[mammoney]

Definitely real small. They couldn't even give us separate rooms, huh...

[He shakes his head.]

That his name? I've been callin' him "Headache". He just was like, SUPER creepy and was like "don't date that lady!! she's mine!!" like some TOTAL WEIRDO.

[A beat.]

D'ya need me to like, beat him up or something for ya? That guy smells like bad news.

[infire]

I do hope they aren't expecting all three of us to share one bed...

[ she is a LADY.

...wait











WHAT ]

He said what?

[ HER FACE IS LIGHTING UP LIKE A TRAFFIC LIGHT ]

[mammoney]

I don't know, it would be kinda cramped...

[But now this lady is blushing? Uh. Time to...repeat himself again?]

He told me that he would do somethin' bad to me if I tried to date you because you belong to him. Talk about weird!

[infire]

[ AAA. AAAAAAAAA. IF SHE SURVIVES THIS EMBARRASSMENT, SHE IS GOING TO KILL HIM. FIRST HE RUNS BEFORE GIVING HER AN ANSWER, AND NOW THIS? ]

It's not like that!!

[mammoney]

[???????????????]

What? So you're not dating?

[infire]

Absolutely not!

[ not that it's stopped him from scaring off any other dates she's had...! AAAA why is he like this!! ]

We're just... [ friends? coworkers? he probably doesn't want her telling everyone exactly who he is while they're here, so... ] ...coworkers. Definitely not dating.

[mammoney]

Coworkers?

[THAT MAKES IT MORE CREEPY, HONESTLY]

Seriously, you can pay me to beat his sorry ass if he keeps creepin' up on you. Like what's his deal?

[infire]

[ oh. that's... kind of sweet, actually. ]

Thank you, but it's not necessary. You could say I work for him, so he gets very concerned for my well-being.

[ it's a bit overbearing sometimes, but. babo kim. what can you do. ]

That said... does that mean you're a fighter?

[mammoney]

If he's goin' up to random people and sayin' they can't date you, that's way more than concerned...

[Says the guy who gets annoyed if anyone even shows affection to the ones he likes HE'S NOT AS BAD AS BABO KIM, THOUGH, HE'D NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT.]

Eh, well, I AM the second-most powerful demon in the Devildom, so you could say that!

[He probably can't fight his way out of a paper bag. Don't believe his lies.]

[infire]

[ it makes sense in context. ]

He means well, even if he doesn't show it in the best ways.

[ oooh, aaah. brilith absolutely just takes the boasting at face value, even if she doesn't know what a demon or a devildom is. ]

Then, if you don't mind... Could you teach me? To fight, that is.

[mammoney]

Alright...

[Still thinking that guy is a Big Giant Weirdo.]

Huh? Me? [He's not expecting someone to just BELIEVE him out of the blue, so he's a bit taken aback.] I-I guess, but it's not like I wanna stay here for a long time! I mean, no offense whatsoever, but I'm supposed to be somewhere else. Not here.

[infire]

Oh, of course. It's the same for me - I should be in Atera, maintaining the barrier.

[ there are priest candidates to keep it up during her absence, but the sooner she can return, the better. ]

But until we can leave, I need to find a way to help protect the people here, in case anything goes wrong. If my magic were working, it would be fine, but without it, learning to fight is the only option.

If there is any way to compensate you for your help, I will gladly do so.

[mammoney]

Give me lots of cash and I'll help you out.

[Like. This is what he instantly says, without even skipping a beat.]

[infire]

[ her face falls a bit. that might be a problem. ]

Ah... The temple usually handles my expenses. As soon as I can get in touch with them again, I will make sure they pay you very well.

[ that's. all she can offer right now and she clearly feels bad about that. ]

[mammoney]

Mm.

[NOT...IDEAL. But fine. If there's a lot of cash involved, he can get behind it.]

...Okay, it's a deal. But I'd better get my cash at the end of this, 'kay? I won't take kindly to being scammed, either!

[HE WANTS HIS MONEY]

[infire]

[ it'll be kubera gold but it's still gold so it's fine right ]

I swear on Agni's name that you will be paid in full.

[ she's a good girl who wouldn't scam him out of his hard-earned cash ]

[mammoney]

Dunno who this Agni guy is, but sure. And no givin' me pennies, either! I want a lot!

[And he just. Sticks out his hand. Nothing officially demonic here, just an agreement.]

Do we have a deal?

[infire]

I'll make sure they make the payment in gold.

[ she smiles brightly, and cheerfully shakes his hand! ]

We have a deal!

[mammoney]

Nice! You're speakin' my language!!

[HEART EYES, MOTHERFUCKER]

Anyways! I guess we still have Missile to find. Dunno how we're goin' to share the bed...

[infire]

Then we can start tomorrow.

[ nice! she's excited; brilith is always happy to learn! though she does hesitate at what to do with the bed... ]

Missile will probably show up soon. [ it's late? of course he will. ] But... If it's a problem, the two of you can take the bed. I wouldn't be comfortable sharing it, so I'll... take that.

[ the chaise. if she can't have a normal bed, she'll take that. ]

[mammoney]

Okay. I guess we have time.

[He looks over at the chaise. He should be a gentleman, but...........]

[He just shrugs.]

That's fine with me.

[PLEASE BULLY HIM FOR THE BED, BRILITH!!]

[infire]

[ SHE WON’T priestesses can only bully their gods ]

Then it’s settled, as long as Missile is okay with it. ...You haven’t met him yet? I wouldn’t think it would be so hard to find someone with as few people as there are here.

[mammoney]

Don't think I have...Missile's a bit of a strange name, though. Like, ain't that a weapon?

[He's thinking of like. A walking missile. IT'S NOT A TYPICAL NAME, says the demon.]

[infire]

You mean, like a turret? Yes it is, that’s why I assumed he’s a fighter, too.

[ she has TWO whole fighters for roommates! she’s going to learn so much! ]

[mammoney]

Aw, man, do ya think he's super strong? I can't believe we'd miss a guy like that.
