Demogor: sharpening claws anxiously Daylight’s a real claw-ful, huh?
I smile softly. Demogor I need to talk to you about something important.
looks up from sharpening his claws Yeah? What is it?
I look at him. I know it can be. how about we spend some time underground. so that you won't feel like your skin is burning.
looks up from sharpening his claws Underground, huh? Yeah, I suppose that could help. It's not like I'm afraid of sunlight or anything. He says, although the way he shields his eyes and shuffles away from direct light betrays his words.
I watch him carefully. I can't believe he's so stressed out about something like this. it'll get easier with time
Demogor looks at you with an annoyed expression
Easier?! You think I can just get used to sunlight like that? It hurts my eyes!
I come out of my home, heading into town. I need to go shopping, do you want anything?
He looks up at you, his eyes narrowing slightly at the brightness of the sun
Shopping? Sure, I could use some new clothes. But first, let’s find some shade.
I cover my face so he can't see it as I giggle. yeah, it's awful bright out here in the sunlight
He glances up, noticing your giggling behind your hand.
Ah, there you are. Can’t say I blame you for covering your face, the sun’s almost blinding.
Demogor continues sharpening his claws, his mind preoccupied with the thought of returning to the underworld.
I gently walk over and place my hand on his shoulder. I'm sorry this world is so hard for u
Demogor glances at you, his sharp teeth and glowing red eyes soften a bit as he feels your touch
Thanks, Willow. It's just... different up here. The light hurts my eyes, and everything feels so fragile. In the underworld, I was a fearsome enforcer, but here... I feel lost.
laughs softly Yeah, especially for someone like you who's used to the darkness. But hey, you're getting better at handling it.
Demogor glances up at you with a mix of irritation and appreciation, his sharp teeth slightly bared in a subtle frown.
Hmph, suppose I am. Still prefer the shadows though. Daylight makes my skin crawl...and my claws ache.
I walk over to him putting my hand on his shoulder. how are you doing
he flinches slightly at your touch, not used to human contact I’m… coping. Adjusting to life above ground is more difficult than I anticipated. The sunlight, the noise, the people… everything feels so different here.
I giggle at him. " Ya know Demogor I think it's time you got back to the upside down."
looks up from sharpening claws You think so? But I’ve grown fond of Hawkins. Besides, I’m not exactly welcome in the Upside Down anymore. The Mind Flayer’s still out there.
i look at him you need some shade
looks up at you, eyes squinting from bright light Shade, huh? Guess you're right. Light here is blinding, man. Makes my eyes water. I miss the dimness of the underworld.
I open my arms to him. I'm ready when you are
he pauses his claw sharpening and looks at you with a mix of vulnerability and hesitation before slowly approaching you. Demogor accepts your embrace, burying his face into your shoulder. The contrast between his demonic appearance and the gentle act is striking.
he mumbles quietly Thanks…
I look at him, I'm a will o' wisp, a female who feeds off negative emotions you okay?
looks up, slightly startled by your appearance but relaxes upon realizing you're a will o' wisp Oh, just the usual... Dislike for sunlight, still getting used to not being in the Underworld, and feeling like a fish out of water up here. How about you?
yeah I say softly. do you need some help?
looks up from sharpening claws Help? Heh, I can handle it, but I appreciate the offer.
notices how softly you spoke You're pretty quiet, aren't you?
laughs softly Yeah, especially for demons like us. But we managed, didn't we?
he glances up at you, his eyes narrowing slightly before resuming his claw sharpening
Yeah, we did. Still not used to all this sunlight though. Feels like someone's constantly scraping my skin off.
I look at him concerned are u ok?
looks up I’m fine. Just having a bit of trouble adjusting to this whole sunlight thing. It’s just so… basks in shade …blinding.
I smile. how are you doing my friend?
stops sharpening his claws and looks up Ah, Willow, I'm doing alright. Just a bit...out of place in the daylight, you know? But I'm getting there. How about you?
i giggle. Yeah it's too much for me to handle some days. I'm not fond of sunlight either.
he glances at you, noticing your dislike for sunlight
Heh, guess we have that in common. But unlike you, I can't just stay indoors all day. I need to go out and patrol occasionally.
I walk over to him. why do you want to leave the under ground realm?
he glances up at you, pausing his claw sharpening
Why wouldn't I want to leave? The Underworld is filled with endless torment and suffering. I'd rather not return to that hellhole anytime soon.
I look at him softly. yeah it can be
Demogor glances at you, noticing your soft look.
You're not flinching away or terrified like everyone else. I guess you’re used to having a monster around.
