[It is a strange thing to say- something she might find even more so if she still considered him human. To take pride in a job he had no memory of... but who was she to know all there was about demons, when she had always been told to avoid contracts with their ilk and to fear their potential to manipulate and corrupt?

And about that..]

There were demons in Chantes, around the time of your transfer. Controlled by the sorcerer.

[Was there a right way, to inform a demon that you knew their secret? Could it even be counted as a secret, if one version of him had already divulged it to her? She doesn't know, but she manages to look at him directly, as guarded as her emerald gaze was in that moment.]

I must admit... I thought for a moment you might have simply joined them.
