Quite sometime after changing, Ino realized that he should probably return Cyr's shirt. They all had limited apparel, and he didn't want the lust's perfectly formed abs being paraded around anymore than they naturally would be.
With that in mind, he looked around for the tall demon, and not seeing him, made his way over to Cyr's door. Hopefully he be out, and Ino could just leave the shirt on the bed and leave.

Cyr, still rather groggy from his impromptu nap, was milling around his room, slowly cleaning up from the morning's events. He'd just swept all his things back into one bag, and now he was struggling to untangle all his necklaces and other adornments from each other.
At the moment, he was sitting on his bed, trying to unhook an earring post from a shirt button without ripping the thread on his poor shirt. He was quickly running out of ones that were wearable, after all. The pants he'd been wearing had taken on a slight, strange discoloration, and the shirt Bezzie had been wearing had grown stiff after it dried, which he wasn't thrilled about at all.
He glanced up when his doorway darkened slightly. "Oh," he said, slightly darkly. "It's you. What do you want."

Ino's eyes narrowed a bit at the tone.
"I came to return your shirt." He said, walking over, dropping it on the bed. He meant to leave then. He really did. But...
"Do you need help?"
His small dainty fingers were probably better suited to Cyr's current task.

Cyr's eyes narrowed further. "Maybe you're new," he said, his voice a little low, a little annoyed. "But playing nice with someone you just clearly aggressed to feed off of isn't generally well received."

Ino rolled his eyes. "No, no. Demons have been feeding off each other since the treaty was signed and we have limited options. But if you're hungry, you have a plethora of options here. You and Val were getting rather cuddly."

Cyr stood up, putting down his shirt. "My means of feeding doesn't make enemies," he said in a low voice. "And I didn't realize that envy demons couldn't go two seconds without feeding. Or is that only the well mannered ones?" he said, staring down at Ino, all traces of sleepiness gone from his cold, gold eyes.

"Too bad I'm not a lust, I guess." Ino crossed his arms. "I don't know how long we're going to be in here. It could be days. It could be weeks. Months, even. I'm going to feed when I can." He hissed. "And I'd find a way to do the same, if I were you."

"Leave me out of it," Cyr snapped. "Unless you think you can make a fair fight against a lust demon twice your size." He advanced on him slightly. "I'm sorry you're mad I don't want to fuck you, but I'm tired of playing petty little games, so cut it out."

Ino looked startled, before breaking into a laugh. "You think that's what it is?" He snickered. "You think I'm mad that you're not into me? Ha, I wish I was a lust, that's one healthy ego! Hee..."
After a minute, he got himself under control, composing himself remarkably well. "Darling, I've got much bigger problems than wanting some cock. So I'm afraid I can't give up the chance to have a little snack~ Unless you have something better to offer me?~"

Cyr's expression hardened further. He was a good boy with highly regulated emotions. His formative years were as a pride demon with parents who'd rather die than show a fleck of their true feelings. And then his teenaged years had been the vulnerable misery of struggling to learn how to be himself with no guidance, no reassurance, and no kindness. And despite all that, he'd kept a gentle sort of nature, something slightly soft and timid behind a well put-together exterior. Usually in the face of frustration, he'd just self-destruct.
But if there was one thing he couldn't handle. It was being made a fool. It wasn't about Myut (though those emotions were complicated on their own, and perhaps their presence made everything worse.) It was about everyone else in his whole damn life always choosing for him, and never with his best interest in mind, and this stranger, this little brat, was just the icing on the cake and Cyr was seeing red. The muscles in his neck and a vein at his temple were standing out. Was the wrath demon nearby? He really wanted to hit this kid.
But it would be a problem if he did something that would leave a mark. He wouldn't be able to prove it, and surely the others would be so disgusted...
Cyr exhaled slowly, his expression filling with that mix of frustration, anger, and disgust he felt for this envy demon, for his parents, for that mystery demon he was supposed to marry, for every battering force in his life. "I hope you die alone," he said, his voice lower, quieter now. Steadier, perhaps, or slightly more unbalanced? "And that when you do, you know that no one will miss a selfish little bastard like you."

If there was one thing Ino was good at, it was hiding when it hurt. He was an envy, and his place was in the middle of Hell's cutthroat social games. He'd grown up over impossible expectations. He'd left home young and clawed his way into being someone. He'd nearly been out of the mire, nearly above it all, when some stupid green eyed bitch had knocked him off his tower right when he thought he was safe.
And yet, Cyr's statement hurt, because it cut into those new little fears of the wants he denied he had but had been there all along. The things he desired that he had to carve out of his being, because soft wants like that didn't belong in hell. The parts that were still bleeding when all he'd ever wanted was ripped from his grasp.
Ino had fought, lied, competed in these games for years, and one cruel statement wouldn't bring him down. "Sweetheart, I'm already dead." His eyes flashed. "If you could get with the program, it might actually get you somewhere."

Cyr balled and unballed one hand. "Well, if that's the case, you shouldn't need to feed then," he retorted. He had no idea what this guy was referring to, but it was probably some dramatic bullshit. Or maybe he was admitting to the fact that he was the reason they were all here, the culprit of the assassination attempt.
"Listen," his tone changed abruptly, still frustrated, but now tinged with distress instead of anger. "If you want to feed one someone, go hold hands with Bez and let her girlfriend glare at you. Just leave me alone. I have enough to deal with without you being an ass to me."

"I'd rather not, since I strongly prefer men," Ino checked his nails, then glanced at Cyr again. "If Bezabelle keeps flirting with you, even a distraction won't save you from Vivian, you know."
He was very good at pretending he was fine.

Cyr scowled ever so slightly, his shoulders drooping as he ran out of steam. He turned and sat back down on his bed, picking up his stupid shirt with the stupid earring stuck to it and resumed struggling to free one from the other. "Maybe it'd be better to let her bash my head in before we get out of here," he mumbled.

"Aw, no, don't. I'm sure at least one demon would be very sad if you did that," Ino leaned against the grand of Cyr's door, watching his struggle, refusing to quick.
