I shift back as we walk into the tavern, Vox sitting on a stool with Velvette.
"Vox!" He looks up at me, and oddly enough I smile.
I don't know.
Maybe I do like him.
Just a bit though.
"You got this one out of his tower, yeah?" He says as he walks toward us.
"Yep, and I've got a plan."
"Wha?"
"Itll take a bit of time, but we wanted to announce our relationship, so let's do that, tell the public and make sure liliths watching. She'll come to start problems outside of the hotel and away from charlie. So everything we built will be fine. And my daughter will be safe."
"And?"
"Well I have to take Als soul from her before she crushes it, which I can't do without her being physically here. Shes only a basic sinner so I can just TAKE it, unless she can gather enough souls and land to be considered an overlord. Which she cant because she's not aware of that, adam and lute were pampering her in heaven, but she can't do anything to hurt me, so I'll take it and then we'll fend her off."
"And by fend her off?"
"Well Al will probably just eat her. But you know, it sounds cooler that way."
We both look at Al who isn't even paying attention.
Lost in his thoughts.
"Al, what's on your mind?"
"What if she just decides to snap it first."
"Oh..we can..announce just me and vox? As long as it represent me moving on, she'll want revenge."
He doesn't say anything.
"We have to do this. And we won't fail. But I don't think we should take any chances. She could have a spell already on your soul."
I look into his eyes.
As emotionless as he is usually..theres a glimmer in his eyes. One of panic. Fear.
"Al..please.."
Vox takes his hand and pulls him into a hug.
Al doesn't reciprocate for a moment, before his hands slowly wrap around him.
I look down at my phone and scroll through my contacts.
Typing into a chat.

I look back up, shoving my phone in my pocket.
"We have to do this quickly, Charlies a wreck."
"Yeah."
"Yeah?"
"Let's do it." Al looks at me.
I smile. "Set it up for tomorrow then?"
They both nod.
