oh

no i don't know anyone who

well

okay let me revise that. i might know someone who has expertise with the problem

caliban has expertise with demonic magic and demons generally, he's best placed to help investigate

[everempty]

Brilliant. I'm thrilled to have another prince in my business.

You can trust him?

[guylining]

i can

i do. the night when i saw you and thought i was in danger from you he came to talk to me about something else, and when i told him what had happened all he wanted to do was help

he augmented my wards, he talked me through everything

we weren't always close but we have been, recently.

[everempty]

Very well.

If you trust him, I'll meet with him.

[guylining]

thank you

he invited us over tomorrow night.

[everempty]

Well I have no plans, so tomorrow suits.

Does he want me to do anything to prepare?

[guylining]

he didn't say anything.

are you okay about this? i mean
really
we can talk about it

[everempty]

It's fine. This man isn't my siblings. If you vouch for him, I trust you.

[guylining]

i do

he's not exactly the same as you
he's made of clay

[everempty]

All my siblings are made differently, in fairness.

[guylining]

really?

how?

[everempty]

Various elements. Firey, watery, etc.

Did you think the others all worked like I do?

[guylining]

i'm not even sure i know how you work, it's not like me and ineroth ever sat down and had a heart to heart about it

i just know shadows are your thing

[everempty]

They are.

Not that I know why. It's simply as I was when I came into being.

[guylining]

born of shadows?

[everempty]

Born of Hell in the form of shadows.

[guylining]

and did you always have this body? i mean, from back before you split yourself

[everempty]

No. This is new and wholly Thorn. I don't know why I took this form when I was separated off as Thorn....

[guylining]

so before, you really had no form? you were shadows all the time?

[everempty]

Exactly. I couldn't leave Hell, so I had no reason for a physical form.

[guylining]

huh

how old are you?

[everempty]

Aren't you not supposed to ask that question of people?

[guylining]

you know literally all of my secrets except for the ones i didn't know to tell you

come on, humour me.

[everempty]

I don't know. How old is Hell? I've been there since it began.

[guylining]

soooo i took a billion year old's virginity.

cool
