Erika immediately looked away after speaking, her cheeks flushed red.
"...Damn it."
Though she often shared her emotions, for once it seemed the blonde demoness looked genuinely embarrassed by her own words. The blue flicker of a mana stone reflected softly across her tanned cheeks while the night crowds of Vel'Ashera continued shifting around them obliviously.
Asmodeus watched in silence while enjoying every subtle change in her face and expression.
He then reached over and gently brushed a loose strand of golden hair behind her ear, causing the demon beauty to freeze.
The bustling streets around them suddenly felt strangely distant.
"Dear."
"Mhm?"
"Y-You can't touch me like that after such a line..."
He couldn't help but smile at her cute response, narrowing his eyes as she turned away slightly, hiding her flushed cheeks.
"Well, I can't help it when you look so delicate and cute."
Erika's blue eyes widened slightly, with a subtle glint.
