---

Thomas Blake has posed:
"If she slips that damned giraffe in my arms and slips out like that one more time, we're going to have words." She did. She will again. They will have words. "I'll giver 'tolerates' too while I'm at it." As he mutters he puts the finishing touches on a ham and cheese omelette. He already kicked one imp to the wall for making a grab for it. The others kept their distance.

"Fuck off. I am in no mood for your nonsense. I may not be able to kill you, don't need to. I will make you regret living. Or whatever you call it. I wish Bloord would get back." He actually missed little gruesome. Oh well. What fresh hell will this day bring?

Saeko has posed:
Technically Saeko herself was a 'servant' to Inari, but her rank as a Tenko did allow the vixen to command the kitsune below her...still, it hadn't been something the more 'hands on' fox had made use of for years.

Right now? She could see a good reason for that.

"I am begining to think you'd rather not have these servants in your house at all," she speaks up, seemingly just 'appearing' in the room once more. At least this time she wasn't interupting!

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake smashes an imp's head with a spatula. It staggers away and he disposes of the utensil. He walks over to the Tenko, looming a bit. He stops a little close and extends his hand.

"They're actually pretty handy. But Bloord is somewhere getting something done for him. He usually keeps them in check... Bloord learned not to mess with me. These little morons haven't yet. Humans are toys or food to them. Try me, assholes!" Then he's all smiles for Saeko. "Care for some brunch? Coffee? Can I do anything for you?" He takes a deep breath. Her scent is incredible. Like flowers and bread baking.

Saeko has posed:
"You used him as a club last time I was here and he seemed happy about it. Demon-folk truely are weird..." Saeko muses, that kitsune mix of sweet scents clinging to her as she lazily leans herself against the wall and gesturing to the kitchen.

"I will not refuse a beverage, although please feel free to continue with your...fearsome brunch battle."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake give the nod and an imp puts the kettle on.

He sits down on a stool, facing Saeko directly and does his cat lounging pose, his toes nearly touching the kitsune's. "So... having fun with Satana? I have to admit I am jealous. You are lovely. ears tails, let them all hang out and be comfortable. Go full fox if you like. I'm getting used to the shape shifting. You may see a scaley horned, fanged demon in gauzy lingerie. She gets inventive. What I'm saying is, do whatever you need to be comfortable. Let me know if I can get you anything... food, drink, mint for your pillow, tail brushing?" He chuckles. He is one of those people who find apex predators cute.

Saeko has posed:
"Full fox," Saeko repeats, a little laugh following her as she moves off the wall towards the table, lazily leaning a hip against it. "This is the true me, these ears and tails as I told Satana, but I can take whatever form I desire, from fox to human and in-between. I could appear as you, or as her, or not at all if necessary..."

His questions of fun and comments of jealousy earn a little chuckle while the fox lifts herself upward onto the table edge now, bringing her knees together for the sake of modesty.

"I have, but not in the same fashion as you, at least not as of yet. We have had some...exciting outings thus far though."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake turns around to take a bite of his omelette. After a moment he grabs a clean fork and holds a forkful an omelette that smells delicious, out to the kitsune. "Ah well. Satana saw you first. I'll behave. Try a bite? I do pretty good omelettes." He wiggles the fork a little.

Saeko has posed:
A smirk follows from her lips before she braces her hands either side of where she sits at (or rather on) the table before the fox leans forwards, lazily claiming that bite of the offered snack with a little sigh of delight.

What wasn't to like about a decent snack after all!

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake smiles and offers another forkful. He rests his other hand on the table. Nope it's a tail. He realizes this before putting his full weight on it and strokes it instead. Soft.

He leans close and murmurs, "I feel like one wrong move and I'll be bitten. But in fairness... you're the most delicious thing I've ever had on this table. Some... kitsune lead men who would hunt them to their doom from what I know. I can appreciate that. I will take no or enough for an answer, or a bite... lovely as you are." Satana was perfect in form and face but she was more lust and passion personified (toting a plushie at times).

Saeko has posed:
"You worry of how dangerous I might be," Saeko grins with her painted lips parted just enough to show a pointed canine, "And yet you live in a home with demons, share your bed with a succubus...you are a strange creature yourself Thomas Blake, not just for your ability to create a decent omlette."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake moves closer and puts his arms around the kitsune. "I don't worry about being bitten. It is part of the thrill. I'm more concerned with running you off and ruining the possibility of a good thing. As for demons... humans are about as bad, at their worst. I have seen humans at their worst." His arms settle around Saeko's slim waist. He manages to stroke a tail again.

Saeko has posed:
The tails seem sensitive if the twitch of her form and ears are anything to go by, but the Tenko seems intent to play it off lazily with a smile.

"Humans can be terrible, wonderful, creative and boring. The wide spectrum of humanity is part of your people's charm after all."

A lazy flick of her fingers, light flares between the digits and she's holding what appears to be a strawberry to snack on. "And I am not so easily scared off."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake pulls back slowly, reluctantly, to let the tenko have room to snack. He keeps relatively close. "You can ruin a good time without making the other fear you," he says. "I've one it with Satana, she has done it with me but we get back together. ... no soul sipping from me now. That would hurt her feelings. I don't want to see her unhappy. I see beyond her little lights and insults. Not too hard. She's much like a lioness herself. Proud and dangerous and appreciating the little kindnesses as long as they seem to be your idea. Seriously, can I get you anyth... " Abruptly an imp puts a cup of very hot tea on his hand. He manages to grab it and hold it up to her.

Saeko has posed:
As the arms slip away from her and Saeko lazily places the strawberry between her lips, nodding as she listens and giving a little laugh softly.

"If I wished to 'sip' it is not the same, it's the life force that I drink from, not the soul itself."

A beat, the fox gives a lazy laugh. "Although I imagine certain parts feel the same, although I do not -need- as she does."

The cup? She reaches for it, giving a light little sniff.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gets the feeling Saeko could be composing... Haiku in her head while he is flirting with her. Which is fine. He plans heists and plots revenge. As she turns away... well easier by far to ask forgiveness than permission and he is pretty sure she can make him stop or port away.

The obi is unfamiliar, but really two square knots. It comes undone quickly. He does pick locks and prides himself on his dexterity. He slides the yakuta off one shoulder and begins kissing it, resting a hand on her thigh.

"I'll take 'no' for an answer but biting won't do you much good."

Satana Hellstrom has posed:
A burst of brimstone, overridden by cinnamon.

"Yes," Satana says dryly. "Biting doesn't do much good. He's used to it from me."

Satana is in her human form, except for her eyes, which are black holes with red embers inside. And her teeth. Which are razor-sharp points in a double row, shown in a predatory grin.

"I think he likes it."

The demon woman sashays up to the fox, patting Thomas ... personally, like a ZZTop song ... in passing to brazenly cup Saeko's cheek and kiss her.

"If you want to have fun, go ahead," she says. "But Thomas, it's going to cost you." Oh-oh. "I've been looking at jacuzzi tubs for no particular reason." A private smile is directed Saeko's way. "If you want to sleep with my best friend, assuming she'll have you, we're buying and fitting the biggest, fanciest, most expensive jacuzzi there is."

Beat.

"Oh, Bloord's back. He's a fiend now, and my is he lording that over the imps! Chip off the old block that one is!"

Saeko has posed:
As the tea is lifted to Saeko's lips, then she feels her outfit slip looser, a little noise of surpise and a little shift of her form with a soft giggle on her lips as she feels that kiss on her shoulder.

Then enter Satana, all her forwardness and swagger in full force!

A little shift, she returns the kiss lightly and giggles quietly, gesturing to herself.

"It used to be the affections of a kitsune was worth kingdoms, not simply hot water."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake looks at Saeko. "Worth kingdoms... that would take me a while to steal or conquer and I do not know many kingdoms up for grabs. Kitsune must not get laid very often if they need a kingdom's worth. What if the kitsune finds a thief and scoundrel attractive? I can do better than hot water by the way."

Then he looks at Satana. "I expected you to throw me through the kitchen door. The surprise won't be as fun now. He releases Saeko, puts his hand on Satana's cheek and tugs her towards the backyard.

He had been fixing the house up. An artist was hired to restore the nude painting over the fireplace and was in fact waiting to paint Satana. Thomas doubted he would do her justice. The front yard was cleared with some infernal help.

The back yard had imps in a flurry of activity, laying heating elements and stones to make a foot path to a cleared area. The path likewise has heating lamps assuring people walking the path would be toasty warm.

"It was not lost on me you like hot showers and when you get out of them you contract till you seem a foot shorter... and I have a ball getting you full sized again. Hence the lamps for this..." he gestures to a box the imps are opening. The side proclaims: J'accuse Jaccuzzi, XXX-Large Size for ADULTS.

Satana Hellstrom has posed:
"Oh, sweetie!" Satana purrs, eyes half-lidded. "If I had a kingdom to offer you, I'd hand it over like a shot."

Looking across at Thomas and his advances, she grins again (her teeth now looking normal once again). "Thomas, sweetie, in addition to the jacuzzi, you have to get two mortal kingdoms. One as a gift for my darling little foxy friend, and one as a gift for me to be queen over so I can feel more like I'm at home while in the mortal sphere. You will, of course, be the prince-consort and I'll leave all the rulership stuff to you most of the time so I can spend more time learning."

Thoughtful eyes turn to Saeko. "You've given me a lot to think about, little fox, not just dream about." Brazen wink. "Your magics are something I'm going to want to incorporate into my repertoire."

Surprised by Thomas' subsequent dragging, Satana lets herself be pulled away briefly. Then she squeals loudly! "OH THOMAS YOU DIDN'T!" Quickly regaining her composure in front of the imps she nods imperiously. "It will do. I'll supervise its construction."

One imp faints from fear.

"You go sleep with my best friend or whatever it was you were planning." Muttering to herself she adds, "I sure wouldn't be sleeping..."

Saeko has posed:
A laugh comes from the kitsune, a little sip of her drink and a shift from the fox, she makes to stand from the table...yet instead of gravity dropping her down, she simply steps as if the ground was there beneath her bare feet.

"Satana, he is a mortal remember? He might not have the best time."

Apparently with dreams of her and blessings given, Saeko shakes her head in amusement, reclining in the air.

"Or whatever you were planning...?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake returns to his omelette and takes another bite and drains the coffee mug. "As I said, I don't have a kingdom. Also I have never paid for this in my life and will not start now. You should try me and see whether my affections match yours and if so, we can call it even. If not... I know what can happen. Satana finds me pretty tasty, she needs souls and life. I'm used to both and... between you and I she sleeps pretty soundly after snacking. He picks the kitsune out of the air, holding her tight. He begins kissing her neck.

Saeko has posed:
"Is that your offering?" Saeko muses as she finds herself plucked from the air, the kiss on her neck earning another giggle before she extends her arms to hold herself at length and sets her teacup down properly. Last thing she needed was to drop it on herself. "Yourself? Satana did suggest something similar, albeit a little less properly and atop my altar to Inari...which is less than acceptable."

That said, she lowers her hands now, each coming to her side for a moment as one of her tails coils past, lazily stroking against his cheek.

"That said, curiousity is not something I'm without...and you're certainly not lacking for confidence..."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake does a slight double take at the tail, then nuzzles it. "Yes myself. That is the greatest gift I can give, a taste of life force, my trust you will leave me a live. I adore Satana... the little potty mouth. I can adore you too. You are so different... a very genteel and well mannered predator. I like female predators. They have a beauty, a pride, humans lack. Human females are mostly puppies or kittens. As for my confidence... I lived with lions. You either walked like you owned the Earth or you were nothing, beneath notice. You ate the remains of every kill, last, if that."

He brings he hand to the scars on his chest, then to his mouth to kiss slim fingers. "Curiosity answered can be very sweet."

Saeko has posed:
"There are similarities," Saeko agrees lightly, "and great differences too. I -am- a creature that rewards the good, more even than I punish the wicked. A being of -a- heaven even if it isn't that which opposes her hell. She's a temptress, and I? A trickster." Saeko trails off, listening to the rest of his words as he lifts her hand and kisses at her fingers while her lips quirk up into a smirk.

"Is that you trying to tempt -me- Thomas? Satana would be proud..."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake looks up from kissing those fingers. Reddish hair falls in his green eyes. "She'd only be proud if I succeed. Failure would give her a laugh. Then consolation sex. Not the best sex but still sex." He seems to lose himself in the tail stroking his face nuzzling. As her weight returns he releases the hand to get a firm grip on her.

Satana Hellstrom has posed:
A large crashing sound from outdoors heralds the arrival of an imp missing its arm and dripping black blood all over the carpet as it runs, terrified, through the kitchen, into the living room and down the stairs. Satana's voice can be heard hectoring the remaining imps to pick up the mess and, quote, "DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME OR I'LL HAVE YOU REDUCED TO WISPS IN DADDY'S TOILET!"

Seems that the demoness is still busy.

Saeko has posed:
Well, at least he was honest, Saeko couldn't fault him that. A little chuckle, that tail does offer one last flick before it draws away to join the rest of that furred haze behind her. It actually took effort not to knock over things on the table behind her with all nine of those after all, but she'd had over a thousand years to get used to finding space for herself in human dwellings.

The maimed imp? That's a little bit of a distraction, but she's drawn in none the less as she offers a lazy smile.

"I could be convinced to take some time to relax, even if it will be some time before that tub is in place. That is why I prefer to have one in any human hotel I stay in, far less effort."

Or there was teleporting across the world with an offering, but that was a whole different thing...
