Balthazar sort of suspected they would already know who he is, given the reactions of most of the other Fallen Angels, but introducing himself felt polite. "Great Duke Abigor," he repeats thoughtfully, and nods. The genderless look doesn't surprise him in the least, though it's interesting that Abigor and Phenex seem to wear it differently; elegant practicality in Abigor, Phenex more like a statue carved of crystal and pearl.

The armclasp doesn't stop him in his intentions. He returns it firmly, but ducks his head to steal a kiss to the back of Abigor's hand anyway before letting go.

"There, I'm killing two birds with one stone," he explains. "I was dared to kiss five people in the room other than Lucifer, and I thought I ought to say hello to you anyway. Do you want to play Truth or Dare?"
