The demon scam

"Oh," you say, realizing this is great information. "Would you mind showing the way?"

"Not really," Naria says, elegantly brushing some hair out of her face as she studies you with her yellow predator eyes. "I was on my way there anyway, you can just tag along if it suits you."

"Oh, good," you say, "I just have to get my sister. Wait a second."

Naria lifts an eyebrow, probably wondering why your sister isn't with you, but she says nothing.

Merle is still hiding behind the rock where you left her and she lifts her head to look at you when you return. "Come on," you say, take her hand and lead her back to the waiting cat demon.

"This is Merle," you say. "Merle, meet Naria." Naria flashes a feline grin at her. "Hi there, sweetie." Merle's eyes widen at her tail and ears, but she says nothing, keeping close you you.

Naria starts walking again and you follow. You sure are in luck... but perhaps you want to stay on your guard..? She IS a demon after all.
