A Nomad, and the Succubus (Private thread)

[Ignis]

Taking another look at the woman, she wanted to help me because I looked like someone who needed it. I didn't want people's pity. There was no need for it. They should be focused on someone else. Not me. Because of that, I was half tempted to draw my sword on her myself. But, She was a woman. She was genuinely trying to help. Pulling the hood off of my head, I took off the mask as well. Pulling it down around my neck, I walked towards her and bowed my head slightly.

"Um, thanks then. Where do you want me?"

Luna smiled.

"You can come and ride with me. We aren't that far from Beinost. I have a home there. If you need lodging for the evening I'll be happy to provide it for you."

She gestured to the carriage behind them.

[Ignis]

She was even going to be providing lodging for the night. I was not really inclined to go with it. Keeping a tight grip on my sword, I moved towards the carriage that was mentioned. I looked at the woman again and then took the step up into the carriage. Adjusting the sword so I could sit down, I moved myself on the soft seats. It did feel rather nice to sit down instead of walking. I then waited for her to enter, and I kept myself quiet.

Luna climbed in and sat across from him. She knocked twice on the carriage wall again after closing the door, and they started moving once more. She studied the boy's face a moment. Such a handsome one~....

"I suppose strangers offering this kind of aid must be puzzling for you. Why don't we get to know each other a bit so you feel a bit more comfortable?"

She gently extended her hand in greeting.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Luna. Or Serenae, if you prefer."

It might seem odd that she would reveal her true name to him, especially since she had already taken an alias. But she was The Devil now. This boy looked like someone that would prove an interesting companion. Perhaps a bit of honesty would coax him out of his shell. She might actually be able to let Vincent meet him. The Emperor was always looking for new allies, after all.

Taking a look at the woman, she gave out her name as Luna. Honestly, it was easier to say the first name rather than the second one. As she offered her hand, I took off my glove to be more polite and then shook her hand. She has a rather soft skin texture and was gently shaking my hand. While others may have bowed as some of the other elves do. I decided to let it slip out of my mind as she mentioned that it was weird for for me to be accepting others help. I agreed. It was weird for me. I knew I was shy, but I just was. I didn't like to talk to new people. It was just weird for me.

Yeah, just a little weird.

Taking a hold of my second glove, I took it off and shoved it into my pockets as I was sitting down. I removed the hood and scarf completely from my face to maybe cool down a bit in the shade of the carriage. Looking at the woman, I then spoke in a rather hushed tone.

Name's Ignis.

[Bubbles]

"Ignis. A unique name..."

Luna mused. She offered him some more water as the carriage rolled on.

"Well, Ignis, How long have you been traveling for? It can't have been easy on foot."

[Ignis]

I was already taking up her time and space as she mused about my name. Now that she was offering water, I took it and began to drink sips from the canteen. I didn't want to gorge myself and as such, only did in small amounts. Everything in moderation as they say. Taking the canteen and letting it sit on my lap as luna asked about how long I have been traveling. I rolled my eyes and decided to answer.

Traveling currently when you saw me walking, a few days. Traveling in total, a year or so.
