Lulu
"I'm terribly sorry for how I acted earlier."
A voice that sounded like Lulu's suddenly rang in his head.
"Would you like to have some tea with me? I promise I'll behave now, You'd probably be interested in what I have to offer you...." All while this voice was talking directly to him, Lulu was still sitting on the couch and sipping her tea.
"Oh and I'm afraid burning your house down won't be as helpful as you think!" This time her voice came from the living room.

He suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. Despite being dead set the moment he began, despite his resolve, something made him stop. His gaze was now travelling to that pretense maid, icy as ever. But it was nowhere near as icy as the chill down his spine. How did she...
He closed his eyes, and chuckled a little. He turned to his two maids with a look as candid as ever. "Will you two be dears and wait for me in the car? Take good care of mother for a bit."
The two looked confused, glancing at themselves with a concerned look. Just as they were about to speak, he interrupted. "Shhhh. Your voices are not to be wasted on other ears. Don't worry, it won't be long."
With that, they bowed and nodded before leaving. Once the door closed, his eyes did too; However, when he turned to Lulu, there was no trace of that gentle demeanour. It was as if that man had two sides to him. Fire and water, love and hate, light and shadow...
He sat down right in front of her, still as ice. But his gaze burned. He took a sip of the tea. It was good tea, he had to give her that, but he didn't like tea.
"What." He set down the cup tensely and just stared right through her...
Bern:
Lulu
"Oh my, that is some good fire in your eyes, I like it. But rest assured there's no spies here, I simply read your mind like an open book, it's a bit hard to stop honestly given how powerful my ability is. Didn't I tell you so in that lets say unique dream of yours? Perhaps I didn't, I can be quite incoherent, comes with always hearing the bustle of the city." She put down her cup like him and glanced at him.
"You don't like tea." It wasn't a question. "I suppose I should have prepared something more palatable but it was the only thing I had on hand. You may want to call them in from the car as this will take more than five minutes to unpack, since I want you to have a clear a picture as possible before we proceed. Actually no, it won't even work in the first place unless you know all the details." She breathed in, it was more for the sake of inserting a pause to her monologue so that he'd have an easier time comprehending it, than a need for her to actually breathe.
"As you might have figured out, I'm not a human and my purpose here is to put bluntly, make a contract with you for my amusement but you would benefit too both immediately and in the long run."

His eyes should have widened at that absurd revelation. However, all he could do was look on, determined as ever. So she could read thoughts... this would explain everything. Yes, perhaps he'd test this little theory then.
"They will wait. They are loyal subjects."
I will not forgive anyone who threatens my eternal throne. Not you, nor anyone. "You say you seek to aid me for your own amusement? What a gorgeous ideal. What is life without joy, or a world without laughter? Yes, I can sympathize..." But who do you think you're speaking to? I am not some clown to be dressed in motley for your entertainment.
I am Vega. And you seem to misunderstand our roles.
"So go on? Tell me dear, why should I accept?" If you think I'm interested in a dog's honeyed tongue, you are mistaken. Or is wagging it all you can do?
Bern:
Lulu
"And how would helping you actually realize that eternal throne make you a clown? It's your journey I want to see, the beauty of your peerless being as you reach the top, not some cheap act from a bad play."
She leaned forward slightly at the next part. "Ah yes I'm beneath you, everyone is beneath you, especially that girl who beat you up and had to carry you back home earlier. Your pride far exceeds your current capabilities, it's your biggest weakness."
