Okay that, yes, okay. Turns out "it" is a lady? I didn't realize it was a lady. Or at least it looks like a lady.

Friend's fine though! Everything's fine, I was just wondering.

I mean my friend was wondering.

Yes, it has assumed female form. Or was female before it became what it is.

[and now she suspects something's up]

Are you or your friend well?

Cool cool. Did you mention that part before? A lot's happened since I first met you so I'm kinda hazy on some details.

[UH OH]

Everything is fine :)

[Goddammit Peter]

I'm fairly certain I mentioned the black eyes. I'll never forget them.

[yes, uh-oh]

Then why are you asking me for specifics about the demon?

[He hadn't really stopped to just stare deeply into the creepy demon lady's eyeballs when they'd met, but everything else checks out for sure.]

Because

just in case?

[smooth]

It's wise to have a plan of action for dealing with it, just in case.

That is the reason you ask, is it not?

That's me, Mr. Action Plan.

[He'd totally be doing finger guns if she could see it]

Of course it is! Everything's great, don't even worry about it.

[the more he insists that things are fine, the less she's convinced]

I see.

Of course if anything has gone wrong involving the demon, you can tell me.

[He is kind of a terrible liar, to be fair.]

I know, I know.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "gone wrong" is.

[Because he's alive so hes counting that as a win]

[just a little bit. and she was surrounded by much better liars in King's Landing]

Did she harm you in any way?

A little bit.

[A big bit.]

It's no big deal though, I'm okay now.

That creature is a menace.

Why the so-called gods allow her to run amok here is beyond me.

If she can't hurt them, then they probably just don't care about what she does. That's my guess, anyway.

Rumor has it, it used to be able to.

Then the so-called gods stripped it of some of its powers, leaving it powerful enough to be a threat to us but not so powerful to threaten their dominion over us.

Yeah, when you put it that way, it really does sound like they don't care about what happens to us.

Wow this got depressing.

That's because they don't.

We're their food.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, they haven't stabbed me yet, so I think I'm still gonna say that I like them a little more than demon lady. Just a little bit.

As do I.

When the Null came, I fought to protect the people here.

The people, not the gods.

Yeah, that's about where I'm standing in all this.

It's likely the best--and the most sane--place to stand.

The people here are worth defending.

The so called gods are, well.

We depend on them for so many things.

I know that.

But they depend on us for many things as well.

Their treatment of us should reflect that.

I wouldn't NOT help them if they need it, I think, but my priority is definitely other people.

Most of them. That demon lady can bite me tbh.

During the Null invasion, they certainly needed it.

Especially as they were betrayed by one of their own.

[how to convey humor via text?]

Don't encourage it, it may try.

Right right, Delight or something, wasn't it?

[Peter can't quite tell if it's a joke, but he's just gong to assume it was.]

Some people are into that. I'm definitely not one of those people.

Yes, it was Delight.

No one suspected her of treason, so it was the perfect cover.

[yes, it was a joke. jokes are hard via text when you don't know about LOL or emojis]

I assumed not, you seem a clever young man.

I guess I can see why the gods have trust issues after something like that? If you can't trust your own friends, who can you trust, right?

[He is gonna have to teach her some internet speak like 4real.]

I like to think so. I mean I can get into some pretty stupid stuff sometimes, but I like to call those "learning experiences".

[Sometimes he actually does learn from them. Sometimes.]
