Regent nods to the ladies as he listens to them. "It would be my pleasure to assist you in your duties. Let me know if you require my services as I wish for your stay at the capital to be a rewarding one for you both despite what your demanding duties may call upon you for." He says with a soft grin.
As Ciel, Lysandor and Ereskigal emerge from the kitchen he smiles, "Ah it is good to see you all again. And you've brought the refreshments... how thoughtful."

Becky meets Nyx's eyes with out flinching and smiles back. She takes the puck out of the goal with a little shrug. Then the human sets it down with a chink on the table and then sends it zig-zagging across the table wildly.
Ereshkigal comes out of the kitchen carefully as she has most of the trays. They follow her balanced on tendrils of her dress like a line of slightly confused balloons, bouncing slightly as she moves to to table and takes them off one by one to set them down.
"We got distracted taking out the trash." Ere says blandly. She plucks various tidbits as she sets them down trying this and that as she glances around the new arrivals and pauses looking over at Nyx and Becky playing air hockey. One eyebrow quirks up.

Valentine looks over at Arianna and her lips curl.
"I have to admit I do have a few hobbies myself, and life in the city is very entertaining and different from home." She laughs a little, the husky sound full of dark thoughts.
"However, the Leccubi are a very demanding people to serve."

Today Thane actually looks eager to see Ciel. The goodies look good enough as his hunger rules the day. He takes a giant paw full of appetizers and nods to Ceil with a mouthful. "Thanks... I though you guys fell back into hell, never return."

Ciel chuckles and hip-checks Thane. "Now you don't honestly think that we would fall back into Hell without you, do you?"
She moved her tray to Karl's side and leaned over to whisper. "The treats that are edible to you are in the middle."
Karen laughs and sighs, leaning back against the sofa. "My worries grow lately...I just don't want to fall behind."

Jess glances up as Ere and Ciel make their entrances, followed by Lysandor. Her eyebrow quirks slightly and she gives Lishia a kiss on her head before slowly making her way back to the air hockey game, watching the silvery Fallen and short human battle it out on a field of wind, surripitiously putting herself between it and the exiled Queen.
Lysandor puts the tray on the table where it should have gone, and glances around, almost frowning to himself.
"They're still in the other room," Jess says to him, knowing what - and who - he was looking for. "I'll get them in a minute."

Nyx counters the puck and sends it back with zeal to test Becky's reflexes. The puck races for her goal with wreckless abandon.

Arianna smiles at valentine "life in the city is far more entertaining but i just enjoy being somewhere new.The fey are demanding in their own way but they are very stubborn as well so they allow me to do as i like most of the time..." she looks to where lishia is setting. "i sometimes worry about my human, it won't be very long until she must care for a small one, it is my duty to protect them as well and sometimes that proves more difficult than my entire kingdom...."
Lishia smiles as jess kisses her head lightly" I'm fine twin, i promise" and returns her attention to the exciting air hockey match.

Becky sticks out her tongue at Nyx as she sends the little plastic disk flying back at him and straight past him to the goal.
"Worried yet, Nyx?" She quips.
Ereshkigal's eyes fall on Nyxereos and she starts slightly her dress whipping violently around her feet. She starts toward the air hockey table with a soft snarl.
"What in the name of the abyss is he doing among my court."

Jess's head snaps up when the Queen snarls and her eyes dart between Nyx and Ere. She remains where she is, though she doesn't seem to be too sure that's the brightest idea she's ever had.
"Playing air hockey?" Jess says, trying for an innocent and endearing expression.
Lysandor remains where he is as well. He frowns slightly, watching the scene unfold. He looks as though he might want to try and stop the Queen, but decides against it.
"Most Wicked Majesty, meet the newest Fallen of Hell, and servant of the High Chancellor, Nyxereos," he says to her, his tone back to its usual stoicism. It's hard to tell if Lysandor is displeased or not...

Thane nods to Ciel, "I have my doubts." he says to her with a slight grin. The hounds eyes narrow at the Queen as he hopes to watch the smackdown she is about to deliver on Nyxereos that he has always wanted to give the smug shiny arse. He snorts as he almost laughs at the thought.
"Yeah Karen, staying above the curve is always best." Karl looks up and his eyes get big... "Uh oh...Trouble in paradise..."

Ciel puts the tray down and saunters over to her Queen's side. "I do not approve him either Majesty...however, the Chancellor seems to think that we can make something out of it."
Karen nods at Karl. "Yeah...looks like Ciel's gonna try to save this one. Let's hope she does."

Ere reaches up and strokes the curve of Ciel's cheek gently.
"I see..." Her eyes narrow as she looks at the devilcat.
"And will you stand against me in his defense, Ciel?" She looks at Jess and Lysandor.
"And you two... will you move to aid him against me?" Her voice never rises above a polite conversational tone as she catches and holds each of their eyes in turn.

"He is my pet, majesty, and as you can see, he is not the same creature that you once knew, and hate." He turns his head to bow slightly at her as he approaches. "He has been 'fixed'... ere he was broken and twisted into the rampaging terror that directly lead to the untimely death of General Zarek and your eminence's exiling.
Rest assured my queen that he whom you loath no longer exists. From the darkness... and his own regret... he has been reshaped and reborn anew. I have forged him into a new image, I proudly, all be it humbly, present Nyxereos. Fallen arch demon and my personal praetorian. What better protector can one be afforded than to reshape and realign one proven to be such a worthy adversary?"
He sighs softly and smiles to Ereshkigal. "By your graces my queen, I ask but for a minimal tolerance for him. By your mercy in allowing his continued existence... I shall take personal responsibility for him... in time, he shall prove to be a worthy ally, fierce defender of hell, the throne and your grace."

Ciel almost looks down as if shamed, but raises her head and looks into her Queen's eyes. "I would never go against you Majesty...I thought that you knew that. I was merely stating the Chancellor's intentions with it. Personally, it still galls me when I look at it."
Karen turned to Karl and whispered, "This is getting interesting...should we get popcorn or something?"

Lysandor allows a brief, ghost of a smile to cross his features. "By my own choice, my loyalty and allegience lies with my Queen first and Hell second, not to one so newly Fallen the down on his feathers is still wet."
Jess looks more than a little worried at the prospect of standing against Ereshkigal. She looks between the little demon and the silvery Fallen, and gets a thoughtful, stubborn look in her eyes.
"Despite whatever's said about me, I'm not stupid and I don't have a death wish," she jokes, trying for a smile. "I'm not even going to try to stop you, but I figured if I stood here, you'd be less likely to just bullrush him. Give you time to think things through before you do something you might regret in the future."

Ereshkigal looks grumpy but relaxes slightly. She reaches for Ciel's hand and leans on her, but looks at Regent and speaks to him.
"Fine fine. Brother, I will hold you responsible for him... and any foolish actions he may make. I won't kill him- right now." The demon queen nods at Jess.
"Very foolish and very brave- also correct and smart. I like you too much to kill you just to punt that loser." Finally She looks at Lysandor and her lips twitch slightly humor lighting her eyes.
"I have to know. Wet with what?"

Nyxereos looks to Ereskigal with a blank look of indifference.
He senses that he should care, but he cannot. His head droops as Regent steps up to vouch for him. He feels the need to speak yet he remains silent and somber. Probably the best decision he has ever made... or not.
"...4 to 4..." he says coldly with a northern chill in his voice as he retrieves the puck from the goal.

Karen's nerves with the situation were getting bad. She jumped up and clapped her hands.
"Anybody for a dance?"
She turned and headed to the cd player just so the tension in the room would dissipate and not be so thick you could cut it with a knife anymore.
She didn't know if it was gonna work or not, but damn it, she was gonna try.
