Tempting a Demon

Lucifer stands beside Diavolo casually conversing when suddenly the pair hear a commotion in one of the hallways. They both run to see Mammon in his demon form squaring off with Starry who is almost feral. "Mammon you son of a bitch!" Starry snarls out and launches herself at him with her fangs bared and claws out. Right before she makes contact she feels two strong arms wrap and her. She snarls and kicks out, hissing harshly until she hears a familiar voice that makes her freeze. "What is going on here? Mammon! What did you do to make her act like this?!" Lucifer yells as he sees Starry snarling at the other demon and baring her fangs at him. He grabs her and pulls her away from his brother just in case she decides to try and launch herself at him again. He gently pulls her closer and rubs his thumb over her knuckles in an attempt to calm her down. "Nothin'! She's the one who started it!" Mammon yells back and points accusingly at her. He doesn't even bother defending himself against his brother because he knows he won't listen anyway.

"Bullshit! You're the one running your mouth! Why don't you tell Lucifer what you just said about Diavolo since they're both here now." She growls out and watches Mammon's face pale and looks between the other two demons. Lucifer narrows his eyes dangerously at his younger brother while Diavolo sighs with his arms crossed and shakes his head. "Come clean. Now." Lucifer demands. Mammon starts to stutter and looks frantically between Lucifer and Diavolo again. Starry snorts and rolls her eyes when he doesn't answer and goes to lunge at him again only to have Lucifer hold her back and pull her closer. He wraps an arm around her shoulders and holds her to his side as he stares his brother down waiting for an answer. Finally he sighs when Mammon still refuses to answer. "You can either tell me what you said to make her so angry or I can just use my power to make you speak." Mammon swallows nervously at the ultimatum Lucifer just gave him. If he tells the truth his brother will be mad and probably punish him in some way for talking shit about the Demon Prince. But if he makes Lucifer force the answer out of him then Lucifer will be pissed for making him use his power in the first place. "I didn't do anything! She's the one who jumped me and started yelling!"

Starry snarls and lets out a deep animalistic growl as her tail puffs out and lashes behind her. "You said that Diavolo was a fool for thinking this exchange program would work. That it was a waste of time and the only reason you're following along is because Lucifer is his lap dog." Starry spits out, not caring that Mammon is about to get severely punished by his older brother. Lucifer grits his teeth and glares at Mammon before suddenly turning into his demon form. "Do you not understand the significance of Diavolo's goal?!" Mammon backs up when he sees his brother's demonic features take over. His horns grow out and his four wings sprout from his back and a black diamond birthmark forms on his forehead as his nails turn into sharp claws. "You dare question your Lord's intentions?! Do you want to be stripped of your powers again!?" He roars as he moves to grab his brother's throat. Diavolo quickly moves to save the younger brother from Lucifer's wrath since he's the only one who can tame Lucifer. After a bit, Diavolo dismisses everyone leaving Lucifer to handle Starry. She growls softly as she watches Mammon scamper off to his room and start to stalk after him until Lucifer holds her back.

"Enough of that now. You will cease chasing my brother at once." He demands with a sigh as he grabs her arm. She lets out a huff and turns to him with an almost feral look in her eyes. He swallows thickly and takes a deep breath. She had a way of making him nervous and his heart race in a way that he hadn't felt since the war between angels and demons. It both intrigued and terrified him that she could get such a reaction out of him. He looks her over slowly and frowns. Her cheeks are flushed and her breathing is slightly erratic. She had obviously been ready to attack Mammon for his insults towards Diavolo which meant she must have strong feelings for his Lord. That made sense. He has always seen her hanging around the Prince and they are often caught chatting. This, however...This feeling of jealousy bubbled up inside him...It was foreign to him and he wasn't quite sure how to handle it. He didn't like seeing her so riled up over Mammon of all people. It just rubbed him the wrong way for some reason. He was about to speak again when he heard her let out a soft growl that caught his attention. "I can't fucking believe you just let him off the hook like that! Are you really going to allow him to insult you and Diavolo? To insult everything Diavolo is working towards to make peace between the three realms?!" Starry snarls out as she walks over to Lucifer who crosses his arms and looks down at her with a sigh. As he reaches out to pet her she smacks his hand away and bares her fangs at him. "Don't. I don't need your comfort or need your help calming down." She says before storming off towards her room and slamming the door shut behind her.
