Eri saw her eyes shimmering at his words. They seemed to shake like he had some some powerful and moving thing. He had merely been commenting upon what he noticed. At least from what she had told him about her dad she was like him. She was trying to save him and warm him back up. Yet she didn't give up on him and treated him like a friend. Which brought occasional flickerings of something at the base of his heart. He didn't know what it was just that there was a faint stirring. Maybe something he didn't remember but a good something. "I hope so." He said softly. He hoped they were. The most likely were. He supposed one way to think of the here and now was that he was in a better place than he had been. He growled almost playfully when she called him a puppy. Attempting a joke. "This puppy is one huge little dog." He said. Trying to make her laugh for some reason he just didn't fathom. He let her pull away and lowered his hands. Nice safe hugs? What the hell was a nice safe hugs? Were there unsafe hugs? That confused him and a puzzled look crossed his face for a moment. It went thoughtful as she continued.<span style="font-style: italic">Ice means you can always get it back with the right person comes and warms it for you.</span>For a younger female she was very wise. He wondered what it would be like to feel. To learn to have emotions. What would that be like. He followed her into the kitchen to watch her fixing something to eat.<br/><br/>~The lord, who let only this woman call him Luca, looked at her. "yes...you do. you are far more intelligent than any man and I listen to your council more times than not." He said honestly. He rarely spoke honesty but with her he broke his personal vindetta against the world. He looked at her. "All they succeeded in doing was making him that way. They were supposed to make him evil not the strangely pure heart that he was." He said. Scowling at the memory. "They failed one too many times. I should have dealt with it myself rather than trusting my stupid child to him and his wife fixing the goodness out of that demon child's heart." He said. The mere memory made him growl and his tail to twitch. Listening to her as she spoke. She was the smartest of any of the high ranking demons. She ran her nails down his chest which sent shivers of delight down his spine. He sucked on her neck. Thinking on her words. Pulling back. "I want to turn him evil not lifeless and dead. A lifeless and dead ruler is not worth anything." He said. Looking thoughful as he groped her left breast. His tail rubbing between her legs after slipping up her skirt. "In all honesty do you think if Erik hadn't been there that the vampire might have succeeded?" He asked. "Hmmm....so even locked away his emotions rear their ugly head. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage. Lets see just how strong Erik can be. For now we will test their bond. Slowly but surely. I want to see how strong he has become. Only then will we know what smarter approach to take." He said in a musing way. He shook his head. Picking her up and carried her with his hands on her rump to his chambers. "We can discuss more later. For now...I want my sexy top lady." He said in a sexual growl. Vanishing into his room with her.~
