"It was hard to find a pair of pants and a top that didn't look like it could double as swimwear. I'm assuming succubi do not get cold very often." She chuckled, allowing him to take her hand in his. It wasn't the first time they had held hands, but it was a notable departure from the times where he led her along or offered up an arm for stability. Mina stared up at him as he led her down the way, bringing her to the streets where his people greeted him respectfully with admiration. Syn didn't seem to relish the formalities, though he did reciprocate the welcoming exchanges that happened often as they traveled to the festival. In the mortal realm, the witch was more than capable of ignoring stares and whispers, the kind of quiet utterances that drummed up feelings of paranoia and unease. Here, she was very aware of the curiosity and intrigue, the scrutiny and shock. Their Demon Lord was hand in hand with a human, and naturally the citizens of the Void territories recognized the considerate and attentive manner in which he regarded her. From what she was told, this was not unusual for their ruler but his apparent interest in her<i>was</i>noted among them.<br/><br/>As they stood in line, Mina glanced about. "You don't seem to enjoy the attention . . . Not really." She said, moving up when the demons before them purchased their items and moved along. "I suppose you don't really get a break in my world. Even though people don't<i>know</i>who you are exactly, they know that you're different. Stronger, at least. Do you crave normalcy? Is that why you hang around me?" She laughed.<br/><br/>For the most part, Mina treated him no differently than she would treat anyone else despite his title and his power. In doing so, in the very short time that they'd known one another, she was able to tell when he was putting on a good face for others or not truly enjoying himself. Unless, of course, he pretended to be happy around her, which she didn't think was the case.<br/><br/>"Also, I wanted to apologize for my comment earlier . . ." She admitted, taking a bag of goodies from the vendor when they finally reached him. "The thing I said about your lap and who was going to sit in it, it was immature. And I don't normally say sorry for being immature, but I understand now that you have a responsibility to the females in your territory and I didn't mean to poke fun." Mina paused on the sidewalk, moving to an open spot like everyone else. As she peered down the road, she could hear drums to the tune of a melody, signaling an oncoming parade.<br/><br/>"What is this all in celebration of, by the way?"
