Zavros stared at her. His gaze briefly moved toward Lux, who remained suspiciously comfortable with the first demoness draped over him like an affectionate ancient catastrophe. Then back to Lilith. "Tell me."
"I can help him negotiate with it."
Lux immediately lifted one hand and pointed toward Lilith. "Heard that? That's what I'm talking about."
"Lux… Stop sounding pleased."
"I just acquired professional assistance."
"You acquired—" Zavros stopped himself. A headache was beginning behind his eyes.

Somehow, none of those experiences had adequately prepared him for his son sitting in his office with Lilith wrapped around him while they casually discussed negotiating with the primordial embodiment of uncontrolled avarice.
"That's not how it works," Zavros finally said.
Lux shrugged. "If it can negotiate, it'll work."
"No, it won't."
