Looking on in the dark, Xarius is not entirely surprised when the succubus wordlessly beckons  he enter her cell. After all discussing anything out in the hall ran the risk of the guard taking note of him, even if he was doing his best to remain as stealthy as possible. What he did find a little odd was the manner in which she was looking at him, smiling with those red unearthly eyes. Where he not able to see perfectly fine in the darkness, her visage would have looked rather intimidating peeking out into the dimly lit hallway. Of course the fact he'd dealt with demons before helped a great deal, and the knowledge that these cells seemed to have an anti magic effect upon them, for even the much less magically inclined catboy had felt the magic inhabiting pull of his prison's walls.<br/><br/>Stepping into her cell, Xaruis makes sure to dip around the side so as to not allow his tail to flick or stray out in the hall way inadvertently. Once inside he finds himself face to face once more with the very demon his ritual had ended up summoning... not since that fateful day had he been this close to her, at least unsupervised and unchained. So many questions rushed through his head, so many things he wished to know, to discuss, to ask...and yet he knew now was not the time for such inquiries. His freedom, and survival took priority, if they could manage to escape, well, then there would be plenty of time for all the questions in the world.<br/><br/>Standing tall the catboy speaks softly as to not alert the guard, yet even so his voice carries with it an undeniably smoothness, a confidence that permeates his every word "I see you got your cell open too hrmm?" Xarius begins, as he did find it rather peculiar that both he and the Delia had seemingly both been granted the same opportunity for freedom... this knowledge only complicated the cause of his own release even further. Had every prisoner been set free by the unseen force that had awoken him? Or was it just he and Delia? Or had she been treated differently than him in her own cell, had she managed to free herself on her own? He knew succubus could be quite tricky, but well... without the use of their magic, he wasn't sure how much luck she would of had on the guards, especially guards who knew anything at all about the prisoners they where looking after.<br/><br/>"Delia isn't it? I'm Xarius...nice to finally meet you. Funny we get the chance to say that just now huh?" he rubs the back of his neck with one hand lightly chuckling at the awkwardness of the situation, while extending the other in greeting, as truthfully the fact they were just now able to introduce one another was rather comical when he thought about it, especially when one considered many of the steamier rumors and stories people had been telling about them since the moment Delia had been summoned.  "Look, miss,  I know the past few days have been hectic, and from what I've seen, you seem just as confused about what went on as I am.. but for now we've got more pressing issues on our hands....namely, this ship's destination..I for one do not intend to live out the rest of my life in a mine, I'm far to handsome for that." he teases "I'd assume you feel the same?" he pauses for a moment, only to grin "about the mine...though your flattery is always welcome." he interjects before getting back on track "Good, then maybe we can help one another get out of here... unless of course you've always dreamt of becoming a prospector, in which case, who am i to stop you from fulfilling your dreams?" he proposes, grinning playfully once more, as all the while he continued to assess the situation. With her help he was sure his chances where much better, at least until they where free of the ship, succubi had certain wiles they could work on mortals after all, wiles that could come in handy where they to be used in securing them safe passage off this very ship... "I'm sure you saw the guard down the way... I'd be surprised if he didn't have access to a set of keys..and the sword and shield he's got there would come in handy in the event things get hairy for us while on board. Of course how to procure these items is another issue entirely, we could..perhaps... use the fact that both our cells have been unlocked to our advantage... one of us could call for the guard's aid...and when he comes to check, or tell us in person to be quite, the other can fling their door open and subdue him from behind. Of course we could opt for a more direct approach...or attempt to avoid him entirely by heading the other way in hopes that the hatch is unlocked....any preferences?" Xarius asks, cocking his head curiously as he was quite interested in how she'd react to all he had just said.<br/><br/>While awaiting her response the catboy is able to get a better look at her, despite it being dark in her cell he can make out her feature's quite clearly, from her fiery hair,  red glowing eyes, soft kissable lips, delicate pointed ears, slender neck and ample cleavage that was just barely visible as he maintained eye contact. Not allowing his eyes the luxury of feasting entirely on her assets, as after all this was their first meeting, well that and he knew her to be a succubus. Still, where he to have met her in a tavern, he'd surely have shot her a winning smile and made good on a charming introduction, before offering to buy the beautiful lady a drink. Here, well the only drink he could have offered was that disgusting excuse for water the guard's periodically offered them...that or fresh sea water the moment they hit land, neither of which seemed very appropriate offers.
