"Oh... dinner? Well, I was not quite sure what you would say about me tidying up and staying in the place, so I made a 'peace offering' of sorts. I heard about how Dinero Palace went into shambles and... well... since Maederas was not here, I thought I would have somewhere to go. Since you pillaged it so, I thought you were done with it..."
She looked at her fidgeting fingers rather cutely, but with a sad look in her eyes.
"He... and I had quite the falling out... and he burned our contract to leave me with nothing. Since you didn't occupy the other castle, I just thought I'd start playing hostess again and give shelter to people passing by. The cold out here tends to leave travelers lost... heh... I guess I'm still too soft-hearted after all these centuries. I wasn't supposed to be a demon, after all..."

Boogie hides a smile behind his hand as he slides over to Emily and whispers, "I told you he was afraid of sexy women. Try not to play it too coy with him, he might think of it as an attack."
Boogie turns to Laharl once more and continues, "While one such as myself is somewhat numb to the cold, I imagine for you it is rather unpleasant. Suspicious you may be, but would it not be wise to gamble on this lady's hospitality? Even if things turned violent, you could fight by the nice, cozy fire."

Maderas ignores the cold, his hair sways in and out of his face. His eyes focused on Emily, he still wondered on the situation. She was always polit, he heard what she said he then spoke "It is rather cold..food you say? You always were a good cook Emily.." he looked at her and away again.

Laharl was still uneasy by the coyness of the woman and her body as well, his eyes trained on her in case she decided to come closer to him.
"Food you say?"
He raised a brow at the offering, still a bit suspicious, but he could always make Maderas sample everything first; just in case. He cackled loudly and uncrossed his arms, nodding his head to the offer and he ushered the prinnies forward; intending on entering the now re-occupied castle.
"Very well, show me in!"

"I'm sure you'll enjoy the dessert! Chocolate-covered black pretzels!" she beamed.
It was hard to tell who that comment was directed to... the Prince, or Maederas. Her hands were clasped happily as she ushered her guests in. She was genuinely happy when she was entertaining, and seemed to ignore the fact that it was Maederas.
Though deep down, she wondered why he was so distant. Emily doubted he had a heart.
"The main course is Mooboo Prime Rib! Got some truffles all the way from Blair Forest for the sauce! I also have Duck's Blood soup and dumplings. Shall I take the capes of you and your guests?"

The sound of food was delightful. He then walked in after Laharl giving Emily his cape. He had wondered why she was so poilite after what he did to her.
"Thank you Emily, im sure the food will be exquisite" he said with a smile. He would just go with it, being wary of course.
He eyed the black pretzels for a second, they reminded him of his failed attempt. He scanned the room and noticed a familiar face sitting down along side a woman and a prinny.
"Maderas, glad you could make it. Its been quite sometime has it not?. "Armand said with a slight smile.
Maderas was surpirsed to see Armand of all people here. "What would these two be doing here?. Still it is good to see them I suppose" he thought. "Yes quite sometime my old friend, I take it your doing well?"
He then sat down at the edge of the table across from Armand, an empty chair was nearby.

Boogie remains to the side, quietly gauging the situation. Laharl seemed to be sufficiently appeased, this was good. The important thing was to get at Maderas with Laharl's consent. Eliminating a vassal was like a made man in the mafia, there had to be a sit down and a strong case about why he needed to be whacked, or the one seeking to off him would end up in a casket.
Boogie recalls that he has yet to eat a proper meal and takes a seat as well.

He was being nice himself... that made her wary. Of course being beaten by a child would probably have taken what ego he had and perhaps he learned to appreciate kindness and hospitality.
Hanging up the capes in a nearby closet, she went over to stoke the fire and add another log. The plates and silverware were ready for whomever desired to have a slice of something off the table. The zombies, however, had a table of their own to the side, as Emily had learned from the last couple of tries that having them at the table troubled guests.
"I know you are probably wondering why I have yet to say anything about Maederas, but I also realize that you are royalty, Prince Laharl. To say anything against your choice of vassal is to say something against your decision on who serves you. It is not my intention to get Your Highness mixed in my own personal affairs, but being that he is now your vassal, I realize that brings you into the equation. To lash out at one of your vassals surely means to lash out at you... am I right?"

Boogie leans in, resting his chin on his hands. Here is where things were going to get tense. Whether Laharl was going to allow a little infighting was important to his own ends. He needed a fight in front of Laharl to show off his newly acquired power. He was also a little curious what Emily would think of his talents. Regardless, a fight with Maderas sounded like fun.

Laharl chuckled at Emily's concern, his eyes lighting up as he nodded his head; his arms finally relaxed as he got used to her presence. He still refused to get close to her physically, but she didn't seem all that bad to him.
"Say what you want, I don't care. This idiot is only here because of Etna anyway; I would have preferred to kill him. But she insisted on keeping him as her slave, so he became my vassal."
He turned an eye on Maderas to reiterate his meaning, knowing full well the demon knew of his position and wouldn't dare turn on Laharl; or else he surely would die this time. No matter any complaints from Etna, or any others for that matter.
"Are we going to eat soon? I'm hungry and I don't have time for this crap; there are other demons that need some sense beaten into them around here. Don't waste my time."
