[selfimmolates]

He sees you as weak, I'm guessing. What provoked this line of topic?

[requiemed]

I told him murdering people is bad and he couldn’t handle it.

[selfimmolates]

I'm not surprised a God of Cunning doesn't like being told that they're wrong.

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

[requiemed]

...Yeah, I don't think I'd ever be able to do that.

[selfimmolates]

Well, not everyone can. At least, not without practice, and I doubt you'd be able to learn fast enough here.

[requiemed]

[A pause.]

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

[selfimmolates]

I've dealt with more difficult people.

[requiemed]

[She shakes her head, clarifying.]

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

[selfimmolates]

And like I said, I've dealt with more difficult people. When the other option is risking death, it stops being such a big deal.

Better to bide your time.

[requiemed]

...Oh.

[A pause.]

Because of the - demons, right?

[selfimmolates]

[he just nods.

... 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.]

[requiemed]

I guess I didn’t realize they could... talk.

[She can’t see another reason, at least not immediately, that he would need to be that dishonest.]

[selfimmolates]

[casually moves on and lets her think that.]

The intelligent ones can. There are also wild demons that are probably closer to what you're thinking of.

[requiemed]

That's so weird...

[A pause.]

I mean, to me... Probably not to you. Have they always been around?

[selfimmolates]

For at least a thousand years, or so I've been told.

[requiemed]

Does anyone know how they popped up?

[selfimmolates]

I wish I did, but no dice.
