Trying to talk to one or both of them is impossible.

[astar]

Mun, you mustn't wake him! Please, just return our serpent and go? I -

[She turns away, pained.]

I'm afraid to share this body with him. He might do something awful to the children.

[Oh and you wouldn't, Astarte? :| De-nial~]

I need to protect them. They need a mother. [She rubs a hand over her swollen belly.] I am a mother.

[. . .]

What do you mean I should apologize? What have I done wrong?

[Everything, you poor demented demon.]

Oh no, he's coming!

Comments

[sympathyforme]

Greetings, Astarte. What a wonderful mother you'll be.

[astar]

You think so, Your Excellency?

[sympathyforme]

[Truthfully, he could care less. And he's aware of the truth.]

It's in your blood.

[astar]

[THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF!]

Astaroth wouldn't agree.

[There is the sound of a struggle. Astarte yelps.]

Damn right I wouldn't. No mother eats her offspring unless they're a beast. [A cruel chuckle.] That covers her pretty well, though, doesn't it.

[sympathyforme]

As I said. It's in her blood.

[He smirks for a moment, although it doesn't reach those cold eyes.]

What are you doing here?

[astar]

Literally.

[Astaroth leans back, pointedly ignoring the pregnant female body he is trapped in.

It really is infuriating to be like this.]

Where else would I be?

[sympathyforme]

This place. The person behind you, your... writer, usually they have a reason to put someone here.

[He might make a comment on the female body, but, well, he's been a sword for a while.]

[astar]

She likes to see me suffer. That's reason enough.

Bitch.

[He glowers.]

She even took our serpent.

[sympathyforme]

That is quite the hardship. You should be glad, though, as long as this is just a one-time stunt and she isn't planning on taking you anywhere for a longer time.

[He might do something to the children?]

One is quite certain mun is some archaic word meaning worse than Satan. As such, they do tend not to listen well.
