«Char-Char, oh Char-Char... — he sang through. — Our lovely princess of Hell... Isn't it just… swell?».

He was singing words through, especially her name.

«Char-lott-e... Ah, my Charlotte... I absolutely love you», — he continued while leaning on the railing with a view on the Pentagramcity.

He was absolutely lovestuck at this point. But at the end of the day, he was always quiet about it. Even when no one was around he'd rather murmur to himself than sing out loud those words and her name. Just so no one would know, yet the quiet attitude was somehow appealing and had its soothing effect, in a way. After all, it was safer.
On the public, when people didn't know who Alastor was talking about, he would use term «Che-Che». It sounded ласково and had its ring to it.

Affection of his dreams in the eyes was quite adorable. The secret admiring of the person from shadows was probably one of his new hobbies now.

Had he shown the affection somehow in front of the princess?
No, it wasn't a thing. Yet he did declare his friendly attitude towards her and made a few gestures that would be considered as the «usual» ones.
No one could tell that the Radio Demon himself would behave like this, not in a little.

Here he goes, just standing there with his arms on top of the railing, admiring gaze and look forward... somewhere in the future.

This man was a gentleman, women knew that. Charlotte did too.
He was also a good friend to her, and she loved her friends, which was satisfying for Alastor because he knew that his feelings are mutual at this point.

Alastor came off to Charlie through his shadow. One second, and he is already there. The man came up to the lady and saw her alone in the hall. Looks like she was preparing for something. Alastor smiled and created a red rose with his magic hiding it behind his back. He greeted her with his usual uplifting tone:

«Well, hello there, my dear! I see you're up to something?».

Charlie turned around to meet his gaze and tall frame.

«Oh, hello, Alastor. I'm preparing our next redemption exercise for today», — Charlie responds with enthusiasm.

With a quick motion male's hand with a flower popped up before the princess.

«Have I told you that you look absolutely marvelous this lovely evening?» — Alastor says and watches Charlie's surprised expression as she accepts the gift.

«Oh, Alastor, thank you... I didn't expect the gift as addition, you really didn't have to do that!» — Charlie thanks with an appreciation.

«Well, usually it's you who shows us how much we do mean to you, — Alastor started as he turned around and walked forward from her with his arm back up to its place and his iris in the left top corner of the eye, — so why not show it back then?»

Alastor's words actually touched ma'am. Despite the ease of doing that, she appreciated it nonetheless. It was actually a nice act, and no one could deny that.

«Aw, Alastor, it's so nice of you. It makes me happy to know that you care», — Morningstar said with a smile and a tilt of the head.

«Why, of course, my dear! — He turns around with slightly lifted eye lids. — Why wouldn't I?»

The sentence ended with a famous grin of his.

Charlie chuckles quietly.

«Welp, usually you… do this all for your… own fun… so I thought at first», — Charlie replied with an awkward smile..

«Ah, my dear… — Alastor closed his eyes and shook his head. — This place is not only my entertainment. I became rather… fond of this place, — there he proceed and slightly swayed his hands and pulled them down after a few seconds, — and people in it, — he ends frankly and points with his palm at the companion. — Which you are a part of.

The hand goes down.

Charlie simply kept smiling.

— I'm very glad to hear that! — the lady commented at such openness from such closed and reserved person.

Alastor stood there enjoying their conversation which was Charlotte's case too. Ah, strongly pleasant moment of silence that can't last forever. How unfortunate. But not for you, of course. The Radio Demon would want to stay here a little longer but he just comes back to his routine by casually asking if his help is needed:

— Say, Charlie, will my assistance be required for your activity?

— Ah, no. Thanks for asking though, — princess answered.

— No problem, dear. See you later! — farewelled Alastor and proceed to the elevator passing Lucifer's daughter by.

He was humming under his breath the melody of her name and talking to oneself in his thoughts: “Ah, what a beautiful name you have, my dear... ‘Charlotte’… ‘Charlie’... It just sounds so… endearing. Alas, you and I... Well, actually it doesn't matter. At least for me, my dear… it doesn't mean much. Because you've got a person who loves you the way I do, which you love back. I simply can't help but be happy because you're happy. I make you happy, we make you happy! You love us the way we do and you love me as do I.”
