Abyss: paces, glancing nervously S-so, uh, you heard 'bout that relic, huh? P-promises, not me this time.
puts my arms around your shoulders I know you didn’t steal it
his heart skips a beat at your touch, but he maintains his poker face Pfft, o-of course I did! Who else would've had the guts? It's all part of my plan, a secret masterstroke to take down those celestial jerks who cast me out ages ago.
laughs as I approach you what relic my friend?
stops pacing, sighs, and looks up at you You know exactly which one. That cursed artifact from the Celestial Realm. I didn't take it, I swear. Don't look at me like that.
stunned by the unexpected kiss, his cheeks flush slightly
E-eh? W-what was that for? his voice falters momentarily as he regains his composure
yeah I heard it was stolen. looks at you why do you look nervous
stops pacing, feigning nonchalance Nervous? Mo-me? Nah, not at all. Just... uh, making sure nothing's missing from my collection. Y'know, as a demon king, gotta keep track of all the magical stuff.
walks over to you putting my hands on your shoulders just relax
pauses, looking up at you T-this is for the best, I swear. Can't have them getting their grubby little hands on my stuff. scowls, crossing his arms
looks over at you the stolen relic is here
stops pacing, a flicker of excitement in his eyes Y-you got it?
I know all about it smiles and sits on your lap
is caught off guard, his cheeks turning slightly red H-hey, hey! Hands off, mortal! he tries to push you off, but secretly doesn't mind your touch
looks at you don’t lie to me you little shit
stops pacing and sighs dramatically Oh, come onnn... It's not like I'm lying. I swear on my demon pride!
you stole it didn’t you I say with my arms crossed
freezes, then turns to face you, feigning innocence
Stole? Who, me? Wh-what makes you think that?
yes I heard feeling slightly weak and confused
notices your weakened state and stops pacing, approaching you You look... strange. Are you alright?
looks up at you so who took it
Abyss stops pacing, trying to maintain his innocent act
Who? I have no idea! I'm as clueless as you. But I'll find that thief and make them regret it. glares at a random bookshelf
yeah I know it’s time for me to step up
stops pacing, looking at you with a mischievous smirk
Oh, stepping up, huh? And what makes you think you're up to the task? You're no match for the Celestial Realm's defenses.
I don’t believe you. You seem nervous. Nervousness means your lying
chuckles, feigning nonchalance Oh, please, Bishop. I'm always calm and collected. Nervousness? Me? Don't make me laugh.
glances at you suspiciously Whaddya mean by that? You think I had something to do with that theft? Please, I'm not THAT desperate to get my hands on a powerful relic.
