[Continued from here]"If I were in Hyrule, I would be married by now," Zelda mused, watching Lucifer's face carefully. "My life would be so different than it is here and I probably wouldn't have a choice in who I had for a husband. Here, I've a choice as to who I want for a lover. It's thrilling and worrisome all at once

It was endearing, really, how...innocent she was. How her world was so different to the one I was used to. Of course, parties and back rooms - and then that experience in Pompeii - well, I had never had a normal life. All the perks of being a spy. I was always happy to make someone else's - a girl was beautiful as Zelda, especially - life more colourful.

"It would be my pleasure." This time, I believe, the words were really quite literal.

"I am sure it would," Zelda said lightly. "I've no illusions about love, Lucifer. I don't want you to think I expect anything other than pleasure."

Which was definitely good. Of course, some women just said that, but I was hoping she wasn't going to be one of those. I smiled at her, charming and wonderful as always, and kept walking. "I'm glad," I said and then added after a thoughtful moment - long enough to be considered thoughtful anyway, "thought you should never just discount love."

"Perhaps not," Zelda said, biting her lip slightly. "But I don't feel that strongly about you at this point. I am attracted to you, and intrigued about what happens beyond kissing, but love, no."
