[journey-to-the-attic]

Ik meeting OM Mephistopheles after being Nightbrought and he's immediately like "CHILD? ADOPTED. MINE"

Thought he'd be all haughty about there being a human in the Devildom? Nope, he's too busy cooing over her tiny hands and buying her funny little magic toys

ik: h-

mephistopheles:

NO more attendant for the brothers this is HIS kid now

#answering asks #anon asks #ik gets nightbrought #ik doesn't mind the doting but she's also a little freaked out about it #so she attempts to deflect the attention onto luke and it sorta works a little bit #but then mephistopheles gets it into his head that she's deflecting because she thinks luke's more worthy of attention #and is immediately like KINDRED INFERIORITY COMPLEX? DOUBLE ADOPTED #though it'd be nice for her to have someone who's immediately determined to take care of her right off the bat after being nightbrought #she's just not used to mephistopheles' dogged insistence on spoiling her since y'know. she didn't exactly have that growing up #and the brothers in the present generally aren't as loud about it
