thnk she was, a barbarian? Well, okay maybe she wasn't the most proper princess, she had jumped out a window afterall, and hiered a mercenary to help her run away from home, but she did have some manors.

Lucifer took a few moments to think before giving her the heads up, sa ying it was alright for her to come along. "Yes, but once again, please do not be too careless..." He said aloud, turning around again to carry on towards one of the two curved staircases, curling up onto the upper most floor. One thing about the manor was that it was not entirelly empty. Dusty furniture full of webs from small critters remained on the items that decorated the castle.

' Thank you.' She replied with a smile. She followed behind Lucifer, gazing around the mysterious castle. She ran her finger along the hand rail of the staircase. It was quite dusty, again she sneezed. It was weird, the manor was quite warm, althought she still felt chilled. ' Bless me..' She said to herself.

"Bless you." He said aloud after she had "blessed" herself. "You know.. that is a bad habit for you to get into.." Lucifer said with a slight grin. "You.. do know why people say "bless you" when you sneeze, right?" He asked, pasuing for a moment and raising a brow. Apparently he was a very religious man...

Elizabeth stopped for a moment and then kept walking. ' N- no...' She stuttered. ' Why?...' Her family's preist had told her why, many times, but she had never really been listening to him. All she could recall was was that saying 'bless you' helped your soul somehow.

Lucifer chuckled, allowing his hand to trail along the cherrywood railing, this one, surprisingly, having no dust on it at all. His footsteps echoed throughout the manor's long, empty corridors. "When you sneeze, it is believed you are ridding the evil from your soul. When someone says bless you..." He paused, lifting his ghostly pale hand off the clean railing and running his fingers through his short ebony locks. "Well.. that's self-explanitory." He smiled, before going into it a bit deeper. "They're.. "blessing" you."

' Oh...' She tilted her head to the right slightly giving him a small smile. She felt a little embarrassed not knowing that. ' Well, thank you then Lucifer!' She said in a cheerful voice, one she hadn't spoken in... in quite a while. ' What exactally do you have to do?' She asked, curiously.

"...A few things.." He replied vaugly, wishing not to share the information. "Just... a few things.." He repeated himself before turning around a corner, his cheery expression seeming to fade.
Walking for a few moments in silence, Lucifer paused infront of one door, one what seemed to be particularily well kept, used often even. "Here we are.." He said lowly, placing his hand on the brass handle, twisting it to the right before pushing it open.

Elizabeth had slowed her pace after hearing his first reply. The corridor was quite interesting. She looked ahead of her seeing him open the door, she lightly jogged to catch up to him. She stood behind him, waiting for him to enter the room.

Passing through the doorframe faded from sunlight, Lucifer passed into a basically empty room, the white walls vibrant, the rustic floor swept clean. Directly across from the entrance sat a fireplace, the wood covered with a fresh snowfall. Despite the snow in the room, the four-walled area was actually.. quite warm. Without another word exchanged, the Cullen took a few steps towards a small alter. Kneeling down before it, he closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together. His lips began to move but no sound had emerged.

Elizabeth stood at the doorframe, and just watched Lucifer. A small smile over coming her lips. She didn't dare make a sound as he kneeled their and prayed. She noticed the drastic change in temperature, maybe now she wouldn't get sick.

The only thing that oculd be heard was the gentle flicking of his tounge as he pronounced the soundless words. He had not expected Elizabeth the pass through the door into his minature sanctuary, but she had no doubt.
Before he was done, Lucifer rose his right hand, creating a cross over his chest before kissing the pearl rosary in his hands. "..Amen." He whispered, tucking the beads into his pocket. His eyes awkwardly shifted to the right of his body as he had noticed Elizabeth standing in the doorway... Well.. at least she had some respect. A gentle flush came to his cheeks and was soon shaken off.
