The next couple of days were overall pretty uneventful. Isoloses was feeling better with each passing day which felt a little strange--but in a good way. Naevys was constantly busy with some investigation he kept complaining about under his breath whenever he and Isoloses were alone together, and it left Isoloses with a lot of extra free time. He'd spent a couple of days going down to the tavern in Alyvahone and had tripled and then quadrupled his winnings in as many days because everyone he'd faced so far had no poker face.

He figured if he showed up again, no one would be ballsy enough to play against him again so he decided to go visit Ilsa today. The walk had been enjoyable, the air was calming and no one bothered him much because by this point word had spread about his presence--and his owner. Naevys's ownership of him lent a level of uncomfortable acceptance by the residents of Tenebris Regni.

Ilsa was much, much more accepted than him though he wasn't really surprised by that. Despite Ilsa's status in Caelestes, it really didn't seem like many people here knew his realm of origin or exactly what to call him and he didn't seem to be in a rush to tell everyone. Ilsa didn't really need to though.

Despite having grown up in pretty much complete seclusion, he had the ability to charm everyone and captivate them. Isoloses was a siphon, Isandro was a shadow, and Ilsa--well, his father had really burned most of Ilsa's medical documents when he began being secluded in an attempt to erase his existence. It was easier to make a ghost seem like a figment of someone's imagination, and it allowed him total control over Ilsa and his healthcare. It worked out perfectly for his father, but not so much for Ilsa.

Isoloses had pretty much guessed that Ilsa was a succubus though when his father suppressed his ability to change into his full demon form and changed the circulation vents in his room to only circulate the air inside of his room around his heat. Normal omegas in heat smell good, and it was fully possible to get scent drunk so to speak with them.

Succubus's, however, have scents so intense that catching a whiff of them when you're unmated can make a person scent drunk. Isoloses could smell Ilsa's heat coming, even though his alpha didn't respond to it. For the most part, at least. If an alpha is exposed to copious amounts of any omegas scent it can begin to affect them. That kind of thing can also be changed if a pair of family members mate, but it was generally frowned upon. Still not entirely unheard of. While most kinds of demons cross-mate with other demons, a few families chose to 'preserve bloodlines' and all of that. 

Isoloses didn't know about all of that, really, though. He just preferred not to think about it. He had a feeling at some point his father's intention might've been for him and Ilsa to mate, though he'd never outright said that. There were just a few times that Isoloses felt certain his father had trapped the pair of them together in an attempt to force the situation. The most notable time was when Isoloses got locked in the room just outside of Ilsa's room while the guards stepped away.

The way their father had Ilsa's room set up, there were two closing metal doors on either side charmed so that no one could enter or exit through magic, they had to be magically opened from the outside and they closed automatically. There was enough room on either side of Ilsa's door for two guards--one on each side. 

The guards weren't typical guards that linger around the castle for protection purposes. These were guards who were created to serve the purpose of protecting Ilsa from harm and preventing him from escaping. They were sentient to some extent, they understood orders and most importantly--they were noseless, and therefore would not be affected by Ilsa's scent during his heat.
