Vincent, still in awe, never turns his gaze from where Adrin had just stood.
"That's right, you haven't met her. Thatwas the Third Death, my sister. Her name is Adrin. She is prone to disappearing for weeks at a time from the castle, but she's essentially harmless."
He recalled telling her the same about Lucifer upon her first encounter with him.
"Well, more harmless then anything else in the castle. I can promise that much..."
<<and I've taken on the role of ALL the Deaths, since only the three of us remain... *closes eyes and sighs* we need some fresh blood around here... i wish Jenny_Bug was back online again... she'd be great at this...>>
Lucifer crept into the hallway leading to Champion's room. He had to do something soon or that brat Damien would be in charge around the castle for ever! Perhaps he could manage to get around Vincent and Adrin to make a successful attempt soon. First, though, he decided to make a quick trip back to his chamber in the dungeons...
Adrin laughed a bit as Vincent finally appeared before her. "Took you long enough, Vincent. Making friends, are we?" She said it in a rather snide tone, implying much more.
"What? No!" He shook his head, then suddenly returned to his calm demeanor. "Damien needs her alive so that he can take over the castle. Lucifer keeps making attempts on her, and I was keeping an eye out for a quick moment... And telling her she should speak up for herself with Damien, since she's so alone here."
"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, bro. Lucifer's skulking about his chambers in the dungeons again. Looking through his blades and such. I think something's up." She brushed some hair from her face, then smiled. "Someone should watch over this 'Champion' until Lucifer's done with whatever he's trying."
"Right. But we have our own jobs around here. Unless given a direct order by Damien, we can only interfere when Lucifer attacks. Otherwise, it's kinda out of our jurisdiction..." He lowered his eyes to meet his sister's, hiding the rest of his face beneath the cloak he wore. "Besides, I can't stay with her at all times, and the others in the castle are too busy. And you..." He smirked, unseen behind his cloak. "...can't handle Lucifer on his worst day if you were at your best!"
She slaps Vincent in the back of the head. "I could so!" She looks down, turning her back on him and crossing her arms. "Besides, if nothing else, I could've held him off 'til someone else got there."
"Not gonna happen. Let's get to work filling tht quota." Vincent walks out to the courtyard.
Adrin turns, focusing on the fact Vincent is leaving her behind again. "Hey! Wait up!!!"
