At roughly 3:19pm, there was an explosion of purple sparkles in D's main sitting room and a delayed, eerie echo. There was a final pop and just above D's coffee table floated a very mysterious priest. He brought his face really close into Count D's, inspecting him in a very up-close and personal manner.

"... Ah, so it's true, Mister D," Xelloss remarked. "You aren't human after all!"

Only smiling in response, D stared back into Xelloss' face.

"Care for some tea or sweets?"

[tricky_mazoku]

"There's no need," Xelloss confirmed with a grin, "... but I'm sure you've figured that out already, hm?"

D straighten in his chair, setting his cup down on the table in front of him.

"Of course, but it's just a matter of curiosity." His smile softened in a friendly manner. "I think a more formal introduction is needed." Standing to his full height, D bowed his head respectfully at the Mazoku.

"Count D is at your service, sir."

"Ah, a count!" Xelloss exclaimed, floating comfortably cross-legged in midair. "How intriguing. It's been many years since I've last met a Count. Such a strange title..."

Despite declaring that he certainly didn't need any sweets just moments before, Xelloss helped himself to a generous slice of cake.

Sitting to the left of D, Junrei's eyes were filled with tears as she regarded the new creature in D's shop.

Despite her noble linage, she had never laid her eyes on such a creature before. Giving only a small whimper, she tilted her head in to touch D's shoulder, hiding from the odd beast floating in front of her.

The sound of a whimper certainly drew Xelloss's attention to the young 'girl' seated beside D. His smile only became friendlier - or, perhaps, to the girl, more sinister.

"My, my! You're a familiar face, indeed," Xelloss observed. He moved in closer to the young girl with a deceptively friendly expression. "You are not so far removed from your relatives on my world, Miss."

Sensing no real hosititaly in Xelloss' intentions, he allowed the interaction, slipping an arm around Junre's shoulders to keep her calm.

Blinking back a tear as her bottom lip trembled, Junrei's voice rang out softly in response. "Relatives? Really?"

[tricky_mazoku]

"Of course," Xelloss confirmed. "I've seen plenty of dragons over the years. My personal favorites are the goldens."

[3_for_one]

Her sad expression vanishing in an instant, Junrei stared up at Xelloss in childish adoration.

"I've never seen another dragon before! I thought my sisters and I were the only ones of our kind!"

Xelloss giggled. Oh, the naivete of this young dragon specimen!

"Unfortunately You're certainly not the only ones, my dear," he said as his giggling died down. "I can personally vouch for that."

[3_for_one]

"My name is Junrei! What's yours?"

[tricky_mazoku]

"I am Xelloss, the Mysterious Priest," Xelloss giggled, his eyes sliding smoothly open. "I'm certain we'll be seeing plenty of each other while we're here, Miss Junrei."

[3_for_one]

"I'm so glad, Mister Xelloss," Junrei replied, giggling to herself.
