Demons are simply another kind of person, ones of great diversity. For example, Strohl also resembles what would likely be a demon from my homeworld.

[ guys with horns, shadowy beasts, goopy slime creatures. it's a broad category. however... ]

The reason I invited you over to talk is because you are young, so I wished to check in on you, yet you seem like you might not appreciate being treated too much like a child.

[sootprints]

... Ah.

[ at both of those. ]

I see. I suppose that's how adults normally act around children...

[ apparently, she's still not used to it. ]

[ hm.

There's a girl not much older than you as part of my squadron at home. I like her very much, as she's intelligent and extremely capable, but her shyness and my own manner don't go together very well. She usually stutters through short sentences, or hits me and leaves, or both. I don't know how to interact with children as an adult does, really.

You're probably fine. Some people are just poor communicators.

I'm not allowed to speak to adults back home, so it's taken some getting used to.

[toxicate]

So it's not me...? Many people tell me it's my fault.

[ it is. ]

That seems counterproductive. Some adults are simply cruel.

[ ... maybe mordalion is one of those poor communicators, too. ]

They are. But rules are made by whoever has the power. Everyone else can only follow them.

... A bit like these "games."
