The other sibling would raise a brow at the slightest, though usher the gesture after a few seconds, and resort to transcending to that plain, unreadable stare on Samael instead.
Games. These were nothing but fouled words and games to the ‘trickster’ that was his younger sibling. But no matter how coy the other demon’s tone was, Lucifer would not fall victim to his playfully lustrous words.
”I fail to see any falsity.”
[光] ;; —-
Maintaining authority within Gehenna was something Lucifer had always done, whether the others respected his wishes or not, and he had never once recalled Amaimon spiraling out of control before. But if anyone had been behind it then it was inevitably Samael. As such, there could only be the conclusion that his brother was lying. Tricking the eldest into believing he was responsible for something that he was not. Why does this royal not learn?
Petty. Even for you.
“I do not deny or enforce anything, but we both know the truth.”
And yet still the eldest remained neutral in this compelling little excursus from the original deliberation. It seemed as if the other felt obliged to justify himself, and yet reluctant to add on the foolish matter. Even so, the time-devil’s contorted tongue could twist forth any kind of confession from most with a little verbal encouragement. This colloquy was a mind game after all, yes?
❝Unfortunately, you may have to explain this ‘truth’ — I haven’t the slightest idea of what you infer. You asked if I still had our younger with me; I told you the royal of earth has since returned home. The misconception that either of us has been betrayed, or held information from one another, proves that your words are, essentially, a falsity. Alas, I would simply hate to prove you wrong, so do explain for me. If you are capable of that, of course.~❞
