She was beautiful, and she seemed nice, and you had to deconstruct what she meant when she was talking, which was sort of fun in a way. But more importantly, how she acted toward him drew him to her immediately. He wasn't a mutt or a mongrel or a dirty halfbreed to her. She seemed to hold him in some sort of reverence, but that didn't register to him. She was just being nice, like the others, but it was her first time meeting him and usually a Demon's first time who didn't work for SOPHE ended with insults or injury...usually both. She was on his brain, and he almost didn't hear when Leasick asked about perfume, but that word triggered something and he took a quick whiff. Lord whatever it was, it was strong, and it was strange since it was different scents all smooshed together.<br/><br/> But just like Leasick, he'd smelled it for an instant and then it was gone. Strange, but strange was nothing to him, not when you lived a life like his. Turning back to Mallory, he laughed, as he was as knowledgeable about combat and training as she was about her research and science. "At some point, you'll get hooked on exercise. Clearly not to the level of me and my dad...and surprisingly my mom, but we're fight junkies like that. Still, sound body equals sound mind, and you'll start to feel great. Plus, it's a cumulative effect. The more you do it, the better you get, the healthier you end up. <br/><br/>Plus I'll teach you how to kick ass. You can even put Kevin in his place when he steps outta line," he said with a playful nudge to her side. "And don't worry...you won't die...<em>much</em>," he playfully joked. Mallory was such a good friend that she was almost like a sister. She was one of the few people he didn't feel anxious and nervous around. Looking at the beautiful blue demon as she thought and recognized his father, he couldn't help smile a bit that his dad was demon famous.<br/><br/> He'd heard all the stories, but it was still cool that demons with centuries, millenia under their belt remembered Azmodiel and just how larger than life he was. He was extremely proud of his father, but getting him to admit that was a chore. Every time she sneezed her magic, he could sense it for just a moment. Even disrupted as it was, he could feel the potency of her power. Kyless was not a weak demon at all. But he'd grown up around strong women like his mother, Oei, and Desdemona, a lieutenant of his dad's who defected alongside him. This was nothing new, but for someone who wanted to be strong so much, strength attracted him, and Kyless was definitely strong.<br/><br/> As they walked, she jingled, and each peal of the bells sent little shivers through him that he didn't understand, as his life had been fighting and not much else.  He kept stealing glances over at the blue demon as they walked, and when she asked if he and Mallory were training for a war, he chuckled and shook his head no. "No, not for a war of his. He said he doesn't do that anymore, because the last time he did, the Plains of Rhumoris got turned into black glass from end to end and the damage has never been undone." His father, being a demon, didn't sugarcoat things much. <br/><br/>He never shied away from the man he once was, and never lied about just how much carnage and destruction he'd caused. Back in the Demon World, they compared him to a walking natural disaster or extinction event. Ryusei would have called him crazy if he hadn't experienced his dad's actual power. Just releasing his full killing intent once paralyzed the young man for several hours. He was the real deal, and probably one of the most powerful demons ever. "Don't worry, Kyless, he likes it here. He doesn't plan on destroying large portions of the world or anything like that." <br/><br/>He could talk about it normally since it was his dad. He just hoped the others didn't think of the Elder Demon differently. They all knew he was strong, but he'd never shown his true strength as there had never been a reason to. After walking for a bit, a store with two square signs, one in English, the other in Japanese as the logo stood out from the others. "How about we start off at UNIQLO? (https://i.insider.com/55e717ce69beddf179b27ec8?width=1200&amp;format=jpeg) They've got great stuff, and sales...which means we get even more use out of the company cards." One thing Ryusei enjoyed was looking good, and looking cool. So he knew a lot of good places to shop. Uniqlo was definitely one of them, and was so popular it was popping up in America like wildfire these days.<br/><br/><br/></span><br/>
