    Alastor was simply watching the two with curiosity. His ears flicked and he wondered if they were talking about him as he couldn’t really make out what they were saying exactly. Though, he tried not to let it bother him and he watched them for a little longer before shifting his gaze to something else to merely look at for the time being and to keep himself occupied.


    Lilith intently listened to what her husband was telling her. ”So he is helping our daughter for his entertainment then?” Lilith inquired with Lucifer, then she simply continued to speak. ”Oh? You’ve already slept with him then I’m guessing, and that will be for me to decide on whether or not we get along, dear.” Lilith said, assuming that Lucifer and Alastor had already slept together at some point. She simply watched as Lucifer tried to hug her and she sighed before pulling him into a hug and she wrapped her arms around her dear husband.

    Lucifer's smile broadened as he received the hug back from his wife and it helped to ease some of his concerns. His tail flicked about in an excitable manner as he leaned back so he could gaze up at her.

    "Come, lets go and meet everyone. Our little girl has a few new friends here already. Oh! And be careful of Samson, he... doesn't see too good, so approach him from the front, never the back."

    Fortunately the spiny demon had been avoiding everyone since his arrival which made things easier. Moving to take her hand he then aimed to guide her towards Alastor and Rosie.

    Lilith slowly nodded her head at Lucifer, seeming curious to meet everyone and see the friends that her dear daughter had made. And her gaze seemed to be focused on Lucifer’s tail which flicked about excitedly. She lowered her arms once the hug was broken but she did willingly take Lucifer’s hand and held it with a firm grasp whilst she followed him over to Rosie and Alastor. It was true that she herself would be the judge on whether or not she gets along with Alastor. Though it did look like her husband was hoping that she would get along with the Wendigo. She trailed alongside Lucifer whilst he guided her to the couch.


    Alastor’s attention snapped over to Lucifer and Lilith when he caught sight of them coming over to the couch. He swallowed dryly and his ears constantly kept flicking in an anxious manner, knowing he should put on a good impression if he was to please Lilith and become acquainted with her and be on her good side. There was even a little small smile on his face as he did his best to stay calm.

    Rosie snapped her fan closed before she eased her way up the couch to make some extra space for the Queen, considering her overall size. Unlike Lucifer she didn't look capable of sneaking into any sort of tiny space. Politely she patted the space between herself and Alastor.

    "It is so good to meet you, Queen Lilith. I am Rosie, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

    She would say as she offered the woman the respect she deserved, which was quite the difference to how she had treated the King earlier.


    Lucifer offered Alastor a hopeful smile once he reached the couch with his wife, and once there he let go of her hand so she could seat herself with the other demons. He didn't mind standing for now, especially since he guessed that his wife would appreciate something to drink.

    "Are you wanting tea or coffee, my dearest?"

    Lilith's grasp on Lucifer's hand finally released upon approaching the couch. She was quite grateful that Rosie had made room for her on the couch so she promptly sat down right in between Alastor and Rosie as she wasn't like her husband who could just squeeze his way in for room. She was simply too tall to do so. But at least she was sitting down now, Lilith hated it when she was standing for too long. So she made herself comfortable on the couch, draping her left leg over her right leg in quite a ladylike manner kind of way. Then, her undivided attention was drawn towards Rosie when the other female began to speak to her. "Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you and make your acquaintance too." The queen spoke smoothly with a nod before turning her attention back to her husband. "Yes darling I want a tea. With lots of sugar and just a little bit of milk." Lilith nodded her head, liking her tea to be very sweet.


    Alastor looked at Lucifer, and he could only smile in return. His tail was as stiff as cardboard and his ears looked relaxed but really they felt rigid. He was keeping himself calm and he could only hope for the best to happen. His rigid ears flicked and he hoped that they could just start the advert soon or he hoped that Charlie and Vaggie or anyone really would come in here and then he could fully relax.

    Lucifer nodded his head before he looked to both Rosie and Alastor.

    "Can I get anything for either of you two?"

    He offered as he decided that he might as well ensure that everyone was tended to, and to give him an excuse to hide in the kitchen for a bit. Rosie was swift to request another tea and she handed the king her cup so it could be refilled, and she ensured to remind him about how she liked her drink. He accepted it from her before letting his focus linger upon the wendigo.

    A coffee would calm Alastor down. It should really keep him at ease and keep his nerves calm. ”I’ll just take a black coffee.” The Wendigo spoke to Lucifer whilst he willed his ears and tail to relax simultaneously. Yeah, he would just take a coffee and it should keep his nervousness at bay for now at least hopefully. Then Alastor kept quiet after speaking and he bit his inner cheek gently. It took a while but his ears and tail relaxed and he straightened up his posture which had almost been starting to slouch down lazily.

    Lucifer nodded before turning on his heel and hurrying towards the kitchen to tend to the drinks that everyone had requested. Meanwhile, Rosie decided to help break the ice between Alastor and Lilith, if anything to help the tension that she was sensing at that moment.

    "So, Lilith my dear, how have things been lately? It's one thing receiving the gossip between overlords, but quite another thing entirely when it comes to affairs of the royal families. I do hope the Princes have been behaving. That Prince Stolas is forever causing folk problems."

    Lilith waited for her husband to return with the drinks and in the meantime, she looked at Rosie. "I'm afraid Stolas never behaves, Rosie dear. It'd be a miracle if he started behaving himself. But the others have been behaving quite well thankfully." Lilith informed, clearly not liking Stolas and she wasn't fond of him. And she did seem to hope that he hadn't been invited here because he might make a fuss and all. And Lilith didn't need that happening. Besides, Stolas usually detered demons away so it'd be best if he wasn't in the advert to begin with, simply for the hotel's sake. And Alastor seemed to be quiet, just listening in on the conversation whilst waiting for Lucifer.

    "I suppose I shouldn't feel surprised by that. Though in his defence he does throw the best parties, I was graced with the opportunity to attend a few in the past. But at least the other Princes are keeping in line, even that snappy Bale."

    Rosie sighed softly before flicking her gaze over towards Alastor as she tried to urge him to get involved with the chat. She found it adorable that he was being so quiet, like a nervous child.

    "So Alastor, perhaps you would like to tell Lilith how her little girl is doing. I'm sure she is dying to know how she's getting along."

    Lilith only nodded her head towards Rosie but then her attention was drawn to Alastor, giving the quiet Wendigo a stare of ‘join in the conversation’ kind of look and her gaze was cold and hard, it almost made Alastor feel queasy. And he knew that Rosie was just trying to get him to talk and join in on the conversation. ”O-Oh yes. Well, Charlie is doing just fine and great, Lilith...” Alastor began to speak to Lilith about Charlie, hoping that this would make Lilith soften up to him at least a little bit. And indeed, the queen seemed to be softening up her gaze whilst Alastor talked good about her daughter and how she was doing.

    A soft humming sounded out as Lucifer finally made his return from the kitchen with a silver tray in his hands. He approached the couch and then balanced the tray in one hand as he began handing out the drinks to the respective people. Rosie gave him a quick thanks as she accepted her cup of tea, which she sipped at quite merrily as she replenished herself. Lucifer gave a bow as he stepped back with the tray before gracefully sinking to the floor and crossing his legs in the process. He rested the tray on his lap as he picked up the tea meant for him, his eyes bright and focusing on the trio that were sat on the couch.

    "So, what's everyone talking about?"

    When Lucifer had returned, Alastor allowed himself to relax dully now and he eagerly took his cup of black coffee, murmuring a soft "thank you" to his lover before taking a sip. Lilith took her cup of tea and she thanked her dear husband before she started sipping on the sweet hot tea, faintly tasting the sugar in there. When asked what they had been talking about, Lilith swallowed a small gulp of tea. "Just talking about Charlotte, dear." The queen responded before going back to sipping on her hot tea that she was savoring. Alastor shifted slightly on the couch and he just drank his bitter hot coffee, letting it warm his throat.

    "Ah. I trust it's all good things, right?"

    Lucifer queried with a broadening smile whilst a thudding noise started up when his tail thumped about behind him against the floor. He was loosely aware of it but he tried to ignore it as he kept his focus stretched between his tea and the trio.

    "Our dear daughter has quite the challenge ahead though, once this advert is completed she will have to face Vox in order to get it aired."

    Rosie nearly choked on her tea as she heard what Lucifer had just said.

    "You're not sending her alone to face that vile brute, are you?! The poor dear!"

    Even she held no love or respect for the media overlord, and she rarely did business with him or his associates. As far as she was concerned the vermin could stay in the sewers where they belonged.

    Lilith nearly swallowed her tea the wrong way and she had to clear her throat to prevent herself from choking on her own drink. "Lucifer! You're sending our daughter over to where Vox and his associates hang out at?" The queen demanded to her husband. She dryly swallowed a gulp of tea and she held the cup carefully in her lap as she gave her husband a stare. But Alastor decided to ease up the tension. "Vaggie said that she would go with Charlie when it would be time to get Vox to air it." The wendigo said meekly in a soft tone of voice in an attempt to ease some tension.

    "Well, I... er..."

    Lucifer shrank back as he looked between the female demons, his smile fading fast as he cringed with sudden worry. At least Alastor stepped in, though he wasn't sure that would be enough to sate the ladies. He offered a nervous laugh as he looked around frantically for anything to help with the situation.

    "Al is going too. Our daughter will be fine! I-I swear. Please don't hit me..."

    He whimpered the last part quietly whilst he eased himself back so he would be out of kicking range.

    Lilith was clearly glaring hardly at Lucifer for what he was going to make their daughter do. Especially since she had thought that Lucifer was going to make her go alone all by herself to face Vox. But then she made herself soften her gaze upon Lucifer. ”Oh just toughen up already Lucifer, I’m not going to hit you. But at least she’s not going alone, but you know what would happen if you made her go all by herself.” Lilith responded whilst narrowing her eyes at her husband. Alastor watched and he just sipped on his coffee until it was all gone.

    Awkwardly he began to fidget and his tail swayed uneasily across the floor. Lucifer eventually lifted his gaze up so he could look at his wife again, and he was about to speak but he noticed someone coming down the stairs. He inwardly thanked the fates as he cast a large toothy grin towards Vaggie as she appeared.

    "There's our favourite future daughter-in-law! Come over here and say hi!"


    Vaggie stared at them all in confusion as she eased her way down the last few steps before coming closer, offering a curt bow of her head towards Lilith and Rosie.

    "Hey. Are you both here for the advert?"

    Lilith casually went back to sipping her tea which was almost gone by this point. So she just took small baby sips of it to make it last for now. Then her attention leaked when she heard someone coming down the stairs so she promptly looked up and saw Vaggie approaching. ”Oh Vaggie darling, of course we’re here for the advert.” Lilith swiftly nodded her head before drinking the rest of her tea and she swallowed. Lilith would’ve liked to see her lovely daughter but it seemed like Charlie wouldn’t be coming down the stairs anytime soon so Lilith thought that she would just have to wait to see her daughter.

    "Indeed, my darling. We're here to assist in anyway that we can."

    Rosie chimed in with a nod as she lowered her now empty cup of tea. She offered Vaggie a toothy grin as she waited to get some instructions about what to do. Vaggie smiled and came over so she could be a little more involved with their guests.

    "I'm really glad you both came. I would really love to brainstorm some ideas for scenes that we could film. There's no talking involved because I believe... ugh... Charlie and Luci are already planning on singing a jingle."

    She gave Lilith the 'I'm stuck with idiots' look as she mildly cringed.
