Juliet laughed. "Well you might want to get your stuff moved in first, but yeah I don't have any issues doing it with a teammate. Not that I've had anyone on the team take me up on it so far, but hey that's their choice."
"Really? None of them?" He raised an eyebrow. "What'd you do to scare them?" he just looked at her for a brief moment, just for emphasis. Then he chuckled. "Nah, I'm just kidding. And I might be considering it. Be a waste not to, at least."
He started folding her clothes together and putting them in a pile, preparing them to be moved. "So, you mind if I ask some questions about the others then?"
She smiled and continued cleaning off the bed and desk, mostly tossing things over her should to be hung up or tossed somewhere else later.
"Go ahead."
He handed a pile of clothes over to her. "Right, so, lemme see... any of them you get along especially well with? I feel like that'd be a good place to start."
"Hmm, well Sol's probably the most personable of them. Sierra's been gone a while but she's always been alright, used to room with her before she had to leave for training or something like that. Other than that I get along decently with most of them, Tomas is maybe the only one who outright acts like he dislikes me but then he seems to do that for anyone who knows what fun is."
She smirked "I know you've only just joined the team but I'm sure you've already got some impressions formed, what's your take on everyone so far?"
"My take?" Alfred gave her a shrug. "I don't have much of one yet, that's why I'm asking questions. I could've found out more before I got it, but that's no fun, right? I want to know what you guys think of each other, and what you're like." He smiled innocently and sat down on the bed.
"So, Sol first then. He's a hunter, right? What's he like? I got a bit of a mixed feeling of him."
"Friendly, independent, can be a bit cautious," she shrugged and leaned against the wall opposite the bed "I suppose he's clever, more so than most of the team at least. I suppose he has to be seeing as he doesn't have any personal magic."
Alfred kept folding clothes while he sat on the bed, and he nodded. "I'd reckon so. No magic, independent... Kinda odd that he's here, given his occupation. Do you know why he is here? If he's independent he's not here on behalf of anyone, right? And, you know. What's the thing with the hat?"
"You'd be better off asking him, about both of those, I haven't pried too much into his business."
She frowned briefly, perhaps that was something she ought to look into more. Then again she doubted it concerned her, and she already had enough on her plate with her own schemes.
"That's fair, I figured I should just try either way." He noticed that she frowned, but didn't say anything about it. "So, Sierra? That's the tall girl, right? The one who thought it'd be funny if we stayed in the same room?"
"Yep. I think she expected you to squirm or be nervous about the prospect like Will would be."
"Oh, I'll have to know what you mean about that later, but first; What's Sierra like?"
"She's a jerk, but in a good way. Keeps to herself a lot, doesn't take shit from people, that sort of thing. Oh yeah, and she's way too into some of those robot shows, I forget the name."
She thought for a moment and then added "Oh and her dad's been around sometimes, big demon knight guy, called Karis. Can't tell you much more about him but he seemed like a bit of an ass."
"Oh, him. Yeah, I've met him. Not sure I can tell you why though. Sadly there's secrets I need to keep because of what I saw while undercover. Anyhow, the others? Will, and Mira, and Daniel, and Tomas? What they're all like? What can they do?"
"Lets see, well Will is mostly a nervous kid, he's gotten a bit better about that I suppose but still. As for powers he can turn into metal, shape himself into different things like armor or weapons. Mira does alchemy, but you already knew that, she's pretty level headed and I don't think I've ever seen her panic."
She paused to collect her thoughts before continuing "Daniel was one of the more recent additions to the team before you, he's acts serious pretty much all the time, which I guess makes sense seeing as he's an angel or something like that. Tomas is half-dragon so he does, like, dragon stuff. Takes himself way too seriously and is a bit of a fun-killer, so yeah dragon stuff."
Alfred considered everything Juliet said, it said something about the others, and it said something about her, and he was starting on his picture of the what the team was like. "Dragon, half demon, angel, succubus and so on... interesting group." He smirked.
"So, how about you? What can you tell me about you?"
"My favorite subject," she said, half-joking "I'm just a girl who likes to have fun. More seriously what in particular do you want to know?"
"Well, what are you doing here? What are you studying? What can you do?Who are you as a person? Anything, really," he tilted his head. "Oh, and if you have any questions for me, I could answer some in return for your answers."
"As for what I can do a whole bunch of things, shapeshifting for one," in demonstration of this she changed her facial features, darkening her skin and sprouting her horns before reverting back "I can look like pretty much anyone I want, and I have a few animal forms as well. I can also fly when I grow wings. I've got some other stuff beyond that but first I want to know what all you can do, I heard you had some sort of air related power?"
"Oh, right onto the power? I can see where your interests lie." He gave her a joking nudge, then smiled.
"Well, it's basically controlling air. I can fly, I can use it against people, but the strongest part of it is that I'm pretty much unkillable. There's a shield, you see, the more pressure you apply to it, the more it resists naturally. So it returns any force that's applied to it. It's just wind too, and somehow it acts instantly, without me even having to think about it." He held his hand out and levitated his phone.
"But yeah, that's what I can do. So, how many missions have you been on? And what have they been?"
"That must come in handy," she mused "as for missions only a few, but one was a trip to the demon world so that was fun."
"Well, it keeps me from dying, so yes, it's very handy," he replied, and handed her the last of the items that belonged to her. "That should be it for your stuff. And yeah, I've heard about you guys going to the demon world." He had to keep himself from calling it hell, considering that it wasn't actually hell. "That's where you're from, isn't it? Was it odd being back?"
"I suppose so, I've never considered it to be my home but there was a sense of familiarity being back there," she said "I suppose maybe it was just because being there makes demons stronger."
"Does that mean you're weaker now than you normally would be?" Alfred asked, trying to keep himself from sounding more interested. He couldn't help it, the aspect of power always made his interest peak up. "Are you the strongest one here? Or is any of the others stronger than you?"
"Heh, and here you were saying it was my interests that lay with power," she teased "yeah I suppose I'm weaker now than I would be there, I'm not going to get into how strong I am compared to the others though that'd be pointless, you can hardly measure power in a vacuum after all."
"Well, I meant more like, who'd beat who in a fight. I mean, you've got to have throught about it, right?" He smiled innocently. "And I'm not that interested in stuff like this, but I got sorta curious now."
"Hmm, no I can't say that I have, but then who plans to have a fair fight anyways?" she said, then nodded to the remaining clothes she was holding "anyways I should get these put away so you can unpack."
She smirked. "Of course if you want we can break in your bed before that."
He looked at her. "You're actually serious? Well. I'd definitely be up for it at some point, but..." he scratched his nose. "If you're not teasing me, I'd be up for it tonight. Right now I should get my room ready and put my bedding on, and, you know. All that."
She laughed "fair enough, I'll leave you to it then."
Alfred nodded. "So, later then? Tonight? You're not fooling me, right?"
"Sure, assuming you haven't changed your mind of course," she said. She had half a mind to deny him later just to tease him, but no she wasn't about to sour things with her new roommate that quickly. Particularly not when she was curious what flavor he might have.
"Ah, yeah. I'll probably not, but you know. I'll let you know if I do. I'll see you in a bit, I need to get my room in order." He walked her over to the door. He examined her, thoughtfully, though his mind was rather chaotic right now. "It was nice chatting, though, Juliet. Thanks for answering my questions."
"Anytime."
He gave her a wave, then closed the door and started going through his suitcase, though he quickly sat down, baffled, body feeling hot and warm and jittery with nervous energy.
"Oh god. Looks like I'm going to have sex with a succubus. I'm going to need a shower."
"Really? None of them?" He raised an eyebrow. "What'd you do to scare them?" he just looked at her for a brief moment, just for emphasis. Then he chuckled. "Nah, I'm just kidding. And I might be considering it. Be a waste not to, at least."
