“Things have to be when I have to deal with lessers like you,” the demon said feeling particularly annoyed today. Not glancing up from his paper he continued with a, “Touch anything and I’ll give your hand to Osiris.”

“Fine then, sir, what I mean is that Belphegor sent me up to give you an assist, if you need any information or just a second set of hands,” she began, gaze drifting for a moment around the office. 

“You know what they say about you is true,” Cara started, her dark eyes returning back to the elder demon, “Ordered chaos. I don’t see a damn thing here out of place.”

With a sigh he looked at her annoyed. “What do you mean and do not adress me like that.”

“Segnalazione per il dovere, il capitano~”

“Got anything fun to start off the evening?”

The infamous Lucifer himself smiled for the first time that day when he saw his daughter the moment he walked into the door. She was his ray of demonic light in this hellhole they called Earth and for Varian it almost made his small black heart skip a beat. He was so proud of her it sickened him at times.

“It is fine, my dear.” He said shrugging out of his coat and hanging it up on the hook himself since Smithers was nowhere to be found. “I have a better idea. Let us go grab some lunch at the restaurant you like so much. I am not in the mood to be home at the moment and have been dying to spend the day with my little demon princess. What do you say?”

Home Sweet Home| Papa

Alice was pacing slowly back and forth on the hallway. It was a steady rhythm as if she had done it before - which she had. It was what kept her breathing steady and was a nervous habit of youth. After all it was to cold to go outside for the demon hybrid. She needed to stay in and wait. Nari should be home soon and then she would go to work. 

She didn’t realize someone was near until she sensed them. Looking up from her pacing she smiled. 

“I didn’t realize you were coming home early today father, forgive me I would have had tea prepared.”

‘And honey, you should see me in a crown.’

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“It is actually. This place calls itself high class when they can’t even serve a proper cuppa tea, is inexcusable.” Pulling out his phone, he quickly typed into the search engine the restaurant's name and frowned before pushing two buttons and bringing it to his ear. “Smithers, I want you to purchase Cafe Diem immediately, it’s location would be prefect for what we are looking for.” Hanging up he turned back to his brother.

“Business as you can tell.”

“Come now, it’s not that bad. You’re being a tad dramatic,” insisted the vampire, taking a sip of the orange juice in front of him. “I don’t know why you’re so grouchy.”

“What’ve you been up to recently, hmm? Or has it been business as usual for you and your man servant?”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“Yes a full demon, considering she is now only half. Her mother was a pathetic excuse for a human.” He sat down his tea cup and let out a sigh, fingers going back to tapping on the counter. Would this meal ever end?

“It tastes disgusting, Mud would be better than this filth.”

“Full demon?” He asked, leaning back in his seat. His fingers danced along the edge of his napkin. Now that was an interesting thought. He wasn’t well versed with information regarding demons, but it sounded intriguing, at least. “Don’t like the tea?” He followed, dark red eyes trailing across his brother’s unpleasant expression. 

“Ah well. I didn’t think you would, picky little thing.”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“She is well,” he stated, moving on from the utensils to the jelly packets and stacking them so that they were in even towers. “Perfect as normal. Soon we will begin preparations for her to become a full demon.” He grabbed the tea and took a sip form his cup. His face scrunched up, where the hell was Smithers when he needed a good cuppa tea?

“How is Alice?” The vampire asked, sliding through addressing the later comment and choosing to settle on his niece, a topic he knew would bode well with the demon across from him. 

“Well, I hope.” 

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“No,” he said, fiddling with the fork and spoon again. Stubborn thing wouldn’t line up just right. “I didn’t even want to come here in the first place. I should be with Alice having tea with her, not some insane vampire who is about as fierce as a puppy dog.” 

“I know full well that’s not true, Varian.”

“Are you not going to order anything?” He asked, still picking at the scone before him, carefully balling the soft bits into small spheres and popping them into his mouth. “That’d be a shame, really. They’ve got lovely food here.”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

Varian sat there, arms crossed over his chest, a look of annoyance on his face. One more that was filled with more annoyance than his normal one. This was ridiculous, why on earth would he want to be dining with his brother? His fingers tapped against his arm before he moved his position and grabbed his fork with his left hand and straightened it along with his spoon and knife making sure they were lined up and pristine. 

“You look ridiculous.”

“But I’m so sure you can! Even just a tiny one,” the vampire insisted, nimble fingers dipping down to clutch and press a piece of a scone past his lips. It wasn’t the food he liked so much as the ritual of getting food. Of dining. And it made it an extra special occasion considering his little brother was there with him. 

“Like this.” 

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“I do not smile.”

“Smile little brother, smile!”

“I know you can it really isn’t that hard.”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“No.”

“Is there anything entertaining to do around here?”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“They smell so… manly.”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“Vodka of course. I heard that is what Russians tend to drink... I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I mean you only get married once, correct?” Or not at all in his case. “Ah, yes she is. In fact she is my date for the evening. Looks as beautiful as ever, maybe even more so.”

Nodding, he gave a smile. “Vodka it is, then. Thank you for coming, I’m glad to see you. Did you bring the little one?”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

Varian nodded, glad that his congratulations was sufficient enough.

“What ever you are having. I don’t drink enough to have a favorite.”

“Thank you!”

“First sensible man I’ve met all day. What will it be, bossman?”

[lucifer-now-varian-blog]

“Congratulations. Now let’s get you intoxicated.”

“Yea, I’m still not drunk enough for this.”
