I know pain, John. And you are far from being able to claim such a lofty title.
[ After all he was a demon who enjoyed hurting people on occasion and besides while John might have hurt him a few times, twisted his heart a few times. It was nothing compared to the idea of losing him in a few days, hours that they had left. ]
And any other day I would seek to remind myself just how sadistic I could be. [ He added with a teasing little glint in his eyes.]
If you truly do not wish this- you can say no. I just would be amiss if I did not express to you what I want from those last moments together.
[ There Caliban goes again with giving him whatever he wants and John can't help but feel some sort of way about that. ]
It's important to you.
[ He says then after taking a moment to lick over his lips. ]
I've been selfish in... this whole thing between us from the get-go and I know you like me for being that way... for not being afraid of saying and getting what I want, but. You deserve it, too.
[ Because how could he deny that otherwise? To go to his death without John being connected to him in a way beyond the contracts was important. If only because he ached for it to have some magical significance.]
So?
[ His eyebrows are arching just a touch because John hasn't said the words yet.]
[ Caliban was just going to hold his palm out as a small spark of that familiar fire magic exploded in his hand for a moment before it finally left a deep, almost blood-red metal ring with various demonic-looking runes that could be the royal symbol of hell and the dark golden jewel that had been carved into the shape of a small flame.]
[ Of course he has a ring. In all honesty, he figures Caliban's probably had something for awhile now.
Looking to it, he huffs a laugh and gives a shake of his head, though it's not in disapproval — more in playful disbelief as he sits up a little more there on the couch. ]
I don't have anything nice to wear.
[ Well, he has that red leather suit he'd worn to that valentines day party forever ago, but. ]

Licking over his lips, he looks down for a moment. Considering.
When he looks back up to the demon, it's with a slight tilt of his head and something there in his eye. ]
You got a ring?

[ He pointed out as he wiggled his fingers a touch before he dropped his hand down with a little tilt of his head and a warm smile.]
