Yeah, she told me he blew things out of proportion. [a beat.] She had to be a little honest with me, since I knew she cursed me 'cause she was pissed off at him, and it'd probably look worse if instead she claimed to have done that for no reason.
As you long as you don’t bank on that. He wouldn’t go out of his way to curse you, but that doesn’t mean he’d care at all if anything did happen to you.
[There are others who she knows are more dangerous, but in terms of who she dislikes most... It’s definitely him.]
I mean, there’s the obvious reasons like how he’s fine with murder, but...
[She sighs.]
I hate when people try to act like they know me and they don’t. He kept trying to pretend he understood me because he wanted me to agree with his fucked up logic.
No. It was like... I’m not saying the others don’t manipulate people, but this was different. He kept, like, openly implying that he knew what I wanted better than I did, and acting like I was too stupid to see that he was right about it. Which he wasn’t.
[Which is a sore spot for her, for a few reasons.]

On the other hand, surprisingly, you can say just about anything to Cunning and he won’t curse you. Probably.

Ruin likes me too, and I'd rather be on her good side than bad.

You obviously don't like him, though. What happened?

This is why, when it comes to the gods, I mostly smile and nod regardless of what I think.

It doesn't bother you, to do stuff like that?

Not the difficult people part as much as... feeling like you need to lie, or not say how you feel.

Better to bide your time.

Because of the - demons, right?

... it's actually a lot more complicated than that, but zoe doesn't really need to know about farms or years of mind games, so.]

[She can’t see another reason, at least not immediately, that he would need to be that dishonest.]
no subject
The intelligent ones can. There are also wild demons that are probably closer to what you're thinking of.
