Why honey:
Elanye thought she was done telling the popular customers about her time in the living world. Re- telling the story how her nephew invokes the power of each and every witch of the Bloodmarch line. Wanting them to be present when he came into his abilities. Since Asmodeus wanted the full details of what happened while she was away. Visiting the latest descendants of her family while sharing her wisdom with them. Just her replacement didn't really do it for Fizzarolli when they dropped their items off. Guy lacked customer service skills, needed to work on his conversation ability, and his actual smile needed to be improved. Were one of MANY complaints Fizzarolli had for Elanye when she was let in by Asmodeus' assistant. The list was unrolled of paper that was as long as a used roll of receipt paper. Itemizing dislikes that Fizzarolli didn't like lessened the story telling mood Elanye tried to set.
"Frizzie," Asmodeus whispered, "Why don't we give the list to her since it will end up being given to her brother?"
"Fine," Fizzarolli took off his glasses, "This nephew of yours better be worth it."
In exchange for his list, she handed over a framed piece of tile to him that held a portrait of her nephew. Her brother had the piece done by an exploited artist he came across in the greed ring. Detail put into the piece was worth his monthly trip to Mammon to pay him, a single pouch offered Purple Edison Pearls.
"This kid has a snake," Fizzarolli noticed one of two of his familiars, "A kid his age still needs a babysitter? Like we can volunteer to watch him when he visits, right?"
"Oh goodie," Asmodeus liked the sound of that, "From what I hear about him, he looks just like his uncle from his broad shoulders and an amazing six pack of a modern renaissance man."
"Will not be happening until Samhain," She did the math, "Between gathering the supplies and waiting for a natural disaster event to fuel the opening of a portal."
"Really?" Fizzarolli and Asmodeus didn't like the sound of that.
"First time was him citing Bloodmarch ancestors and myself," She listed, "Second was to prepared by Stolas, after he got his Grimoire back since he wanted to make up with his daughter."
"You never told me about Princess Octavia and your nephew?" Asmodeus was shocked over the newly formed bond, "Share?"
"Yea," Fizzarolli wanted to know, "Spill."
"Right before we all settled down to watch the Meteor Shower," She brought out one of her orbs, "Octavia found my nephew on a picnic table with his familiars in the middle of thinking."
Images that showed to Fizzarolli and Asmodeus about the two interacting that day were shown. Pure smiles the two shared at one explained to the other about the difference in spells. Cautionary way one introduced the other to his two familiars. Turned into her explaining to him the true meaning of Meteor Shower as they joined everyone else. Sometimes they pointed at the sky while sharing the telescope. Over a jar of moon water that was handed to him by his mother as a magical assignment.
"Sparks." Asmodeus looked at Fizzarolli with nostalgia in his eyes.
Memories of all the times they met form a short time evolved after Asmodeus confessed to Fizzarolli on a love note. MANY dates they went on before they started sleeping together. Learning about their likes and dislikes while disagreeing and composing. Staying over for a day spurned to nights for one day to weeks long. Talks about moving in together after sharing spaces ended up happening. Building a routine outside of work in the form of a life they currently had.
"Oh babe," Fizzarolli sighed at the memory, "You're telling me."
"What an amazing story it is." Elanye released another orb.
"I think it's time, I properly introduce my Frizzie to Lu Lu," Asmodeus figured, "Not during one of those meetings we sins have."
The Orb she released ended up showing moments from Fizzarolli and Asmodeus' life as a couple. Moments when they grew comfortable around each other to speak their minds. Stopped holding back in hand holding didn't bother them anymore. Expressing their feelings with each other while worrying about what others thought.
"Name the date and time," Elanye likes the idea, "My brother just got done putting a garden on the hotel's roof."
"A sweat soaked Wywave," Asmodeus went wide eyed, "How could you not inform me?"
"Are we talking dripping or rippling?" Fizzarolli asked.
"Shirt sticking to his torso while you could see the outline of his muscles." She describe it to them.
She ended up reaching for her framed tile in which she was careful in handling with glove hands. Bringing the piece of her toward lips to give a forehead kiss she never got to give. Hood hid her smile when she gazed at the portrait of her nephew staring back at her. Seen by Asmodeus as important as she placed the framed tile within her capelet.
"Frizzie," Asmodeus sighed at the last time he saw Wywave, "You have to meet this hunk of a man."
"I am sure he has nothing on you." Fizzarolli was fine with Asmodeus.
Elanye takes this as an excuse to leave them with the delivery of a usual breakfast and cosmetic haul. Taking the way she was shown to leave through the front door. Stopping at the elevator her orbs return before the doors slide open for her to walk in. She was taken to the ground floor and walked out to curbside. Where she found her brother back from the gluttony ring on his motorized carriage. Carrying a few Beelzejuice kegs he picked up after doing a drop off.

Seeing an actual halo fall of Lucifer's private things that Elanye was sorting through a sight. This one was stained with blood she figured belonged to Lucifer and chipped. She was careful in putting it away before coming across the photo album titled Asmodeus. She was searching despite also coming across an angelic robe. Driver blood and numerous rips and slash's throughout wasn't what intrigued her. Symbol on the frontal part of the cupped chest area that drew her in.
"Power and emotion tied
A witch's heart is where it hides
Help her through this agony
Bless her with the memories inside." She chanted a spell to see memories linked to this clothing.
Surrounded scenery was washed away and replaced by an icky blackness from Lucifer's POV, showing her the hours before Lilith and Lucife were casted out, Lillith stood behind him and shielded by all six of his wings and eyes belonging to Lucifer's siblings. Blade made of angelic steel and divine light encircling the two of them. Booming words she couldn't make out were by a heart crashing emotions of despair. A searing pain drew Elayne back to the present and made her nose start to bleed. How she was found by Alastor just frozen in place and unblinking. He fought the strong urge at the sight of her blood dripping freely from her nose. Him stepping back from her was pulled from her stating the spell ended.
"My oh my," She folds up the robe to put away, "That was Hail Mary."
She also put away the halo while picking up the album as she held her nose with her sleeve. Sitting as still as she could until blood subsided for her to freely move on.
"Need a hand?" Alastor asked, just watching her.
Way he unwaveringly smiled and bent down with hands behind his back upon nearing her. Had her hiding the halo and robe she hadn't returned to the shelf from his unblinking eyes. Trying her best to keep the albums from reaching his shadowy companion.
"Don't you have something else to do?" She asked unflinching, "One sided yelling from Vaggie or talk with Charlie?"
"I can't worry about you," He clearly stated, "My dear."
Presence of a crimson cat that looked just like him pranced into the room with tail wagging upon seeing Elanye. When she called him by name, Alastor got annoyed as he pulled away. Right behind Chewy was his owner in the form of Wywave with his hair pinned.
"Good boy." Wywave addresses Chewy.
Chuck of dried meat hand fed to Chewy further annoyed Alastor he watched his cat clone get fed. Even the form of endearment the cat clone of him made him shake with disgust. His eyes flattened on to top of his head and the incline in his smile showed.
"Someone still doesn't like you," Wywave pets Chewy, "Makes keeping you worth it."
Odd staring contest that took place between Alastor and Chewy as Wywave helped his sister. Away went the box she was hiding while he took hold of the album for her. Had him getting her to her feet with her pinching her nose when she stood. Chewy's shadowy tentacles were handed the album to be entrusted to deliver it. He did by running off without a care to leave his owner and actual Alastor with Elanye.
"You used a memory spell?" Wywave asked her, "What did I tell you about performing them? Let alone the overwhelming sights they bring."
"Would you like to share?" Alastor asked.
"Aren't you scared I may reveal something about you?" Elanye countered, "Your seven year absence or who is at the other end of your leash?"
Wywave didn't stop his sister from reaching up with her free hand toward Alastor and fingers moved. Rattling outline of a chain's links when her eyes lit up revealing their direction. Being attached to a neatly locked collar around Alastor's neck for a passing second. Quickly faded just when eyes stopped glowing and fingers dropped.
"Still a no?" He always guessed.
"Still a no." Both Wywave and Elanye answered him.
Alastor ended up helping Wywave get his sister with her ending nose bleed then further pushed the topic. Leaving the part of the hotel where most of Morningstar's family past was stored. Scorched paintings that held Charlie throughout life stages. Smile she wore beside her father had Elanye focus on one person. Pale skin and long blonde hair with thick honey-colored streaks framed a gentle smile. The joy she genuinely showed in those paintings made her truly wonder. Left her quiet for the rest of the walk when she was reminded what she was preparing. The album was a request Lucifer made when Asmodeus wanted him to meet his boyfriend. Reason behind Elanye was digging around in this part of the mentally placed it on the back burner since today was an official meet my spouse day. Just her black, Contrast Mesh, Flare Sleeve, Tie Neck, Black, Turtleneck Dress. Was covered in dust from her moving around with blood on the cuff of her sleeve. Making her feel less presentable then when she started out looking for an album.
"I know." She recalled.
She ended up picking up her pace to get past her brother and Alastor to make her way to the apple tower. Where she stored a midsize box of her potions at Lucifer's insistence. Currently sat on a Victorian Makeup Vanity & Stool with a lightless mirror. A new life had been breathed into by Wywave with a new stain and knobs.
"Good luck." Her brother wished her.
"She's going to need more than that," Alastor spun her cane around, "I wish I could watch."
Glare her brother gave Alastor was the last thing she saw when she made way to the apple tower. Shaking her dust off her dress when she moved through corridors and hallways. Ride up on the Elevator with polk music playing when she stepped off. Went unnoticed by her when she continued walking until she reached the door. Blindly making her way to the familiar set of doors covered in old crown molding. Only to find the door was opened instead of locked when she barely touched the knob. She lightly swung the door open with a gentle push and cautiously stepped in.
"Hello?" She called out, "Anyone inside?"
She made sure to kick and secured the door's lock before further stepping inside with worry. What she found instead was Lucifer with a box of photos from when sins were toddlers. Ones he was looking over were ones not found in Asmodeus' album.
"Baby fever or lost in the memory?" She asked.
"Recalling a time when I told Asmodeus this moment would come," Lucifer welcomed her sitting beside him, "His depression spells were worse than mine."
Two looked over photos of deadly sins early days to when Hell's foundation was starting to build. Mostly Lucifer telling her about the memories of each photo as she listened. Until they lost track of time and Elanye needed to get to her potion box for her spray. This was where she had explain to Lucifer was in her box when colorful liquids caught his eye. Just one among the few caught his eye, due to the symbols meaning male and female as liquid was mix of pink and blue. Explanation had Lucifer making a suggestion about trying something new, when just the two of them.
8*8
Officially meeting the spouses of the sins was normal for Elanye and Fizzarolli due their existing interactions. Just when a nervous hellhound and long term boyfriend of Beelzebub was a new one. Pour thing didn't know what to do when he stood before the other two after pleasantries.
"This totally reminds me of a joke," Fizzarolli tried to remember, "I am going to need a minute."
"What does he mean?" Elanye was asked.
"Something funny that involves a hellhound, an imp, and a witch." She pointed at herself.
"You're a witch?" He couldn't believe it, "Rumors of your wearing a red hood with a voice made you look like a succubus."
"I am nothing like your employeer," She was touched, "Asmodeus does know about her carelessly tossing her flask of Beelzejuice into the Earth's ocean which mutated a catfish, right?"
She was sharing how she learned about this incident from her nephew. During her first visit she learned of monster catfish from him. Willing to share pictures he got from news stories with a few choice articles she could show.
"You really are an informed women," Vortex was impressed with her, "I don't think he knows."
"Ah." Elanye wasn't happy about that bit of news.
She sat back in her seat with worry over Verosika's reckless behavior that didn't seem to improve. After hearing she never finished rehab and fact she carelessly handled a beverage from hell. While endangered the lives of humans when she carried out a pointless beat .
"I remember." Fizzarolli recalled the joke.
When he shared that Elanye genuinely laughed as she heard Beelzejuice asking about the pastries. Pointing out her favorites were homemade fondant fancies and pillowy meringues, filled with lashings of Chantilly cream and juicy fruit, and topped with a delicate meringue figure. She couldn't get enough of them off this magically refilling 3- tier dessert trey. Asmodeus wanted to know where the maca and apple tea came from. Unable to get enough no matter what he drank from his bone china tea cup. Left Lucifernto smile about them complimenting him on his new partner.
