canon: demon diaries

[illboding]

Your sort has made a game, Lady, of summoning creatures beyond grasp, or understanding.

My hands are in Master Raenef's debt: were it not for his... tendered heart, I might yet blunt my claws on your throat.

[ex_admonishing35]

Eclipse! You're here too?

[illboding]

Master.

If my absence has given you alarm, you have my apologies.

[ex_admonishing35]

It's okay. You're here now! [Which he seems rather pleased about, given that smile on his face.]

[illboding]

You've... kept out of trouble?

[ex_admonishing35]

Of course I have. [[Doesn't he always? :lb But really, there is only so much he can do now he isn't in a game.]

What about you?

[illboding]

I hadn't thought I was the one who courted it.

[ex_admonishing35]

And what does that imply? [About Raenef. It's not his fault stuff just. Happens. Most of the time. Okay maybe some of it is actually kind of his fault. But he is supposed to be the one in charge and stuff here.]

Any ideas to take you to one of these games? I was in one before.

[illboding]

Even this fool would know to try deep waters before sailing them.

You have not left me wanting for more pressing tasks.

[ex_admonishing35]

Oh, so I guess you're pretty new with your player person and all. Mine has had me around for years now.

....Eheh, well you can't complain about being bored since you found me?

[illboding]

You don't give me the time to complain even in your absence.

[ All the things to set right, minor demons to intimidate, precious glassware to remove from harm's way... ]

[ex_admonishing35]

Well, it keeps you busy then! You'd rather that than still be looking for me, riiiight?

[Because. Admit it, this brat has kind of grown on you and you are at least a little relieved to have found the fifth Raenef so soon. Even if he ended up bringing Chris and Erutis home. Well, okay, Erutis kind of found him, but still.]

[illboding]

[ Oh, young Raenef. You're so lucky you're cute. ]

With how much time you've wasted on trifles, I don't believe you'll find marauding in your future, Master.

<3 I did love the characters at the very least in this series. Great to see someone else around!

[ex_admonishing35]

But...is a Demon Lord supposed to go marauding...?

[Did this come up in his lessons and he fell asleep? He hopes not.]

Likewise, really ;;

[illboding]

A demon lord does as he pleases. It is his right as liege.

But you've neglected your other duties while you've... hunted adventure.

Kind of miss playing him, might re-read when I get ahold of my manga again.

[ex_admonishing35]

Oh, right. [He's just. Still not used to this whole being in power thing yet.]

....Does this mean more work? [But Eclipse, studying is haaaard. And it hurts when you hit him for giving wrong answers. And meetings are boring, except when he makes everyone laugh because. Raenef.]

You can find it online too, if you don't mind poorer scans!

[illboding]

Is this work so against your own nature?

True, I prob could. I just prefer my actual volumes if I can.

[ex_admonishing35]

Kind of, sometimes. But I'm trying! [And when Rae tries with this he finds that book. So, really, it's a lose-lose situation with him trying to be more like a proper Demon Lord. At least he has that no apologizing thing down?]

Awwww, I understand!

[illboding]

You're trying hard. To fail.

[ex_admonishing35]

I--I am not! [Why so mean. He can't help the way he ended up as being the complete opposite of a proper Demon Lord. ;A;]

[illboding]

Then failure comes natural to you?

[ex_admonishing35]

No. I was fine taking care of myself before you showed up! [He had been fairly successful in making friends with the other orphans and providing the food they needed, after all. He was just not the best suited for such a temperament as the other Demon Lords.]

[illboding]

...forgive me. You have never given me reason to question you in ability.

[ex_admonishing35]

Of course not. But I guess in some cases that might depend on the game places. I mean, where I was before I could still teleport, but not too far and I couldn't use it to get back home to the castle.

[sacrilegious]

One wonders how humans dare summon those of our kind, brother.

[illboding]

Impudently and without foresight.

[sacrilegious]

( chuckles. )

I couldn't possibly have said it better myself. Say, how long have you suffered these chains?
