As Amatricina began to spill some of her personal info to him, Hondrias let out a small exhale- of which was used as a sort of way to keep his surprise from completely leaking out and ruining his calm and intimidating composure that he had worked so hard to set up. Her name and parent name rang a bell in his memory, something the AI, the one that helped incubate him, informed him ringing loud and clear. The demon race, of which he was so lucky as to have a bit of their blood in his own collection of DNA, all had names akin to that of Amatricinas. But, to avoid screwing up his only chance at social practice in a few weeks, he decided to inquire more about that later on. Amatricina held Hondrias' attention right in her tight grasp, and he wasn't attempting to struggle against her allure anytime soon. He, as cocky as it did sound, thought that his own charm would overpower hers in time. But enough with the internal debating, he thought. The show must go on! As the humans say.

He looked at the contents of his cup, his mind seemingly elsewhere as he replied in an unnaturally nonchalant tone in sharp contrast of the topic he was beginning to bring up, "Your names are similar in origin to these demons I've heard and learned a bit about, no?" To prevent any unneeded messiness or shock exploding from Amatricina, he held up a calming hand, a knowing but strangely comforting smile on his face. His perfect jawline did work wonders in keeping himself on peoples good side, despite the rest of his very alienlike features. 

"Keep cool, I'm no robotic goverment controlled being here to capture you for dissection or anything," Hondrias joked slightly as he downed what little content the drink had held for him left. "That would be the blandest secret to uncover so early on in such an enriching conversation for the two of us, wouldn't you agree? And although my appearance looks quite foreign to someone such as yourself, I myself am not of alien origin. I am, Earth grown as you may put it." He stared at her, a quizzical and calculating expression painted onto his face as he determined what actually should his next goal be. Well, she did mention demons a bit- why not probe just a tiny bit there then? Shouldn't be too personal. Besides, what was the worst she could do to him anyways? She was just a human, afterall. 

A fact of which he was already beginning to doubt. But, nonetheless, Hondrias took a bit of a leap of faith, saying in his more persuasive and delightfully mischevious tone, "For a human you seem quite, how do you say it- well, much more advanced than the others of your species I've had the misfortune of running across in my many travels. Physically and mentally," He added witha bit of a wink. Hondrias hardly knew of the concept of flirting- in fact, it was quite recently learned. But he might as well try it on someone worthy of it no? Thats what he thought at least as he continued, staring at his hands and making random gestures as he finished off in a questioning voice, asking her, "So, Amatricina, how exactly do you know of the demons then? Dumb luck or something far more enticing..?"

((WC: 2110))

    The Bio-Android was even more drawn into the puzzle that was Amatricina as she revealed her thoughts and replied on what he had been poking at for a couple minutes. He listened silently, a scanning look on his face as she listed the beings of which she had originally thought he was. Hondrias let loose a low hum of a laugh, a chimera? Technically, she wasn't exactly wrong, but it was such a primitive way of putting him. It made him sound less of a technological marvel than he actually was. He separated himself from the truly bland and boring androids and the other failed attempts at Bio-Androids that roamed the Earth; Hondrias very much believed himself to be the pinnacle of combat skill, with no one even coming close to his perch of power. He was quite the contemptible being when it came to his self evaluation of his skill, since he normally always thinks in some sort of way that he can stomp any opponent in front of him into literal dust. Though, with such a capable mind and such eviable combat skill, who could really blame the guy?


    Hondrias' usually confident and nonchalant facial expression soon melted away, leaving his features contorted into a much more livid emotion as Amatricina went on her little tangent, perhaps more so a critique, on how he had dealt with his prey. Of course he could've made them all suffer under his wrath for however long he wanted, hell, absorbing them was a tortuous death sentence in it of itself. But if she was expecting some sort of philosophical reply that would make her pick at her brain for weeks on end, she was talking to the wrong Bio-Android. The rest of her rant was met with a small roll of the eyes and a cough of uninterest- Amatricina was beginning to bore the bug man, and that usually met either him leaving or him making an attempt to kill her. Normally it was both. Though he was still very much intrigued as to why she had gotten so miffed at Hondrias mentioning any sort of demon knowledge, as though she didn't wish to associate herself with the more basic thinking of it. He mused for a bit as he waited for her senseless droning to end, his eyebrows raising in curiosity as she mentioned the use of magic. Suddenly more interested, he turned back his gaze straight at her, asking in an interrogative tone, "Okay, I think I'm done playing Sherlock- who or what exactly are y-"

    He was rudely cut off abruptly by her sudden hurling of her cup straight at his perfect jawline. Hondrias quickly shot a power filled glare at it, the cup exploding into an insignificant puff of dust and ceramic pieces. He laughed a bit, an attempt at angering him? Or, a distraction then, he thought as Hondrias looked back at the seat in front of him, it suddenly being empty. He looked around for a moment before he sensed her energy reappear outside, on one of the flaming tops of one of the multitude of cars that had crashed together in the panic that ensued to escaping his oncoming wrath. A small smile lit onto his lips as he got up from his seat, appearing  right in front of Amatricina with his arms crossed in a formal stance. The locals who did remain and were staring at the two were horrified, it amused Hondrias- he could always just kill her in front of them for extra effect if he so wanted to. Now THAT would be a hilarious predicament to put them in. Hondrias took note of her less than friendly look on her face, as he simply shrugged- putting his hands up in a surrendering motion.

    "Listen hun- if you really wanted to know my life story, then you really could've just asked to stop with the games from the get go. I have no problem in enlightening you a bit," Hondrias said in a reassuring tone as he stretched a bit, letting out a bit of a yawn. 

    "I'm a Bio-Android- not a chimera, not Xeno, and certainly not a Majin- I am a Bio-Android created by two brilliant scientists to be the epitome of combat finesse. The reason as to why I know about your delectably delicious demon race is because I have an ancient demons DNA in my genetic makeup, I don't exactly remember who it was though..Dabura or something or other? Least of your concerns at this point."

    After his small explanation he flashed her his classic bright yet unsettling smile, asking in a genuinely caring tone, "Any questions for me before we move onto your story then?"

@amatricina

     Hondrias let a small slimmer of a smile escape onto his lips as Amatricina voiced her satisfaction. It seemed as though he had passed his little test with flying colors- ensuring he kept the demoness entertained and intrigued and saving his own life in the process. He most likely would’ve been subjugated to a humiliating death, with what remained of him being used in a demonic ritual of some sorts upon failure. Hondrias shook these thoughts away, simply shrugging in reply and giving way to a gentle bow as he said in his delectably confident tone, “I simply exist to impress. Nothing new really, success is guaranteed when faced with a being such as I, and besides- error or failure is not an option when dealing with requests from an intriguing seductress of a being such as yourself.” With this test though brought new questions to his mind as he began to muse over the different outcomes their little conversation could have. Perhaps Amatricina was interested in unifying the two under similar goals, upon seeing Hondrias being trustable, competent both physically and mentally, and having his heritage be part demon race. The Bio-Android was quite open to the idea- it would most definitely lead to many more interesting situations in the future, and he’d have someone to stimulate him- both in mental and physical terms. “Now that I linger in it more, it seems like the most sensible decision to make after a confrontation such as this..”Hondrias muttered as he returned his attention back toward Amatricina and her little evaluation of his display of raw strength and power.

     Although he was albeit a bit miffed when she made the statement of his greenness to demonic Ki, he had to admit she had a strong backing to it. He may have access to one of the most powerful beings in demon history’s genes, but by all means it did not mean he could control it as if it were a second nature action. Hondrias let that one remark pass on, and listened intently on what information Amatricina was spilling.  He scoffed slightly at her remark and note of the many other species DNA overwhelming the demon genes inside of his genetic make up, and Hondrias replied in a matter-of-fact tone, saying, “You know- one, I do believe the combination of demonic cells and the rest of my arsenal of cells do harbor an impressive combat potential in terms of mixing each races special abilities and strengths together, so I see it of more of an advantage than an impurity as you are perceiving it. Secondly, I wouldn’t be talking so lowly of other races when the dominant race back in the past and presently seem to be the savage Saiyan mongrels. You know, the ones who so pummeled your Demon King way back when?” The super computer back at Hondrias’ home lab may not have known much, but it did give him access to some impressive history records.

     As the curvalicious and seductive looking demoness made her way toward the great green bug man, he couldn’t help but take note of her delectable body structure. The way her hips swayed with every gentle movement and her sizable looking chest. As a demon of the female kind, Hondrias should have expected a more seducting stature in order to lure in male humans and such into their charm. But nonetheless, he was able to resist such influence as one, he was no mere mortal, and two- he simply held a large amount of endurance and resistance to such outer forces. For now at least. Lord only knew what kind of tricks she had up her sleeves.

     The Bio Android let out a deep, audible laugh, not too shocked at the many revelations Amatricina had spoken from her tongue. Of course his royal blood was invalid- it had been years after Daburas power or lineage were even close to relevant, so he wasn’t too surprised there. Whose bloodline could expect to survive after the blunders they had suffered under the Majin race rendering their very ruler obsolete? Upon the mention of him being so utterly an abomination that no mere demon would come close to kneeling under his rule, his laughter only grew- for who could resist his charm and his dashingly good looks? Sincerely though, he soon replied in an unconvinced tone, after wiping the tears away from his violent shaking of laughter of course, saying, “An abomination? Me? You must be joking-I’m the best looking mortal you’ll ever hope to find on this godforsaken planet anyways. And besides, I doubt many demons have the looks, tactical mindset, ambitious means, or power you and I possess in order to claim such a title of power. Although I shall admit- I doubt any come close to a diamond in the rough such as you.”

     After mentioning the Kais, Hondrias muttered some small condolences to the female. He wasn’t too fond of the gods either- to him they seemed irrelevant, their title and goals meaning and all accumulating to the amount of nothing in the long run. They had lost whatever little spine or backbone they had long ago, and all they truly do is lock away those of whom they believe to be wicked or bent in their ways. Hondrias wasn’t surprised she held a strong distaste for them, especially after her bringing up of the demon realm- a place of which the bug man wasn’t all too familiar with. With what little information he had gained, he perceived it to be a dimension in which all demons are sealed and kept from brewing trouble. A place in which Hondrias would soon be dying to visit after much more needed deliberation. But he would hold off for now, instead speaking in a hopeful tone, he replied, “Perhaps we’ll pay both the Kais and this Demon Realm of yours a visit one day. It sounds as though it will be quite the spectacle to behold.”

     Soon enough, after Amatricina had come close enough, the twos eyes began to sink deeply into each others, Hondrias hiding a bit of a grin from the flirtatious atmosphere the action held. While she was going over the uniqueness of his situation, the Bio Android simply sat there and listened- savoring the small moment in which the demoness treated him as a bit of an equal. Someone of whom could contend with her in the ring so to speak. His ego only grew with her admittance of impressiveness, and he craned his neck back to a neutral state as she floated upward so that the two were facing eachother equally. A small devilish smirk creeping onto his face as she drifted her warm touch across his cheek, her question falling onto attentive ears. As a reply, Hondrias lightly tapped her left cheek, saying in a deeper and more quiet yet spine tingling voice than normal, since she only a couple inches away from him, “I am no mere machine, nor any normal mortal. I am something more, my mind being that of a complete enigma. My heart? Simply thirsts for power and completion, with it being tainted by sins of which would dwarf even the cruelest of monsters despicable deeds. I am more than just metal and meat sewn together through magic, I am a harbinger of doom- an honest to Kami technological marvel and undefeatable horror. The sins I’ve carved into my heart will never be unveiled, nor revoked. But enough of me..”

    With a strange motion he gently carressed the side of Amatricinas neck, asking in his own questioning tone, “What would a true, pure demon have to confess? What sins have they left and burned into this unholy world?”

@amatricina

     Hondrias, as he went over his statements and small quips, took silent but carefully calculated notes on Amatricinas small mannerisms and slight quirks within her mostly poker faced expression. All beings had small ticks that gave way to what their emotions and kind were storming up, and Amatricina- although a very intelligent being, was no stranger to such things. Hondrias’ perception was highly utilized, as his mental strength in contrary to what the demoness may believe was extraordinarily strong, and his wisdom and tactics were nigh inconceivable when he did inevitably decide to focus. He had done this only to ensure he doesn’t pull the wrong strings later on and lose a valuable companion. Amatricina was a very unique being, and an even greater ally- to lose one like her due to a simple slip of the tongue seemed idiotic in nature, and thus Hondrias wanted to take every precaution available in order to prevent such small thorns from forming in his side. Each small action and reaction was recorded and studied in his intricate mind, gears whirring and running to memorize every single detail in order to help better himself in conversation for later. A curious noting was of when she had chosen to stay evermore silent when he had addressed Daburas downfall to the Saiyan race. It was interesting- Hondrias was completely sure that she’d have his tongue for such an outrageous claim, for he’d need solid proof for something of such importance to pan out. Fortunately or unfortunately, Amatricina remained unbent nor irritated, which led to the Bio-Android to the conclusion of not bringing that up again unless he had hard solid fact or really just wanted to screw with her. Although, it did bring a multitude of wonders to the table- how much of her own races history did dear Amatricina know? Was it twisted due to opinions, folklore, and facts being muddled together over such a long period of time? Or were the people whom she had spoken to for answers biased and give her inaccurate information? Discussion best saved for later.

     His delicious grin only widened as Amatricina objected to his caring touch- he knew she felt opposite to what she actually said. Who wouldn’t? Hondrias did have some devilishly good looks after all, it was necessary to lure in trust and a false sense of security to those unaware of his dark intentions. Perhaps even more so for future ventures, for when he’d need to be a leader for the armies he would one day lead once he became the ruler of everything. Ambitious, but not entirely improbable, so long as the Bio Android played his cards correctly and made each calculated move with perfect precision. For now he’d have to bolster his forces, and perhaps Amatricina would be the first of many he would meet and befriend along his path to pure perfection. Time would tell. Presently, he’d have to deal with Amatricinas continued objections to his touch- overstepping boundaries? To be fair, she had been the one who had initiated contact first, not himself. He was simply handing her a favor back after all.

     The Bio Androids eyebrows raised and his eyes rolled for what felt like the fifth time that day as Amatricina admitted that he may not exactly be an entire abomination- though an amalgamation was still an accurate way of viewing himself. Hondrias simply shrugged, replying in a nonchalant tone, “This face and particular physique doesn’t look that of one to an abominations nor a simple amalgamation of random species thrown together at all- though I do love that you are finally catching on, even if it is in baby steps. You’ve gotta start somewhere-!” His inflated ego continued to grow at Amatricinas compliments, though he kept it level in order to keep himself from becoming foolish- something his predecessor struggled with horrible, and what caused his eventual downfall. Hondrias wouldn’t let something as foolish as pride cloud his very extravagant goals and ruin all the progress he had already made. He would not be the second mistake. Hondrias was about to spout off on a clever quip of his when their discussion was rudely interrupted by a group of survivors attempting to scurry away under the watchful eyes of their rightful rulers. The Bio Android laughed, their fear was what made him drunk on laughter a lot of the time. It was simply incredible how they honestly always think they had a chance of living even with the monstrosity of science himself almost upon them. An almost admirable trait- but with the way humans used it it looked utterly useless to have. As he raised a single finger to execute the pigs like the proper butcher he was, Amatricina took it upon herself to end the needless squabble and commotion of the annoyance that was humanity. He simply sat back and enjoyed the slaughter- whistling his approval as a sudden explosion sounded off with an incredibly loud bang. He could feel the heat emitting from the boom, and he waved a hello to those of the few pests that chose to heed Amatricinas warning, a strangely comforting smile on his face. “If you do manage to get away, I’ll drink you anyways,” Hondrias simply called out as he returned his attention back to Amatricina, the same smile plastered onto his features.

     Hondrias crossed his arms, majority of her words going in one ear and out the other. He had heard the whole arrogance mantra over and over again- and was surprised when she hadn’t realized it was a simple facade created for social interaction. In combat, he was a very different bug man. Down to Earth, clean, quick, and straight to the point. Elimate the target with time to spare. But in casual settings, yes, he loved to gush over himself. Perhaps a bit too much if she had to call him out about it. “Demon Lord-? Rankings, huh? It seems your society is much more well built than I had originally conceived,” Hondrias said as she continued onward. As she blew him a singular kiss, all Hondrias gave her as a reply was a simple yet powerful, mischievous licking of the lips- his eyes suddenly reflecting a more lustfilled light before returning to his cool and collected stare. Two can play at this teasing game. 
   
     “You are right- Rubies pair better with Emeralds anyways,” The Bio Android replied with a flirtatious wink.

     Amatricina began to make her laps around him, and he slowly closed his eyes to fully absorb and concentrate what she was informing him of. Of course he knew the Kais’ power- they’d crush him in an instant at this present point of time. He was only implying that one day the two would engage them in combat, ending their useless reign and bringing forth the dawn of a new age of chaos. The same with the Demon Realm- although, apart from power level ability, Hondrias felt quite confeimt that he could easily face the horrors that awaited him in such a place. Perhaps that was the Saiyan side of him speaking, since the rest of himself knew it would be a smarter decision to return to that topic at a later date. When he was better prepared and had a sizable battle squadron.

     His eyes fluttered open as she reappeared in front of him, and his smile only grew once he learned their goals truly did intertwine with each others. This meant recruitment would be an easier task than first imagined. Hondrias merely waved off the completion question with an unconcerned chuckle, replying in a redirecting kind of tone, “My completion is of no worries to you thus far, though I will say this- if I do continue absorbing people and battling at a constant rate, I shall achieve incredible levels of power in a strangely short amount of time. And-“

     Hondrias snapped right to her right side in the blink of an eye, bending slightly so that his face was level with hers. A troublemaking grin was painted onto his face, gently caressing the horns and the back of her head as he finished off in a quiet and deeper toned voice, “You’ll come to learn within time that there is much more than just my basic charm to be enchanted with.”

     The humans and masses could wait- Hondrias was enjoying himself too much for this to end.
