( a brow lifts as louis approaches, though it isn't anything more than a strange acknowledgement โ god, after all, made man in his image, and lucifer tainted them to the demonic forces in the world in an image of his own. shortly: he recognizes louis, despite never having met him before, and would recognize him anywhere, in any dress, with any face. the undercurrent of bloodthirstiness is as familiar to him as a bit of dirt between his toes, i made you, and you are mine.
that look quickly turns into a sharp grin, lucifer as the role of charming carney, games where all the endings are rigged, skewed in his direction. how thoughtful of a loyal servant to come keep him company, and not shy from his mighty power. or something? ha! he laughs a little to himself, seemingly more insane than not for a moment, when his smile turns to something more genuine, a kind of happiness that comes from greeting an old family member you haven't seen for awhile โย of being reconnected with an arm you were really starting to miss, actually. )
I can't help what I am.
( which is: a devil, a little scamp, a liar, a cheat. it is also: extremely good at cards. )
What have you got to lose? Dignity? I'll have a bit of it, son.
