He was drawn out of his fantasy only by the sound of the door, and even as he went to open it, wondered if his fantasy would be waiting for him outside the door.
A certain look of dissapointment crossed his face as he realised it was Raven and someone else. The look turned to confusion as he wondered why she was here. Last he had known, she was taking a break from him, to now find her on his door was the last thing he had expected.
"How was your trip?"
He greeted her

She raised an eyebrow at his previous look, even asking, "Were you expecting someone else to show up?"
Her expression changed when his did. "The trip was fine. Even brought you a little present." She said the last with a smile.
"Now are you going to continue blocking the way or will I have to persuade you to move?"
Zaro just stood there, barely lifting her maroon gaze up to them. It was simple etiquite with slavery....for her anyway. Her wings fluttered a little before they settled down and she smoothed the small skirt to her dress out.
Unlike Andras, she had no choice to slavery.

"Uhh.."
He thought about her question, then smiled disarmingly.
"No, just suprised to have you here, not that that's bad"
He assured her before getting curious, both at her words and at the girl behind her. He generally got told off for hitting on her friends and for her to bring one over to his place...
"Yeah, of course, come in"
He almost absentmindly mumbled, taking a step away from the door to let them in, wondering what present she had meant and mentally undressing the little clothing the girl had on.

She smiled sweetly. Him pouting before told her he'd been fantasizing and she'd spoiled it by not being the one in the fantasy... or so she thought. She motioned for Zaro to follow her as she stepped inside.
Zaro shuffled along behind, bowing before Joe before following Raven inside.
Raven settled herself down onto a couch, smiling at Joe.
"I take it no one figured I'd return? It's only been a few months."

He blinked when the girl bowed to him, but figured it was just the way she was and didn't pay it any more attention.
He shut the door after them, following them into the loungeroom and finding his seat again before answering Raven.
"I had hoped you'd come back, but no, we weren't counting on you coming back quite that soon"

She shrugged.
"I wasn't finding what I was looking for. No one really survived or if any others did, they haven't returned."
Her gaze drifted to Zaro then.
"Except for her. She was the only thing I could find alive and well if a little lost."
Zaro, standing near the couch, fussed a little with her necklace and bangle. Raven had taken the shackles off so they wouldn't apprehend her movement.

"Ah"
There wasn't really much he could say, he hadn't lost his entire heritage to a war after all.
Curiosity got the better of him when she mentioned the girl standing there looking lost.
"You find a survivor and bring her here?"
He asked, unsure of why Raven would do such a thing, especially given that she knew him to enjoy new lustful encounters.
"So who are you?"
He asked the girl, figuring her demenor to come from realising she was one of two survivors of an entire empire.

Raven blinked. "My place already has a slave and one's enough for me to deal with whilst dealing with our daughter. Why bring another in? What use would she be to me?"
She simply asked. She didn't trust herself with another slave in the house...Going back to Melnibone brought with it a few of her heritage's traits and some of them weren't pleasant.
Zarozina glanced up to Joe, meeting his gaze.
"Zarozina, sir."
She was apparently quiet, given she didn't know this man but she was also calm for a bird.

He had been about to pronounce her name and compliment her on it when he heared Raven's explanation as to who she was and looked at Raven with wide eyes.
"You've.. brought a slave.. here?"
He asked, before turning back to Zaro, this one, he didn't believe.
"You're a slave?"

Zaro nodded her head.
"Yes sir."
Raven chuckled at his wide eyes. Apparently she could still surprise him with an ace or two.
"Apparently she had a nicer dragon lord. Most I've known never took this good of care of their slaves."
Zaro looked up at him. "Something is wrong with my position?"
Her voice was soft, sounding more loike a young girl then the woman that was before him.

He shrugged, he'd briefly had the conversation of slaves come up with Arioch about the same time as Arioch found out he was completly usless at etique.
"Looked at Alexis' feed lately?"
He asked. Andras was one who was well looked after, always had been, and he knew his daughter certainly didn't mistreat the dragon.
Zaro's voice made him stop and look at her, showing suprise.
"You're in a position to ask that?"
He turned back to Raven.
"Raven, is this some sort of joke? You're bringing a half dressed girl into my house and tell me she's a slave, did you loose your mind whilst you were away?

She laughed when he asked her if she lost her mind.
"Yea I lost my mind the day I met you." She grinned, teasing him. No she hadn't lost her mind. At least she didn't think so.
"However, Andras has never been to Melnibone. Zaro was from there, like myself. Melnibone is crueler then wherever Andras might have come from."
Okay so she was guessing at the dragon's past but she was sure the dragon was never around Melnibone.
Zaro just gave a small smile. "I've had a few weeks to break a few habits."
Raven giggled. "And she is fully clothed, Joe. Or did you not know dresses could be so short? But yes, Joe dear, she is a slave. She was in shackles when I discovered her."

His confusion melted as she grinned at him, turning into a smile. If she lost her mind the day she met him, then she wouldn't mind him loving her today.
"Right.. I forgot.. nasty place"
He responded to her explanation of Melibone. Once in a while, he saw what the place was like in Raven, though seldom, far more often in Arioch's eyes and was always reminded that he could get away with murder around the demon. Being incubus had its advantages sometimes.
An amused smile showed on his face as Raven pointed out that girls could have short dressed.
"Domina wears a shorter one, I'd call her half dressed too.."
He pointed out, his mind once again imagining her infront of him, though the moment passed somewhat faster than before, somehow, the image of Zaro in shackles didn't sit right with him.
"She's teaching you manners, nice.. "
He pointed out to Zaro at her telling him that she had time to break habits.
"Did she manage to tell you who I am too? Or is this the mystery part where I get to wonder why I have a slave at my place?"

Raven shot him a look that clearly told him she wasn't there to talk about Domenia. It cleared to a gentler expression.
Zaro blinked. "I've always had manners..." She seemed confused with that comment. Was she not to have manners?
"I didn't tell her what you were like... where would the fun be in that?" Raven looked at him innocently with a little pout.
"Besides..I thought she'd make a better gift to you then a bunch of rubble." Which was how Melnibone appeared...nothing but fallen stone and dreams.

"Not what I meant.. "
He mumbled towards Zaro, listening intently to Raven, before grinning like a little boy who's just been given a huge ice cream.
Acting on that instinct, he got up and knelt infront of her seat, more to be at her sitting height than any other reason, and leant in to steal a kiss.
"You're adorable, thank you"
