Are you angling to replacement, darling?

[He tsks lightly.]

Who says I won't continue to run it myself?

[He gives a wave of his hand.]

I won't, I won't. Not as long as you remember whose good side to stay on.

[sharktrash]

It's difficult to run something when you're not there. It could be wiser to delegate. You would still make the big decisions, of course.

[ His smile's perfectly sweet, though he clearly is interested. ]

[ There's clearly some relief when Lucifer reassures him, even if there's no way to tell if he's being genuine with it. Nonetheless, Squalo's willing to take any chance at the moment. He lets out the breath he's been holding, then does his best to gather his bearings again. His lips twitch into a small smirk. ]

Just doublechecking to avoid some loophole shit later -- that's your good side, right?

[odaystar]

Oh, darling... I have big plans for that. But having a second in command isn't something I'll neglect to consider.

[He's not fooled by that sweetness, Squalo.]

It is my good side. I'm far more giving than my Father can be.

[sharktrash]

Consideration is all I'm suggesting.

[ Not all, really, but it's a good enough start. ]

I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime... let me know if you need help with anything more than sin encouragement.

[ He's willing to help torture some sinners, just saying. ]

[odaystar]

Don't worry, darling. You're always on the list for that.

[He gives a teasing smile.]

You're rather talented in many areas after all.

[sharktrash]

Good. I am willing to work for it.

[ Just in case that wasn't clear. He still smirks smugly at the acknowledgemenet. ]

And ain't that the truth.

[odaystar]

Would you work on anyone that I offer you?

[He arches a brow.]

Even those you seem almost friendly with?

[sharktrash]

Not Xanxus.

[ He replies with a raised eyebrow, and shrugs. That pretty much implies anyone else is on the table, though. He wouldn't like hurting Spike, or Thor, or especially Hector, but if push came to shove, he'd certainly do anything to keep Xanxus with him. ]

[odaystar]

Just asking, darling.

[He gives a bit of a smile.]

It may be necessary one day, but I'll keep in mind Xanxus.

[sharktrash]

Necessary?

[ Elaborate, please, because that sure sounds like a threat to him. ]

[odaystar]

You offered your services to me and it may be necessary to call on them one day. It also stands to reason you may be harming someone you've gotten friendly with.

[He gives a dismissive shrug.]

I simply wanted to make sure you were prepared.

maybe wrapping up soon?

[sharktrash]

I'm prepared. As long as you hold up your end.

I think so!

[odaystar]

Darling, I always do.

and done probably

[sharktrash]

[ Squalo was just going to give him a grim nod. If it meant getting to see Xanxus again... he really could have fucked over anyone in this or any other Hell. ]

[ For now, however, it remained a dream. ]
