listentomymuse | Overlord and the pup

That's fine.

[He sighs.]

Just hurry.

---

Pup, if you could do that, you already would've done it.

[Cipher scoffs.]

And relax. I can't get a bounty on you if you're dead to me either.

[Munin nods. His eyes glow faintly before he reaches out and takes one of his feathers and tucks it in Leona's hair casually.]

That'll let you get in to go straight to her home. If you try to teleport else where you'll just end up here. You need Lady Maki's web to move freely.

[He shrugs again and Leona is able to walk through the invisable barrier. As promised. The bird does take him to his lady's palace.]

--

Bounty? What bounty?

[Her nose wrinkles at that]

I haven't done anything!

[Leona grunts.]

Yeah, yeah.

[He follows Munin in though.]

---

[A slow blink and she tilts her head.]

Aren't you the famous Beniyasha?

[He leads her into the palace. Its rather modest since Maki isn't one for flashy things. Its only refined and expensive enough to show she has wealth and power.

A few servants blink at Leona and whisper to eachother.

Munin takes him to the garden.]

I'll fetch my lady and bring her here to you then. Please be patient.

--

[Moroha blinks. It's....been a hot mintue since shes done anything. She's been just a shrine maiden or at Leonas]

Uh...pretty sure she has long white hair.

[Smile?? Shit. She did forget. She hasn't left their area in so long!!]

[He sighs.]

Yeah, yeah.

---

[A flat look.

Then Cipher rolls her eyes and hands something over to Moroha--her rouge.]

Here.

[Munin smiles politely before heading back into the palace~]

--

[Moroha blinks and stares]

Wha---how--- HOW DID YOU GET THIS?! THE HELL!?

[Leona sighs, standing there and closes his eyes.]

--

[She snickers.]

I'm good at finding things, pup.

[A pink haired woman comes out about fifteen minutes later. She's got a robe over her nightgown and its quiet obvious she was trying to rest and go to bed if not already there. She frowns at Leona, a bit annoyed]

You couldn't wait till morning? Truely?

[Maki frowns up at the lion lord]

---

[She squints more at her]

....

[With Mythril quietly undoing the her ties, she slashes suddenly at Cypher before getting to her feet and bolting for the nearest exit]

I'd rather get this done and over with so that I'd be out of your hair sooner.

[Leona sighs as he looks at her.]

I just need enough time to get back what was stolen from me.

--

[Cipher leans back before looking over at her.]

You're on a ship! How are you going to get off?!

You owe me already for waking me at such an hour and then demanding things of me.

[She shakes head at him]

What was stolen?

--

[She's....got a point but that isn't stopping Moroha from at least getting some distance. She needs to get out of here...somehow. She runs to the railing of the ship, looking at the water. Could...she swim the shore? Ugh, which way even is shore?

Mythril keeps on her shoulder, frowning]

A priestess.

[His tail lashes.]

--

Sooooo~?

[Cipher appears behind her.]

....All this for one priestess.

[Her head tilts, eying him.]

Is she related to that priestess?

[She glances to his tail. Leona isn't in the mood for questions clearly. Her eyes flick back up]

I'll cut to business then. What will you give me in return to giving you urgent late passage into my domain?

---

[Moroha glares back at him]

You're stuck here too.

[He forms a blood crystal in front of her.]

A sample of my own blood and a bit of my powers for you to conduct your experiments on as you see fit.

---

Hmm, am I?

[Cipher purrs, giggling.]

[She looks at it, holding the crystal in her hand as she looks it over.]

A bit dangerous of you to give such a thing so freely. May I be greedy and ask for a second?

[Her eyes sparkle a little. She can do a lot with this....]

--

I don't see anything showing otherwise.

[She walks around the deck, looking for any escape. There is a tug boat...]

If you want a second, help me make sure to snare an annoying pirate captain into your spider's web.

[His tail sways now.]

---

[Cipher hums, following her~]

Unlike you, I go where the wind goes.

Perhaps in the morning but it is the middle of the night and I don't think you'll wait that long. I should just make you give it to me for passage. You hardly come by as is.

[She fights back a yawn and stretches]

According to my spiders, there's a rather large ship to the north of my main town. Its at sea and just far enough to be too far to swim too. His ability is handy.

--

[Moroha squints at her]

So are you kidnapping me too then or are we both just waiting to that asshole pirate comes back?

[Granted...he did somehow grab her from a large distance away...he shouldnt of even known where she was. It makes her frown]

You dislike me coming into your territory even if it's just for pleasure.

[He snorts.]

Any way to cut off that ability?

---

Even if I take you, he can find you.

[Cipher tilts her head before her eyes light up. Taking something out of her back, she begins wiping Moroha's arm suddenly where Hook had licked her until the skin is almost rubbed raw.]

I haven't looked into it. But any "treasure" he touches he can reach out a fair distance to and take it in exchange for gold. If his saliva touches it then the distance doesn't matter and he can track it more so....annoyingly so.

[She yawns.]

I do not mind you in my territory as long as I benefit, its for my pleasure or one thing or another.
--

What are you doing?!

[She hisses at her and tries to yank her hand back.]

Then that's all I need to know.

[He drops a couple of pure emerald stones into her palm as well.]

I'll be out of your hair by dawn.

[With that, he disappears.]

---

[Cipher lets her go, looking pleased with herself.]

You didn't do a great job scrubbing yourself down if you showered. His stink is all over you.

[She huffs lightly. Munin is amused.]

--

[Moroha rubs her arm]

Are you trying to scrub my skin off?! They hell is your problem!?

[Cipher tuts at her.]

I was getting his saliva off of you. That's how he was able to find you.

[Her ears perk up and she glances over.]

Oops. We talked too much. He's coming.

His saliva?

[Her nose wrinkles though she does look over at that. A few crew men and the captain appear. He blinks at the two of them]

The hell you doing up here on deck lass?

[Not tied up either. He looks over to Cipher, raising a brow though he goes toward Moroha.

Moroha takes a step back though she growls at him. She has claws, she can fight.

He clicks her tongue at her, his eyes flicker gold and shes suddenly yanked. She appears by him with him gripping her wrist tight. A gold coin drops where Moroha was.]

Cute and all lass, but you're really out of your league. I left that old madam a lot of gold for you too. So behave.

[He pulls her to him as he leans down to her]

[Cipher shrugs~

Though she feels her fur bristling up when she feels the air suddenly grow hot even with the coolness of night. She blinks a few times before she looks over the railings, seeing the sea around them...

Turning into sand?!

A hand suddenly grips the back of Hook's neck.]

Let go of my treasure, pest.

[Already, the ship itself is crumbling into sand.]

[The sea turning to sand in the real eye catcher. It has even hook stopping and staring. The hand he suddenly feels on the back of his neck is next.

He hisses and narrows his eyes.]

[He release his hold on Moroha, putting his hands up casually.

Moroha blinks and stares at Leona, surprised.]

Leona…

[Ah…that’s a name Hook knows. Crap. This little girl just had to attract a demon lord? How is he even allowed to pass into here? He thought the Spider lord was particular about such things. Hook clicks his tongue]

Didn’t know she belong to a lord of all things.

There’s a lot of things you don’t know.

[his voice is low, dangerous. His grip on the pirate tightens hard enough to start causing cracks to appear among the skin.]

Not that it’s going to matter in the long run for you. I ain’t necessarily in the mood to play games.
