"You don't say... I don't suppose your father shares the same interest in the finer details of the case."

"I see, But another title does little in terms of satiating my curiosities. But I suppose it will do for now..."

"Just... try your best not to move suddenly, it's going to sting." The prince said while grabbing one of the small disinfectant wipes and attempting to gently clean out the wound.

"I don't mean to sound rude, but your sympathy isn't exactly beneficial to me..." Seems the Ex-Prince is aware of whom this one's adoptive father is. "How do you /think/ I'm doing..?"

"I'll have you know there are many benefits to the study of astrology. It isn't all about prophetic predictions, you know."

"Worry not, little one... it can be tidied up. I'd rather he sure your wound is properly disinfected and tended to..." And so they would arrive in the kitchen where the Prince would gather the needed supplies from the medical kit he'd mentioned earlier. "I must warn you, this won't be pleasant."

"How bad was their day..?"

"The fact that you would confide in me is enough to show at the very least, you're trying. It takes a lot to break outside comfort zones, I know this all too well now... Just know that you can look to me should you need a reminder of how brave you truly are, even in the face of fear... if not for~

Stolas would close and lock the door once the King had made his way inside. "I must admit, you were the last I'd expected to see on such short notice after my exile... I'd offer you a drink. However, It's not mine to offer."

The Prince thought of the question for a moment before giving a firm shake of his head. "I would not. You wear your prey as trophies, such implies a vicious hunter. But knowing what I've learned of you in this brief conversation? I would no longer hold such a viewpoint..."

"O-oh-" Stolas noticed the paparazzi starting to form and gently nodded before holding the door open for the king. "Do come in before they start swarming. My... partner likely wouldn't care for all the attention."

"There we are, much better. I do prefer, at the very least, honesty when speaking to me. Although I suppose for one whose second tongue is deception, that could prove rather taxing. I mean this in no disrespect, simply an observation from my past encounters with... less than savory demons."

Stolas had just gotten out of bed not long ago, so he was still clad in sleepwear. His feathers were all ruffled, and he moved rather sluggishly from the living room to the door. He grumbled as he opened the door. However, upon realizing who it was the owls eyes widened. "Your majesty- to what~

"Receptionist is my job, yes. I teach astrology as a hobby. I have rather astute students, very eager to learn. It's really rather inspiring."

"Is that so? because I've seen a very similar song and dance before... Personally? I believe you're one of the many great deceivers of ancient... Perhaps you're simply a monster under the bed of angel's... perhaps you're every bit the legend that was depicted. Most don't live long enough to verify~

"I am just as capable even without my royal status... I haven't anymore time to bicker with you, I happen to have a class to teach." Oh?

"O-oh-" that got him to snap out of his slight anger fit "My apologies, here, just a moment." The prince would gently set her down and motion for her to follow. "Come, I have some disinfectant and gauze in the kitchen. Always good to have some laying around."

"It's not about being 'nice'... it's about professionalism, which I happened to learn a lot about growing up having to deal with diplomacy..." The prince let out an irritated chirp. "Twll you what, you manage to show a sliver of respect and perhaps I'll reciprocate it... until then? Kindly~

The owl would let out an upset chirp before picking Orchid up and putting her on his shoulders. "Come now, little one, we should sterilize and bandage that... then I'd like you to tell me all about it..." There's a hint of wrath in his tone.

"With an attitude like that, I can see why it's been so troublesome... have you considered, oh, I don't know... being civil and respectful..?"

The prince would narrow his eyes for a moment. However, he was quick to return to his usual stature. "You're a legend, even to hell's upper echelon... normally, it is known that if the Angel's Bane should walk the streets of hell, that one should cower and make haste to distance themselves... I~

The prince's eyes widened and he let out a concerned chirp before putting his book to the side and quickly stoop up to examine her wound. "How did this happen?!?!?" His voice took on a protective tone "Did someone /hurt/ you?"

"Just what kind of creature are you..? The flesh of angels adorned upon you... Artifacts meant to be lost to time... The Royal Family has spoken of such things only as passing rumors... and yet you stand here before me now... The bane of angels." seems Stolas has heard of him.

"Oh my- I must admit that does sound rather delectable. I suppose just a few won't hurt-" The prince said with a gentle smile, reaching out and grabbing one of the hellpork Kolache's before taking a bite of it. a satisfied chirp escaping his beak. "That is rather lovely! you said the others are~

"hm?" The prince had been reading, so the sudden sound of orchid's voice broke him out of his thoughts. "oh, Hello little one. I don't recall us having a lesson today, what brings you by?"

"Blitz, my darling little Imp. I can assure you it certainly hasn't been easy. Look at all we've been through together... especially since my exile, when there wasn't anything else left for me... nowhere to go, you could've abandoned me without a second thought..." The owl let out a saddened~

"No sense of respect." He mumbled under his breath. "I'm growing rather weary of this, I have enough to deal with right now without your foolishness..."

Stolas should've likely remained silent and continued walking along. But something about the other had garnered his attention. "A most curious choice of attire, if I might offer you some advice? Dressing like a warrior in this ring tends to beget challenge and conflict. So if that's not your~

That's gonna ruffle his feathers a bit. His visage shifting from mild annoyance to genuine anger. "I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THIS WAS HAND STITCHED BY ONE OF THE BEST TAILORS IN THE ENVY RING!" He took a moment to compose himself. "Though I suppose when you've worn rags most of your life, you~

The prince's eyes widened as the detailing of the armor and its adornments became clear. Just what kind of creature would do such a thing..? And were they friend? Or foe..? Needless to say, the sight had frozen Stolas in place somewhat. Could he be in danger? Or was he just on edge and overthinking?

Flails slightly to hit it away - "Are you kidding me? Have you any idea how much this suit costs?!?"

The prince's stomach nearly turned at the sight, it was barbaric to him... cured skin being used to create armor? He'd known some in the Ars Goetia who weren't even so twisted as to think of such a cruel fate. To be adorned as mere attire by the one who had slain you... "Well that wasn't on my~

"Is it a hobby of yours to pick on me? You're just as bad as Stella some days..."

The prince had simply been walking about and trying to clear his head. It was not an easy feat for him because of how dependant he'd grown on antidepressants for a long time. However, he was quickly taken out of his train of thought as the glint of the armor caught his eye. "What in the seven~

|| Hope everyone be enjoying the birb- I'm super out of practice writing him 😭

"I happen to think they're rather funny jokes-"

"So- in a sense- You could say he was /disarmed/? hm?" Punny owl.

POV: You threw Loona a bone, but she brought back a sinners arm. /Silly

"That sounds like it could be rather pleasant. At least compared to speaking with Loona- Let me be honest with you, little one- She kinda scares me- do hope you never have to see her when appointments are backed up-" He said with a gentle chuckle.

"I suppose I do need to keep my strength up- what is this dish you've brought..? It looks like a pastry dish- are you certain this is suitable for breakfast?" Curious birb, he hasn't seen this food dish before.

"Yeah, this is I.M.P. Who the fuck do you want us to murder?"

The owl like prince would repeat it to himself underneath his breath as he picked up each bottle and looked then over. "Windows and Mirrors, Counter tops, Carpet cleaner- Got i-" He hadn't even finished as she'd handed him the broom. "I'm not that blissfully unaware- I know what a broom is-"

"One more word, and I'll send you back to the mortal realm..."

"You sinners never cease to annoy me..."

A few confused blinks. "Oh... right... Don't have servants anymore... so- what exactly am I to do with this equipment?" Spoiled birb doesn't know what the fuck any of these cleaning products are---
