He'd thought it would be safe to take Sarah on a small outing to the park, while Kolt and the twins napped. He hadn't stretched his wings in a long while, after all, and Sarah was getting old enough to where she could toddle around and keep her wings hidden. There were plenty of grounds across the mansion, of course, but they didn't have people - and even mute, sometimes he still just liked being among mortals, listening to their quiet chatter and being reminded the small family he'd somehow gotten adopted by weren't the only people left in the world. It was good for Sarah to meet children she wasn't related to (or pseudo-related to) as well, normal kids she could play with.

Besides, it was Easter, and the park was having an egg hunt. How could he deny the little two year old her first egg hunt, when she gave him such big puppy eyes asking to go? Her wings were small enough not to be noticed under her clothes, after all, and anything she said about her parents having wings or flying would be disregarded as a child's imagination. He smiled, scooping up the little girl all decked out in pink after he'd made sure she had her basket, wandering out to a balcony and unfurling his wings. He took off with the ease of years of practice, and within ten minutes of flight he was fluttering down in the woods of the park, Sarah giggling in his arms.

He set her down on her feet, tucking his wings safely beneath his hoodie before walking out with the toddler, registering her for the egg hunt that would be starting in the next half hour - something that took a little bit of time, since he had to write down everything due to the inability of either of the registrars to speak sign language. Once that was done, he wandered towards the edge of the crowd where the play equipment was, setting her in the swing and gently pushing as she giggled, her hands still gripping her little pink basket tightly.

Easter. What a pathetic holiday. To the mortals, the Christian ones, at least, it meant everything. The day their precious Lord had risen from the dead and become Risen. Ha. If only they knew the true form of the Archangel, his little brother, and the current state of Heaven. It was falling apart at the seams, becoming less of a safe place and more of a target for the demons. Lucius was finding more and more ways to sneak in, to infiltrate the place and turn angels against their God. It was easy, almost too easy, but he still had not reached his more important target - his brother. Without destroying his brother, who was only marginally weaker than himself, he would never truly have perfect control over anyone and everyone. He would only be able to control the demons and the mortals, because after he was cast down to Hell, he was given free reign over the pricks up on earth. Too bad for them.

Chuckling, the tall, toned fallen angel slunk through the trees of the park, his hands in his pockets and a cigarette between his lips. The smoke was curling up around his face, black eyes dark and dangerous. Every so often he would reach up and take the cancer stick out from between his lips and breathe out a puff of smoke. He was silent aside from his heavy, black combat books clunking against the earth beneath him. He was busy contemplating ideas inside his fucked up head. He held the cigarette between his fingers as he leaned against a tree, gazing out at the crowd forming in the park. There were plenty of children around today, part of the reason why he had come out here today. He had a creepy, disgusting obsession with children. His lips curled into a sneer, black tresses falling into his eyes as he dropped the cigarette and crushed it beneath the toe of his boot. It was then that a figure caught his attention.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? He grinned maliciously to himself as he suddenly started forward, his own black wings hidden. He reached the father-daughter pair just as he set his daughter down on the swing. He knew that Toby would not be happy to see him here, but Lucius surely didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to say hello to that precious little girl sitting on the swing. "You didn't tell me you had a daughter, Toby," he called out, his voice meant to be startling. He walked up to the side of the swing, smiling charmingly down at the little girl. "What's your name, sweetie?"

If his wings hadn't been hidden beneath his hoodie, they likely would have mantled at the sudden, all too familiar voice. Instead, he turned with a fierce scowl, shifting to put his body in between his daughter and the devil. "You didn't tell me you had a daughter, Toby," His lips thinned into an unamused look, his eyes narrowing at the man. "For good reason, now leave us be." He signed, his fingers moving too quickly for the little girl to read. He wasn't going to let Lucius near his daughter, not if he could help it - she was his baby girl, after all.

He bristled more as Lucius stepped closer. "What's your name, sweetie?" He moved to block the demon's path, a few seconds too late as Sarah beamed up at the man innocently. "M'name's Sarah!" She exclaimed, her little feet kicking slightly to make her swing go higher, her father watching anxiously and keeping himself between her and the demon king. "You gonna egg hunt, mister?" She was so naive, not even realizing anything was wrong as she looked up at the stranger, her dark brown eyes (so like her other father's) wide and sweet.

"Toby signing looks like this!"
"Sarah speaking looks like this!"
"Other characters talking looks like this!"

As expected, Tobias was unamused at Lucius being so close. The devil could only smirk, leaning against one of the poles that held up the swingset, his eyes following the young girl as she kicked her feet back and forth, sending the swing higher and higher. "For good reason, now leave us be." He didn't have to look at Toby to know what he was signing, he could easily pick out the words from inside his head. "Now, now, Tobias, don't start giving me commands. I outrank you. Remember that." Lucius sent the words directly into the other man's head, his smirk growing as he took a glance toward the much younger individual.

"M'name's Sarah!" His eyes, black and devious, turned back onto the little girl and he smile, waving at her as she swung. "That's a pretty name," he replied, hooking a thumb into his pocket. "You gonna egg hunt, mister?" Egg hunting? Was that what was going on today in the park? That explained why there were so many young kids around. He tilted his head to the side, considering the question. "Hm, I don't have anything else to do today. Why don't I join you and your Daddy?" Of course he would ask the young girl the question and not her father. "You know what happens when people deny me, Tobias."
