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."

She starts walking again and you take Merle's hand and follows. You sure are in luck... but perhaps you want to stay on your guard..? She IS a demon after all.
