"Let's make a deal" The flames in the boy's eyes dance wildly as he speaks. She licks her lips nervously. "What kind of deal...?" Phoenix runs a hand through his dark hair, making him seem even wilder, as though he was an animal. It was common sense to never make a deal with a demon... and yet, she couldn't help but be drawn to the idea.
