[ She lets out a sudden and merry laugh at his accusation. ]

Oh, dear! You're really just giving it to me. [ Though she's less offended and more bemused at the idea of anyone just bossing her around.]

That was just harmless flirting Doctor. All that's happened is that he happened to pass by and we chatted.

[ And the guard looked at her, took in that faint scent that slowly started to invade his senses, listened to her voice and... Well, he got away and it wasn't as if she was going to latch onto him after he gave her his apple.

She takes a small bite of the apple, savoring its honeyed sweetness before continuing.

I'm not one to brag, but I'm not half-bad to look at you know. Some humans reaallllly like the horns.

[ Shrugging petulantly, Shuten turns her gaze away from him as she takes another bite of her apple. ]

I just wanna know what I'm working with here. After being summoned, my powers were a little too faint for my liking.

[ She'd just call it stretching her wings and such, that's all, honest! (It's testing the boundaries, seeing what she can get away with, with no Master or other Servants to keep her in check).

The oni gives a sideways glance towards Stephen; on the surface, she appears lazy and indolent and yet...
]

I'm not that foolish; I know when the cards are stacked against me and as far as I can tell, I'm behaving quite well for a demon.

... Though when it comes to trouble... [ Her lips move into a slight curve. ]

Are you promising me a good time? Doctor?

Hee. I'd need a bigger mouth to take huge bites.

[It isn't just her usual scent that is amplified and utilized to throw off aggressors. This version of Shuten-Douji is a small woman, someone who looked as if she could barely lift a twig. She may not be a giant and imposing monster, but there is a reason why she was one of the calamities of Japan. Shuten stands up from her seat, putting the apple down.]

You sound like you're constantly vigilant... I don't blame you.

[Shuten looks at him. Her violet eyes shimmer, accentuated by her painted eyelids. Her gaze is locked onto his as she takes two steps towards Stephen.]

If you're gonna keep an eye on me, well... Feel free to keep looking.

[After all, isn't Shuten-Douji lovely? There is something to her visage as a young woman. Pale smooth skin, slim shoulders, the sway of her hips, shining sleek hair, and again, that look in her eyes that signal some sort of enticing invitation. And even more so, her voice...]

I like to eat and drink, but I love it more when the ones I want feel as pleasant as I do.

[Low.]

Isn't it better when your mind and body want the same thing?

[Sensual.]

If you're worried about me devouring others, it would be much better if you kept looking at me right now.

[She is a pure poison that invades the senses.]
sakaya: (With a taste of your lips)

[personal profile] sakaya 2022-02-25 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ufufu. Don't tell me I took all the fight out of you now.

[As his words trail off, she's taken the opportunity to close the gap between them. Her voice and gaze are absolutely hypnotic at this range. Shuten can tell that Stephen hasn't completely fallen under her sway though. Weaker-minded men and beasts find themselves dumbfounded and unable to move when she fixes her focus on them.

So she pushes and pokes a little further, just a bit more, just to see if she can get this handsome face to tremble beneath her.
]

You are entirely too serious, Doctor.

[Her voice is a whisper and dripping with honey. Her presence is like stepping into a pool only to realize you're swimming in a fog of sweetness and death.]

But I do like playing around with serious-minded and brave humans. They look the most lovely when they're distracted...

[One finger reaches out to stroke the base of his neck, tracing it until she caresses his chin.]

So just let your thoughts melt away already.
sakaya: (Bloody Mary)

1/2

[Now she didn't see that coming.

Shuten is immediately caught off guard by the burst of magic that pushes her back. She manages to not completely get thrown about, skidding backward on her feet. When the oni looks up, her eyes are alert and her brow is wrinkled in confusion as well as caution.

A moment passes as she shakes it off...

Oh.

[That's the first thing that comes out of her mouth. And then with a wide smile, she follows up with another longer one.]

Ooooooh! I see, I see! Of course! You wouldn't just be any foolish human trying to lecture an oni. So you do have more than just arrogance. How silly of me to think otherwise! I almost got knocked off my feet there. That's not the kind of magic I'm used to in terms of the feel of it, but it's got the spirit behind it.

[Shuten appears to be pleasantly surprised by the sorcerer's retaliation. There's a skip in her step as she moves forward, though at a respectable distance this time.]

I guess these silly magi in Thorne wouldn't summon just anyone. Doctor, you've done it now. There is definitely some entertainment to be had and you're proof that I've barely skimmed the surface.

[She sighs dreamily behind the sleeve of her robe.]

Ah... It's like taking a tiny sip, no, just a drop of what's to come.

An agreement?

[Her curiosity is piqued further now that this magus wants to bargain with her. Clapping her hands together, she leans forward, interested to hear more.]

I'm allll ears, Doctor. You've really made me optimistic so I have to thank you even just a little, somehow.
sakaya: (Once it's gone)

[personal profile] sakaya 2022-03-12 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[The oni blinks in mild surprise at the sorcerer — he just keeps 'em coming. There's certainly no fault with his offer, none that she can immediately poke at anyway.]

How bold of you to offer yourself to me. Though... Hm.

[She is definitely mulling it over as taps her cheek and rests the elbow in the other hand.]

I was assuming you'd just exterminate me on the spot. Instead, you're being pragmatic even after I nearly made you go mad, drinking me in like that.

[She's trying to eke out his intentions, or something to that effect. It would only be natural that anyone with actual sense would single her out as a wildcard and a threatening one at that with no Master to anchor her down.]
sakaya: (entertain me now)

[personal profile] sakaya 2022-03-15 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's neither love nor hate... Mn.

[For a moment, she says nothing and angles herself so that she can examine Stephen. As a summon, Shuten would have never predicted it would take her to this place. There were so many humans and though it would be hard to hold a candle up to her Master's strength of character, the man before her was proving to be something else entirely.

And different isn't bad.
]

Welllll... If you're gonna play with an oni, then my one concession...!

[And she holds up a finger, wagging it at him playfully.]

... Is that you share a drink with me. You're handsome enough to make any alcohol I have taste better and it seems we'll have a loooot to talk about. I won't even try to nibble on you if that makes you feel better.
