Blue Demon

He looked at his watch, and when he lifted his head thinking his guest will be late he sensed something at his back. Something like shifting, just at the corner of his eye... And turned to see a man sitting on the stool, leaning back at the wall, blueish black giant wings sprawling upon his shoulders to the ground. With his multiple horns and giant wings and weirdly webbed ending reptile tail and being quite huge and all, but the most striking element was his eyes. His irises were a bit bigger than normal, dark blue and somewhat catish with pointed edges on top and bottom; but it was how he looked... He looked calm and unimaginably wise and old with the way he looked behind those eyes.
Professor tried to hide how uneasy he was with those eyes looking at him and said:
"You are right on time." with a smile, he barely managed not to twitch.
He smiled back calmly, with a wisdom matching his eyes. He said nothing.
Professor stood silent waiting for something- anything, for a moment. Then he moved his wheeled chair to the table to serve tea. It should have been cold by now, he thought, but it should do. He poured the tea to the cups; his guest moved the stool he sat on closer to the table and picked his up carefully with his big hands- his nails were a bit long and pointy and black, perhaps chitin. Now closer, professor was able notice some lizard scales in his body. His arms had linear patches of scales, pale or black, and his eyebrows were not actually hair, but black, nicely shaped scales, going all the way through his temples and under his long black hair. His skin, where there were no scales, was fair and deceptively young looking.
