"It's already happened?" Renata looked back at her, eyebrows raising

"Well, no. Not today anyway"

Charlie was just smiling politely as much as she could between the two males glaring at each other. But the nervous tick she was used to seeing from Charlie, the way she played around with her fingers, made Renata feel more protective of her. This is why, Renata thought, males shouldn't be put into positions of power.

That bloody ego of theirs

That made the demoness fake a smirk, red eyes trained on the trio "I forgot you hated musicals almost as much as I hate love triangles" She murmured, focused, and thinking this through. She couldn't just blow off the roof and bury Alastor alive, right?

That would be unethical

She would shove him into the abyss instead and let it tear his soul apart atom by agonizing fucking atom

Vaggie groaned "Please. If you start with the book references again, I'm never letting you step foot in this place" With the spear in hand, Renata didn't doubt it. But what she did doubt, was that Vag could hold her off. His hand settled on Charlie's other shoulder now, and Lucifer's eye twitched

Renata was already heading in their direction, claws threatening to come out. Vaggie seemed to redirect for the bar, but her eyes were on Charlie. Despite Alastor's back facing away, his head was the first to turn, snapping back with an echoing crack. Even his bones were dramatic. The air around him became static, and she heard radio noises for an ominous second. That, for some reason, made her smirk at the sight. She was glad to be as much of a bother to him as he was to her

"Oh! The lovely darling has arrived. What a pleasure" His static voice drawed out, as his body snapped to face her. His grin seemed unnaturally wide, and now, strained "We were just telling your father about the lovely hotel Charlie and I build" He took her hand, ran his thumb over it before he kissed it, and definitely was committing her scowl to memory

Renata snatched her hand away

Lucifer's scowl was like a mirror image of hers. He shoved Alastor back and Lucifer grinned happily, that mega vat smile that made you believe that he may have indeed been an angel once "Sweety! Oh, you look fashionable! Setting new trends, I see, I see. How's the Uh- partying going?" The devil extended a hand to pull her in a big hug, shoving Alastor further aside. "Are the leaves in your hair practical? If you like that, it's all that matters" She just huffed, but with an air of amusement. Twigs and leaves in her hair didn't seem to fit even Hells criteria

Charlie looked relieved, her shoulders sagging. She was probably grateful for the distraction. She sighed, and clasped her hands "Ok! All of us are finally here" She gave a look at Renata, like she was wondering whether she should come closer or not. Alastor glared, and she swore his smile almost wavered.

Lucifer's hand settled on her arms after he pulled away from the hug "We have to show you around your sister's hotel."

"You do. It's quite...colorful here. Who's idea was it to decorate?"

"Alastor's" Charlie said proudly

She looked over at her sister "I should have guessed. It hurts my eyes looking at it almost as much as he does"

Lucifer laughed and went to tug her away. She tensed when she felt another hand settle on her shoulder, stopping him. "Hm, I think I, as the owner of this hotel can do that just fine for Ms. Morningstar" Lucifer glared. Renata had the urge to cut his hand off, already feeling her demon form emerging, lenchtening her claws in warning for any unfortunate soul close enough to feel it. Ms Morningstar. Darling. Love. All his ridiculous nicknames. But never Renata
