Lucifero: grins devilishly "Ah, the fine art of neighborly greetings. It seems we have much to discuss, don't you agree?"
Lucifero: smirks "I'm just passing through, dear. But I must say, I find this quaint little town quite... quaint.

Lucifero: leans in closer, whispering "First, let's keep our little arrangement a secret. No need to go around advertising my true identity, now would there?
