Radiant

Not sure if this will make it beyond a sketch but...

I can totally see Az being disguised as a taikomochi in Japan around the mid 1700s, but basically seen as a general geisha because who can tell what gender he is, really? He'll probably keep a more human look up until the last minute but I just love his horns and ears <3

But also it's perfect because he leeches from Pride sin energy, so what better way to do it than to effectively egoboost his client then manipulate them somewhere nice and secluded when they're ripe for the taking?~

Also I have ideas (thanks to my other half) for him allowing some nobleman to keep him in his demon form as an interesting 'curio' to show his friends at parties as a status symbol.

Basically I need to research the hell out of Japanese culture at the time before writing anything, and also so i can draw him wearing the right style dress because I just sketched in a basic yukata here.
