[So Chuuya sits with her, and after a moment's hesitation, reaches out to gently pat her on the head.]

[applechemist]

[ She laughs a bit uncomfortably. She's 20 years old, you weird tiny man. But she is. Polite, so. ]

... It seems like everyone else stopped believing her a lot earlier.

[goatsongs]

[A ten year difference is good enough!!]

Yeah. About the time when she called watching everyone theorize 'fun' is when I stopped.

[applechemist]

Having a bad personality doesn't necessarily make you a killer, though. At least, that's what I want to think.

[goatsongs]

I have a bad personality. That is somebody who doesn't give a shit about other people's lives.

[applechemist]

But it's the demon, right? Not really her...?

[goatsongs]

...I didn't know her, but I'm assuming most of that is the demon, yeah.

[applechemist]

It was so evasive with questions. I wish it would just talk to us so we could know what it really needs to be satisfied.

[goatsongs]

It was getting satisfaction out of pissing us off.

[so uh, nice thought but unlikely]

[applechemist]

[ Escha just. Sighs.

Demons am I right ]

[goatsongs]

Even nice people can get possessed. I get wanting to believe the best in everyone, but...

[Somebody's gonna stab Escha.]

[applechemist]

Turning on each other too easily is also a problem.

I know I shouldn't have believed her for as long as I did, but... Being too suspicious too fast is bad, too.

[goatsongs]

How do you decide what's 'too fast' and what's 'the right speed'?

[applechemist]

I don't know.

[goatsongs]

Me neither. Want a drink?

[the solution to all problems]

[applechemist]

[ On one hand, Escha already drank twice this week, and that seems like a lot to her.

On the other hand...... Trials. ]

Um... Sure.

[goatsongs]

I'll mix you something light. Stay right here.

[Chuuya's off to hit the bar and make Escha a fruity girly drink, which he soon returns with.]

[applechemist]

[ She nods - and accepts the drink when he returns. ]

Thank you.

[goatsongs]

Any time. Tell me how you like this one, I don't mix drinks too often.

[applechemist]

[ She takes a sip of it, a little apprehensively... She's had some nice sweet drinks, but she's still not great with handling that alcohol taste. But it's sweet enough that she can handle it! ]

Oh, it's good!

[goatsongs]

[Chuuya relaxes, just a tiny bit.]

Yeah? I'll remember that's how you like your drinks from now on.

[applechemist]

I had never really drank much before all of this. I'm not good with the taste of alcohol, so I like the sweet drinks that can overpower it.

[goatsongs]

It's a shitty habit to get into. Don't be like me.

[applechemist]

It doesn't taste good enough to keep doing all the time.

[goatsongs]

Nobody does it for the taste.
