LET'S GO A LITTLE HARDER / open, joining

[Luca]

Gay heaven, now that's a place Luca could get behind. He could settle for gay hell too, perhaps, but honestly he had suffered enough hell for a lifetime. Absolutely miserable place, it was. There was more than one hell though, perhaps there was one out there that Luca could actually enjoy. For now he would stay... wherever he was, messing around with all these magic animals and their clans or whatever. The hellhound caught the group out the corner of his eye as he headed back to his home, and he stopped his journey to check out what the holdup was. Usually joining were over pretty quickly, but by the looks of it those guys were just sort of chilling. Now, chilling wasn't something that Luca was ever against, he just thought the gates a strange place to hang out.

As he approached, he seemed to get a pretty good idea of what was going on. Gabriel's words and the smell of the Ascendants of this cute cat's fur were enough to tip him off. "I don't see a problem with letting him in." Luca said as he finally came to a stop behind the others. There wasn't much one enemy could do on their own. Besides, Luca was definitely interested in getting a piece of that. He fixed his gaze on the soggy Merihem, lashes low and flirtatious over rose eyes. "My name's Luca," he said in a purr. "It's a pleasure." It seemed like they really were going to have to wait for a high position though, as unnecessary as Luca thought it was.

A small part of him wanted to ask about Shininglight. Was he okay? What was wrong with him? Why didn't he remember Luca, why didn't he love him back? A million questions raced through his head, but none of them left his mouth. Instead Luca fell silent, his tail swaying behind him with a silent agitation. He wanted to keep his visit to the Ascendants on the down-low for now, so if he asked Merihem anything it would be in private, away from the prying eyes of others.

Caesar's sudden words drew Luca out of his thoughts, and he cast his gaze away from the joiner and towards the other demon. "If he was a spy he would've hid the fact that he was in the Ascendants, I think," Luca said, raising a metaphorical brow. Announcing his former allegiance like that would be a shitty move for someone trying to be discreet. If the Ascendants were going to send a spy, they'd send them in looking like any other joiner. At least, that's what they'd do if they weren't complete and utter idiots. But then Caesar was leaving again, prompting Luca to watch on with a huff.

"Jeez."
