Nikki woke up that morning feeling genuinely refreshed. She hadn't gotten sleep in a few days and to get a full nights rest felt amazing. She was still groggy though, rubbing her eyes to wake herself up
Angels, Demons and Humans// Open!
Cicada looked over to where Nikki was now awake, "Morning little one."
"Morning" she replied, smiling smiled gently, pulling the blanket closer to herself. "It's cold in here" she whined, softly and sleepily.
Cicada snapped her fingers and lit the fire. She smiled at Nikki, "Is that better?"

"Are you getting anything?" She asked Axtin over her shoulder, holding a few t-shirts in her arms. She smiled lightly and looked over at the sweatshirts that he a looking at.
"I'm… considering it," he responded after a moment. Glancing over Aria's haul in her arms, Axtin assumed she had found plenty of clothing that was to her liking. So she was waiting on him then…
Cicada snapped her fingers and lit the fire. She smiled at Nikki, "Is that better?"
Her eyes lit up at the trick, "Yea." she replied breathlessly. She fire was gorgeous, she didn't think she had seen one anything like it before. The orange flames licked the top of the fireplace but never went past to what they were contained to.
Cicada grinned, “Perfect. The whole place will be warmer soon.”
"What're we gonna do today?" she asked. She kind of wanted to go back to Hell and discover her other house, see if there was a pool or something they could spend the day in.
“Whatever you want to do,” Cicada responded happily. She would let the mortal have control today.
"Do you have a pool at your home in hell?" she asked nonchalantly. She knew she didn't have a bathing suit but figured they could buy one.
“I believe I do yes,” Cicada had a light smile on, “Do you want to see it?”
"I would love to. Maybe we can spend the day at your house" she replied, shifting in the hammock.
"Are you getting anything?" She asked Axtin over her shoulder, holding a few t-shirts in her arms. She smiled lightly and looked over at the sweatshirts that he a looking at.
"I'm… considering it," he responded after a moment. Glancing over Aria's haul in her arms, Axtin assumed she had found plenty of clothing that was to her liking. So she was waiting on him then…
Aria nodded "I can help you choose if you can't decide, I think you need to get something that's a little more casual." She walked over to him and looked at the shirts in her arms, glancing at the sweatshirts from before.
"I would love to. Maybe we can spend the day at your house" she replied, shifting in the hammock.
Cicada laughed and stood up offering a hand, "We can do that. Come here."
She took her hand and got up, smiling at her as Cicada rubbed her thumb over her hand.
Cicada smiled back as she began her chant to return to Hell. She felt the familiar flames and pangs of growth of her wings and horns as they re-entered her home in Hell.
She stared in awe at her wings, her eyes deepening a shade darker as they made the transport to hell. "Your wings are gorgeous" she purred, smiling gently.
Cicada laughed as she smiled back spreading the wings out, "Is that so?"
"Mmm hmm," she hummed. She watched the colours shift in the sun, her gaze wandering across the scaled patterns and vibrant yet smokey colours that played out among them.
Cicada offered Nikki a hand, "So shall I show you this pool?"
"Please do" she replied, taking a hand
(Sorry I was off for so long, notebook.ai wasn't working)
Cicada grinned and lead Nikki to where the pool was. It wasn't Olympic sized, but it was fairly large, "What do you think?"
"I think we should go buy me a bathing suit" she replied, running her index finger over her arms. She soon kissed her gently.
Cicada smiled as she pulled back from the kiss, "Or you could borrow one of mine. I'm sure I can find something you look good in."
"Alrighty" she replied, kissing her back at a teasingly slow pace. She pulled away and looked into her eyes, "Shall we?" she asked, eyeing the house.
Cicada was on her private property, with no one there. If she wanted to she could do whatever the hell she wanted with Nikki, "We shall. Follow me little one."
She did as told, following her onto a stained black, wooden deck and into a tall, glass, sliding door. They made their way upstairs. She was extremely minimalistic, she could tell, for she barely had any decoration in her house at all. It was nice not to have clutter.
(cough Different house. This one is lot more decorated and less minimalistic as it's been around for quite a while.)
Cicada lead Nikki up the stairs into her walk in closet. She had thousands of outfits to choose from, from all different time periods. When in here one could really see how old the demon truly was. Cicada lead Nikki away from the dresses and towards a smaller subsection were she kept her bathing suits and athletic clothing.
(0ops…sorry. I thought the house would reflect her style in the "earth" world ((idk)))
Her eyes wandered through the walk-in closet. "Spacious" she purred, Cicada's hand on the small of Nikki's back as she led her over to the athleisure and bathing suits. Her eyes spotted a few she might've liked, but she wanted to see what Cicada wanted her to try on first.
(It's more she got bored of looking at blank walls lol.)
Cicada grinned and stopped at the center of the section. She looked around and pulled out a dark red swimsuit that had large cut outs on the side and a deep V-neck cut, "I know. What do you think of this?"
