No One POV:

"...Ugh, I don't believe this. Of all rotten luck..." Mammon grumbled as he and Teli made their way to the House of Lamentation.

"Why should I have to look after some human? It's insulting, that's what is!" He grumbled more, making Teli roll her eyes in annoyance a bit but that's all that she did, much to Mammon's luck. Because if she would've actually digested what he just said, she'd have probably slapped him silly to the ground but since Mammon has been like that ever since they left the council room, Teli decided to ignore him and start working on the dance battle tasks, which she was in the progress of.

Again, much to his VERY LIMITED luck!

"That rotten bastard... Does he really think he can scare me into doin' whatever he wants?"

And just as Teli started wishing she would've asked Lucifer for earbuds earlier, Mammon put a hand over her D.D.D screen, concealing the challange from her which ended up making her lose.

She didn't like that.

"Just so we're clear... it's not like I can't say no to Lucifer, okay?! I only agreed to babysit you because, um... Well you know, because... uh..."

No, she didn't know. And frankly right now, she didn't care as she glared at him maniacally. That Nightmare draw cost her Grimm she still didn't have and he blew it for her.

But if she knew, she would've known that Mammon stumbled over his words because he got lost in her eyes for a second. The eyes that even though were now glaring fire darts at him, looked so special to him because of that fire that was eating at her hazel eyes.

Like a forestfire... dangerous, yet somehow enchanting.

But whether she knew or not, he was not going to tell her that!

"Anyways, it doesn't matter! Just don't go thinking that I'm scared of Lucifer or anything! Because I'm not!" He ended up stating.

"Sorry, wasn't listening." She said with a smug smiling face as she pulled the phone from under his hand, "And honestly, I really don't care."

"HEY, COME ON! Even if you WEREN'T listenin', you could at least pretend like you were!" He complained, looking dissapointed.

"I tried! For like half of the way!" She replied, trying to see if she can save her challange, giving him only half of her attention once more.

"...Ugh, whatever. Let's move on." Mammon finally gave up at the same time Teli gave up on the challange for the time being and the two continued their approach to the mansion before them.

Teli POV:

I whistled in awe as my body spun around, taking everything in.

"This is the House of Lamentation. It's one of the dorms here at RAD." Mammon explained, "Well, it's not JUST one of the dorms. It's the dorm reserved for student council members." He continued smugly before getting serious, "Lucifer, Asmo, and the others take every chance they can get to insult me. Callin' me scum, sayin' that I'm a money-grubber and stuff... but I'm an officer on the student council, same as them. The elite of the elite, the top of the RAD social pyramid.-"

'Here he goes again with his rumbling...' I thought to myself as he went on:

"-In other words, I'm a big shot. A REAL big shot. Like, even regular big shots are impressed by what a big shot I am. So don't you go thinking that I'm just some ordinary demon. I'm nothing like those other peons walking the halls here.-"

'I honestly don't care about this. Will it hurt him to just get to the point?...' I wondered as I turned my head to the side in search for something to do until he's done rumbling.

"-By the way, Diavolo is even MORE of a big shot. He's so important that he's got his own castle. That's why he doesn't live here with us.-"

'There's a bulletin board nearby. One of the flyers on it is advertising an opening for a part time position... Mmm, I wonder if it's still available...'

"-Anyway, the long and short of it is that us seven brothers all live here together. Now it's time to show you your room..." I turned to look at Mammon obliviately again to see that's he has stopped talking and was now a few stairs higher.

"Hey, don't just stand there with your jaw open. Hurry up, or I'm gonna leave ya behind..." He said before looking at what I was looking, "If there's something you wanna ask me, you'd best do it now."

I looked at the jobs before looking at him in thought.

"I want to know about that job listing." I finally said.

"Huh? If you're curious about that, you can read the flyer on the bulletin board, can't ya? Go take a look at it yourself later if you want." He replied, and finally I audiobly groaned as I mumbled "I should've known..." as I rubbed my temple, but just as I was about to get on with it, he added, "Wait, didn't ya just get your own D.D.D.? It got that app called '':D JOBS'' in there, right? Why doncha give that a try if ya wanna find a job?"

Slowly, I let my hand down and looked at him in surprise. This is the first time he's actually been somewhat helpful. Still rude, but helpful...

"Now, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice, so listen up." He said, "If you wanna survive even a day here in the Devildom, you'd better listen REAL close to what I'm about to say."

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"If it ever looks like a demon is about to attack you... run away. Either that, or die."

Blank stare. That's the only expression I could master up at this moment.

And this wasn't even considered an expression because I was expressing nothing.

"INGL-" And just as I was about to 'Eydishkeyt' his arse, I found out that I wasn't the only one who wanted to spear his Touchess.

"How about this? I vote for YOU to die, Mammon." A new voice joined our ''conversation''.

"D'ah...! Levi..." Mammon paniced as he turned around.

"Who?" I asked as I turned around as well to see a grumpy brother of Mammon with purple hair stomping his way down the stairs towards us.

And how did I know they were brothers? Because they both don't know how to intimidating.
