I stopped when I heard Alastor say jambalaya. "Wait jambalaya?!"

     Alastor popped his head into were I was sitting saying, "Jambalaya."

     I looked shocked and said, "Red beans and rice?"

"Gumbo?"

"Mardi Gras?"

"King cakes!"

Husk looked back and forth between me and Alastor as we said this, along with everyone else. Husk rolled his eyes and mumbled, "oh boy."

Alastor ran up to me after saying king cakes and grabbed my hands as he was about to say something. He stopped and let go of my hands. "Oh I'm terribly sorry, how rude of me. The name's Alastor and it's a pleasure to meet you darling!"

Alastor extended his hand as he said this. I looked at him as he looked so familiar but I couldn't place my finger on what.

I grabbed his hand as he twirled me around. I chuckled as I said, "Hello Alastor, my name is (Y/N)." I looked up at him as I realised he was tall as shit. '7 foot my God-'

     He stopped and froze whenever I said this. He looked like he wanted to ask me something but didn't. Husky almost chocked on his booze as I said my name.

Alastor quickly tried changing to subject. "It seems to me dear that you know about the culture and traditions of Louisiana. Now I know someone who's from Louisiana when I see one! So which town from Louisiana are you from my dear?"

"I had an apartment in Baton Rouge. I moved to New Orleans a few years later with a friend and later died in New Orleans."

Alastor's eyes flickered to Husk as Husk and him looked shocked. "Oh interesting~ Well it's been a while since I've seen anyone from there and you lived very close to the town I used to! Hahaha!"

We started talking more. Alastor asked how I died if I didn't mind telling him. He kept staring at my wings every now and then.
I told him the night of how I got shot.

     I looked up at him and he looked like he was remembering something. Husk looked at me like he knew me but didn't say anything.

"If you were murdered and never killed anyone, how did you end up here?" Alastor asked gesturing his hands to the entirety of Hell.

"Uh," I looked around to see everyone staring, "that's a story I will tell later..."

     Alastor nodded his head understanding if I didn't want to speak of it now.

  Alastor went back into the kitchen thinking about what you said as he was making jambalaya. He couldn't get the thought out of his head and that you had one angelic wing not to mention your slashed halo. He also couldn't stop thinking about you. You reminded him so much of someone he deeply cared for. He knew it may be you but he shook his head knowing an innocent soul as yours went to Heaven or so he thought. He smiled wider as he thought that you were interesting. Charlie walked in happy as she asked Alastor if he needed any help. Alastor said he was fine as he took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. He tied his hair back into a vey small ponytail as he began cooking.
     Once Alastor was done cooking, he came into the lobby saying he was done. Everyone got up smelling the food and walked into the kitchen. You sat down as Alastor's little helper, Niffty, sat across from the table next to Charlie. Vaggie on the other side of Charlie while you sat between Angel and Alastor. Husk sat on the other side of Alastor.
You enjoyed the food as you smiled. Alastor noticed this and his smile grew warm. He was glad he met someone who knew about his traditions and culture from his past life. Alastor thought maybe later he would try to ask you about your wings when no one else was around. He realized you seemed uncomfortable with having them out and not being able to hide them. Once everyone was finished Charlie went to wash everyone's dishes; you insisted on helping but Charlie said you were a guest. Vaggie helped Charlie as you headed back into the lobby. Angel came behind you and groped your small chest. Your face flushed a deep red as you pushed Angel's arms away.
     Angel pinned you to the wall saying, "Babe, if I was into girls I would have definitely fucked you by now. However, you do have very cute tits~. I only wished I looked like you with your cute and small heavenly body! I would literally kill to look like you!"

Angel was pulled back forcefully as Alastor said as his voice became more static, "Now Angel, that's no way to treat a lady nor is it a way to touch or speak to one."

     You sighed in relief that Alastor pulled Angel off of you. Angel rolled his eyes and laughed as he walked up to his room blowing a kiss at you.

"Are you alright my dear?"

"Yeah just baffled."

     Alastor looked like he was worried but covered it up with a laugh, "Hahaha! I would be too. Angel is quite unpredictable."

"Um...thank you," I said fiddling with my fingers.

"If Angel bothers you again just tell me."

     Alastor looked down at you and patted your head while telling you that you're welcome. You giggled as you walked up to your room. You stopped midway thinking you didn't exactly get a key yet and you didn't even know your room number or where it even was yet. You walked back down and saw Alastor walk into a room. You walked to were he was as a sign appeared on the door. It said, "Alastor's Office." You paused as you took a breathe and knocked on the door. Alastor opened the door and looked down at you.
