❝ YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN — YOUR SILENCE IS MY FAVORITE SOUND ❞

Pincher was a cruel player. He only needed a few seconds of observations to figure out what made a being tick and twitch. Some confused it as love or friendship, believing that Pincher cared for them. But he was not. His mind had been trained to focus on finding weaknesses in anyone that dared to be around him and especially ones that decided to find the demigod by themselves, believing they would find warmth in his actions and words. But Pincher was more like ice, freezing you slowly to a state of exhaustion and collapsing into the numbing sensation of being too tired to fight back. It was a slow and delicate method that Pincher had used to get what he wanted or craved but he didn't want to do that to Luca. He didn't want to wrap the hellhound in a false security that Pincher cared or carried any sentimentality for the other male despite there being an odd attraction between the two that he couldn't exactly place his paw on. it wasn't anything sexual because he already had Jacob and wanted to be loyal only to him and no one else but something about Luca caused Pincher's interest to peak and like a shark, he had swam in silence in the situation before lashing out and sinking his teeth with the question. Was it bad that he was intruding? That he was questioning Luca even though they barely knew each other and their relationship was rather strained due to the beginning start of Luca joining the Typhoon? Did he care? Part of him was empathetic and understood but the darker, crueler side of him did not want to care. But he didn't let that show and he was trying to be better even if the old habits haunted him.

As Luca began to explain himself, jumping to the excuse of weed being the reason his rose pink eyes appeared glazed with tears, Pincher remained dead silent. When with someone privately, Pincher was a rather shy reserved male and only spoke when he believed it was right. The smooth talking was just a facade he pulled in the public so everyone that wasn't close to him would believe he was doing fine, that he was just perfect. His left fictional eyebrow quirked upward as the only response at first, watching with a hawk-like gaze onto Luca as the demon turned away and allowed silence to drift between them, almost tempting Pincher to say something but he knew he should wait for Luca to admit it. They always broke. It seemed that Luca began to explain in a somewhat vague explanation. A lot of things. He could understand that with his leadership, family, personal demons, and other duties that plagued his attention and thoughts. He blinked twice as his gaze locked back onto the misty gaze of Luca, noticing the color had changed to a pale shade of baby blue which caused his curiosity to peak even more. "What happened then? You can tell me but only if you feel safe in doing so." The gentleman rumbled with his tone hinted with a warm lace of comfort as he tipped his head ever so slightly to the side, the smoke from his cigarette dancing around him.

Then it appeared that Luca had shifted to attempt to change the subject, suddenly pushing the question for Pincher to focus on. A small frown twitched on his muzzle as he realized this but he decided to play along as he answered "No, I don't. Why would I? You're upset, there's nothing wrong with that." The dark jaguar shifted back as well, loosening his tail around the hellhound and withdrawing it back as he heard the next statement, rather taken back by it. His own jet black ears slightly pinned against his skull as he bit down on his cigarette before pulling it into his mouth and swallowing it, a small puff of final smoke flowing out of his muzzle before turning back to Luca. "I'm not pulling a stunt to make you go away. I just wanted to make sure." He rumbled as he raised a large paw to rub off some ash from his snow-white chest as he sucked in a small breath. He knew that Luca was probably irritated at the move he had pulled but it was something Pincher tended to do, breaking barriers to get a closer look into what he wanted.
