Angels, Demons and Humans// Open!

(so would their homes be in hell or a taken over building on earth)

(Okay)

She groaned lightly and walked a little faster, trying to hide a smile. She pushed a thought out of her mind of Axtin and shook her head, blushing slightly.

Suddenly, Axtin lifted Aria into his arms, bridal style, and carried her into an alleyway. Once out of view of most, he began to mumble words that no mortal would be able to understand. There was a sudden flash as a swirling sigil printed with a star appeared only to give way into a portal. Not offering any explanation, the demon stepped through only to appear outside an average sized home. Setting Aria back down onto the ground, Axtin took her hand once again to lead her inside.
The inside was lavish and quite modern, decorated with variations of blacks, white, and some hints of purples and reds.
"Welcome home, love."

"Indeed I did," Axtin replied taking a set on the sofa with a roll of his shoulders. It certainly beat the constant war that earth was currently facing. He nearly smirked knowing that Aria finally was smiling about the current situation. He did tell her this was for her own safety.

Axtin raised a slight brow at Aria's position, but let it pass. She would warm up to him eventually. "Depends on what you have in mind. Something simple like card games or something a bit more fun like an outing?"

Taking a look at the mortal's attire, he hummed to himself. Simple didn't seem to suit her. "How about I take you shopping for a bit, hm? Find something you really like?" the demon offered. With this, she would match the newfound role of his companion to have around. Not as a pet or anything twisted as that. Axtin just felt curious as to what she would appear like in more formal wear.

(what I'm imagining is that usually humans in darker and fancier attire are usually kept safe by demons. Same with lighter attire with angels. Axtin would be one to follow this while Cicada probably would not seeing as she's fine with her companion as is.)

Aria thought for a minute before nodding, "Sure, that sounds fun." She stood up and smiled again, this time her smile big and bright. She walked over to Axtin and waited patiently for him.

Standing, he made his way towards the door once again. Axtin opened it with a pleased smile. "After you," he said, holding it open for Aria.

Axtin couldn't hold in his laughter. It was a cute gesture, but even if she did have money, it wouldn't work in their current situation.
"Your currency isn't used here," he explained after a brief chuckle. "Plus, you're my responsibility now. I should be allowed to treat my guest, shouldn't I?

Axtin laced his arm in one of Aria's keeping her on track. She had been walking in the complete opposite direction. He decided not to tease her about it as the surroundings were new. The demon sighed before giving his response.
"It's a tad similar in form, such as coins for instance. They have differently marked sigils representing their worth."

"Mostly, yes," Axtin replied. He was currently looking forward, paying no mind to Aria's glance at their interlaced arms. After a while there came to be more and more buildings, people milling about. Except they weren't people. They were more demons. Axtin hummed lightly as he lead his guest into one of the buildings. There were a few stares from others as they walked inside, but eventually they went back to their own business.
"Alright, let's see what we've got."

"Before the heavy distruction on Earth, no. As of more recent times, a few humans are seen about," Axtin replied, looking at a beautiful black dress with a touch of lace at the rim. Cracking a grin, he turned back to Aria. "Why? Are you nervous about others that aren't me looking at you?" the demon asked teasingly.

Axtin raised a brow at the question. It seemed to him that Aria had lost her smart mouth for the moment. It was quite odd. In complete honesty he had just been browsing, unsure of the woman's taste. "I didn't pin you for the type to ask before doing," he stated, expression still confused. He came a bit closer to the human until they were just a foot apart. "What happened to that spunk of yours, hm?" he joked.

Axtin rolled his eyes at the mortal's response. So much for her "nice" act. The demon really wasn't all too picky in what she picked. As long as it wasn't a pure colored white that those protected by angels wore, it would likely be fine. "Well, go try it on," he stated, making it clear he didn't quite care what she picked. In fact, the dress she was holding might look quite nice.
