Clara noticed that Alex had gone unusually quiet.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Do you know something about this Evil Spawn?"
Alex blinked and came out of his thoughts. He shook his head.
"I just arrived here. How could I know? Even you guys, who've been here for quite some time, haven't found it yet."
Clara paused, then gave a small shrug. "Well… you got me there."
James stepped forward. "Luc—"
He stopped midway, looking awkward. "I can call you Lucifer, right?"
Alex waved his hand casually. "Of course. Feel free to call me directly. I don't like honorifics or titles anyway."
James smiled faintly. "Alright then. Lucifer… if you don't mind, why don't you come with us? You seem strong. And we can help you adjust here. You said you just arrived today."
Alex thought for a moment.
'It wouldn't hurt to gather information from them.'
He nodded. "Okay. That works for me."
James visibly relaxed. "Alright then. But first…"
