It didn’t look like much but like the rest of the establishment, it held a deep connection with its owner. The register sprung open with the sound of a bell and the coins clanked into place there before it shut itself tightly and rang again to let its owner know that the currency was counted. Not that Spade needed the profits from this place, but it helped when his guests needed change from the universes they had been or planned on going to.<br/><br/>The lovely atmosphere produced by Lucy’s performance was precisely what he had envisioned when he hired the Nephilim to work for him. She had told him about where she was from and how she was being hunted for who she was, and he found it to be a great shame. Though he could easily interfere in most of his guests and employees lives with relative ease, he held himself back because he knew the irregularities that his involvement could cause. Thus, he kept the Inn as refuge and safe place for anyone who wanted to escape the reality that they were given in exchange for a newer and more peaceful one. Their enemies would never follow them to the Inn, no matter how hard they may have tried. Anyone bearing ill will to those under his roof had no trace of them and no possible way of getting to them either.<br/><br/>Lucy’s singing was even more beautiful when it was accompanied by the bit of magic that Devon casted. Spade could not help but lift his head momentarily to catch the vibrations that his spellcasting gave off and though the Inn resisted at the presence of foreign magic at first, it was by Spade’s will that the effect continued unresisted until Lucy’s song was finished. He nodded over to Devon before he ended up walking away and talking to Lucy instead. His attention was drawn to Cleo again as she noticed that the room had changed and she glanced over to him to accurately guess that he had been the cause of the mystical effects and objects that manifested out of thin air.<br/><br/>“Oh, it’s no fuss at all. You made me realize that we’re not phoenix friendly. I’ll have to change that if you intend on sticking around,” he teased as the candles danced around the room unlit. Just as he expected, though, her aura alone was enough to cause them to ignite. He watched with interest and followed candle after candle, brilliant green hues twinkling as he admired each one. A simple gesture, perhaps, but one that delighted him and made him more curious about the woman beside him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Cleo. I am not sure why the Sun brought you here either, but we can find out together, if you’d like,” he offered himself selflessly with that familiar and warm grin, eager to learn the reasoning for her arrival as well. Nothing fascinated him more than a good mystery, seeing as there were so few of those left for him to discover after being around for so long.<br/><br/>When she reacted to Devon and Lucy chatting over by the stage, he couldn’t help but laugh softly and nodded in agreement. “Yes, one can only hope. That’s part of the allure of the Inn, worlds colliding unexpectedly and in hopefully pleasant ways,” he explained as his attention turned back to the phoenix as she asked him about Lucy working for him. “Yes, she’s one of my employees. One of many running around, as you’ll find out. I love giving people new purposes and chances to escape the boring or dangerous lives they might live. The inn provides enough that you’ll never need anything under my employment.” Speaking of which, Luc appeared in her cute maid’s outfit: no matter how many times he told her she didn’t have to stay cleaning all the time, the lovely angel did it anyway. He respected her commitment though and appreciated her dedication to her job.<br/><br/>He turned his attention to Araxis and Tatiana back at his original spot over by the bar. He arched a delicate brow and grinned in amusement as he noticed that Araxis had consumed the same treat he did, and already succumbed to Tatiana’s magic. The tingling sensation on his own lips returned and he found himself licking them subconsciously before glancing over at Cleo and taking a moment to inspect her own set of pink and seemingly kissable lips. “Err, sorry, what was I saying again?” he asked as he quickly glanced back up at her pretty eyes and flashed her another devilish grin. “Oh, right. Never a dull moment here, that’s for sure…” he muttered though he found his eyes drifting back down to her soft mouth again seconds later.<br/>
