charlie can't tell satanon apart from imps his size

from /hhg/ Helluva Hotel general #805
-----
>charlie can't tell satanon apart from imps his size
>she came back to the hotel with an unwilling moxxie
-
>Moxxie's too polite to make a huge fuss over the incident
>Especially since Charlie, despite being completely wrong here, is much less obnoxious and antagonistic about it than Blitz
>"A-as I said, Your Highness, I'm not this 'Anon' you're looking for, but if you need help finding him I'm more than happy to offer some assistance"

>"Stop being such a goofball Anon and come home, we're having chicken tenders tonight. Even you can't say no to that~"

>"Princess, please, I'm on a diet."

>"Oh hush you're way too young to worry about that sort of thing~"
-
>Unfortunately it's Angel Dust, not Vaggie, who happens to be hanging around when they get through the door
>He can tell at a glance that this imp isn't Satanon
>But he thinks it'll be funnier to play along than to point that out
---
>Meanwhile, at the mall, Millie is wondering where Moxxie got off to
>She encounters a lost and dewy-eyed Satanon wondering where his guardian is
-
>Satanon's thinks he was abandoned again
>He knew this was gonna happen...
>That doesn't make it hurt less
-
>Millie's "there there" mommy mode kicks in
-
>she pretty fierce about it, too
>when she catches up with Blitzo and Loona, any snide comment or rude remark is met with her basically threatening to flay the other two alive
>Blitzo learns to back off, and then spends the day mumbling curses under his breath, his only solace being that at least the kid isn't a total brat - he's just as lost as they are without Moxxie to keep them on Millie's good side
>Loona, on the other hand, tries her luck
>she spends the rest of the day with a bandage on her snout, after Millie pretty much bit her to shut her up
>pretty deeply, too - she actually drew blood
>Satanon is still upset - as much as Millie tries to console him, he feels lost and betrayed

>their chance encounter with Verosika is also quite eventful
>thanks to her succubus sense, she immediately realizes that she's face-to-face with the Big Boss' kid, and treats him with an uncharacteristically deep reverence
>not kissing up, per say, just showing what she deems to be the appropriate amount of respect - she basically treats anon like he was her superior, despite the latter's more childish demeanor
>Blitzo tries to tease her about it...
>,,,but she just flat-out ignores him, which annoys the imp to no end

>in the end, it's through her connections that they manage to track down Satanon's actual guardian...
>...the Princess of Hell herself (and Verosika's actual superior by proxy)


>Charlie apologizes profusely to the little caprid
>it's hopeless - she broke anon's trust, running up to Vaggie instead, to cry on HER shoulders, and not in Charlie's embrace
>Moxxie, meanwhile, is nearly crushed in Millie's bearhug - clearly, she missed him dearly
>with Blitzo relieved, Verosika feeling satisfied with herself, and Charlie now crestfallen, the odd menage disperses

>it'll take a while for Satanon to trust Charlie again, and until then, he treats her coldly, both emotionally and physically
-
>The bawling Satanon is taken back inside, and I.M.P. goes on their way.
>"That little fella was cute as a button, Mox! Y'know we should have a-"
>Blitzo cuts in
>"Yeah, yeah you can have your reunion fuk later. Hey, what was that midget's name anyway?"

>Moxxie answers back
>"I think it was... Satanon? Heh, which is funny cause he's named after..."

>It all comes together
>"What the fuk?!"
---
Poor Charlie just wants her "baby brother" to like her and she just can't get it right
---
>Millie wants a kid.
>Moxxie is hesitant, worrying about everything from money to the risk of leaving the kid an orphant should he and Millie die on a mission.
>Undetered, Millie continues to encourage Moxxie to go for it, telling him of family moments from her past and the happiness they would experience together as a family.
>Eventually her joy and entusiasm overcomes his worry and fears.
>Good thing that they got vacation-days comming up soon.
