Taking care of livestock, serving a king, having a physical body, these are all vast improvements from the loathsome oneness of the other place. But Lucilius's attention span is fickle and his interest waning, he despises falling into routine. Even this rich and colorful life has its limits, and it lies on his shoulders to continuously avoid hitting them. When he gets dangerously close to doing so, that means it's time to bring in something to heighten his entertainment once more.
Unfortunately for Chevalier, this particular task is assigned to him whether he knows it or not. He's the first person Lucy spots in his rather aimless wandering, and he's about as good as the next so with a smile, the brunet saunters on over. Tossing his arm around the other's shoulders--because who doesn't like over familiarity where it isn't due?--he beams at the other vampire.
"Greetings! What's the royal consort up to on this fine..." well, they're underground so Lucilius isn't too certain what time of day it is, so he takes a guess. "Evening!"

He hears the strigoi coming up before the arm wraps around his shoulders, the voice sings in his ear. How absolutely horrid. Chevalier rolls his eyes at the other strigoi's presence, though does at least spare him a glance. "Hello," is his reply, though not too much more after that.
He allows the man to figure out the time, though he's terribly wrong about it, and he perks a brow at him. "It's 4:30PM," he replies with an unimpressed tone. "You do know, Lucy, that they've invented watches. And, wouldn't you know it? They're still around!"
He gasps softly, looks surprised, then glances over to the brunette once again. "And, I know this might be difficult for you to realize, but they sell them! Here! In Paris!" Such a little smartass.

Oh, 4:30 is it? Throughout Chevalier's whole performance Lucilius's expression falls slightly. It's fun when he dished out his false merriment and occasion smart mouthing, but having the tables turned is enough to make him frown.
Oh well though, there's nothing saying he can't just play along. "4:30, evening, what's the difference?" He waves his hand dismissively. "I'm far more interested in these watches. Surely you've got one then, hm Chev?" He can play the nickname game too.
Drawing back and moving to examine his nails, Lucy continues. "Seeing as my ignorant self is clearly not in possession of one, guess this means you have to be my personal clock. Be ready to tell me the time when I need it, okay?" A singsong smile is curling on his lips again.

"Of course I have one," he replies, eyes narrowing as he looks the other man in the eyes. Then, it becomes all too clear why the strigoi asks if he has a watch. "No, fuck you," he states calmly and turns on his heels to pull away from the irritating leech. He's had about enough of this man and he'd rather not be around him for much longer.
"If you'll excuse me, I have things to do." Things like mindlessly walk the catacombs, possibly feed, take a nap, and when the sun sets, he plans on going to the surface. Such a busy schedule this man has.
"Surely you're busy yourself."

Chevalier's retort has Lucy outright laughing. Clutching his stomach for comedic effect, he exclaims, "No need to be so stingy, Wristwatch!" He's still laughing as the other is walking away, but a few haphazard strides and he's in sync with the other's steps.
"Hmm nope! I'm not busy at all so share a bit of your packed schedule with me. I could use the work." Which is a glorified way of saying he's going to tag along with whatever Chevalier is doing.

Eyes closed, he starts to walk away, though is quickly inturrupted by the click click clicking sounds of the other male's shoes. Chevalier's eyes shoot open in a wide-eyed glare at the nickname and he pauses to look at Lucilius.
So full of complete shit, Chevalier despises this man. "Go find your own schedule to invade. Mine is full. No exceptions." A sneer, an upturned nose as he crosses his arms, eyes narrowed all the more. "And don't call me Wristwatch."

Oho has he struck a nerve? Gleefully doing the exact opposite of what Chevalier wishes of him, Lucilius doesn't show any signs of backing off.
"We're both strigoi here, I don't understand why you must be so uptight. Loosen up!" He has to think of some bullshit reason to invade Chevalier's time though. "Your schedule is probably more fun than anyone else's so humor me eh?" He pokes the man's cheek. "Wristwatch?"

When that pointed finger pushes into his cheek, Chevalier turns to slap Lucilius' hand away, growling at him as he pushes against his chest. "Don't touch me," he glares, staring at him for a few moments as he makes his point known before he turns to start walking again.
"Unfortunately, we are both strigoi, but this doesn't mean anything. So what if we're both strigoi?" He can't believe he's still talking to this... this... annoyance.

Lucy is fairly taken aback when the other positively snaps, but he's unperturbed outside of shock and certainly unyielding to the nasty look Chevalier is sending him. He could make a comment about how frightening he looks but for once, the strigoi holds his tongue. The slight smirk still on his face could do his talking for him.
"Well, nothing," he cedes, shrugging his shoulders. "But it sounds like something that should be meaningful!" He personally doesn't hold much value to it either. He decides it's about time to get a tad more serious though.
"Anyways, what exactly is on this packed schedule of yours? If you make it convincing enough I might just back off." That's a lie but maybe it'll get him to talk more.

Seriously? Still?! He stops again, throwing his arms down in a slight tantrum as he rolls his eyes and lifts his head to look up and away. "If you must know, I'm going to go feed."
He hates saying that. It makes him sound like some kind of animal, which he supposes he is, now.
"Satisfied?"

Oh yes, Lucilius is very satisfied with this answer. But that alone doesn't guarantee he'll leave. Quite the opposite, actually. Poor Chevalier.
"Ooh that sounds good, I think I'll join you," he decides, with a note of finality. He ignores every single sign that Chevalier wants him to go with ease. "I'd love to say I can tell you which livestock taste the best but... they're all rather bland in my opinion. Not much a difference from one to the next." Who in their right mind would think talking about feeding to the head of livestock would get the latter to leave?

That answer doesn't bode well with him.
"No," he states as he lifts a finger to point at the other strigoi, eyes cold as they lock onto Lucilius'. "Absolutely not."
Chevalier likes to eat alone, usually just one-on-one with the victim he chooses to drink from, which was going to be Judah, but so much for seeing him tonight.
"I don't eat in groups."

The absolute chilliness of Cheavlier's stare only heightens Lucilius's interest. Shaking off the rejection smoothly, the brunet heaves a dramatic sigh.
"You wound me," he begins. "I'm getting the feeling you don't like me very much." He's known from the beginning that Chevalier isn't fond of him, but it's fun to keep up the pretense that he doesn't. "Which is a shame because I'm fairly interested in you. You weren't a Djinn originally, isn't that right?" If what he's heard is correct.

His expression falters ever so slightly at that statement, the one about his origins. A thick swallow and he glances down, then up again. "That's... that's correct, yes," he replies softly. "Why?"
Why? Did he just ask why? Chevalier knows why Lucilius asked him about his origins. Because he was a human once upon a time. One of the very creatures that he's head of.
So, what is he getting at?

As a strigoi made from a Djinn, his original form, Lucilius has no real experience being human. He knows absolutely nothing about the beings he takes charge of, so maybe that's why they've held his interest for so long. When he says he loves them, he doesn't really think he's lying. But they should know better than to expect a human definition of a feeling from a creature who's never been.
How interesting to know the rumors are true though! It's next to impossible to tell what a strigoi used to be, so word of mouth is the most reliable source. And this has Lucilius awfully curious.
"Oh, nothing much. I'm in charge of the ones we keep captive, so it's something that particularly interests me, humans turned strigoi." He pauses. "I love them, you know, so I guess I wonder: do you remember what it was like to be one?"
