Jet felt the pressure mounting on him. His efforts to diffuse the situation via his usual methods backfired spectacularly, and now the creature is aware that he's an essence user, though in all likelihood it probably already suspected as much. But thankfully it appears to believe he's one of the Terrestrials. Though it's questionable how long he can maintain this facade. Should he use any of his more obviously infernal techniques the deception would be found out. But perhaps even more importantly than that he must ensure the creature does not realize his weapon is empty.
"Markolab, I lost it. Cover my back!"
"T-This is bad, man! This is bad! Jet! We need to get out of here! NOW!"
"What's gotten into you?!"
"This is no god!"
Suddenly Jet heard the feminine voice coming from behind him and he snapped around to face it with his weapon. All the while he was wondering how it could circle around him without him or his inner demon noticing it.
"The rotten eggs of the scarlet bitch will leave or we'll feast on their hearts! The choice is yours little wurm. Will you leave or will you feed?"
"We?"
"U-Uh... Yes! Me and my kin will tear you apart! Last chance, dragonling!"
"Jet! Jet! JET! I beg of you, do NOT agitate it any further!"
Markolab spoke up and Jet angrily demanded he explained what was going on.
"You don't get it! I saw it! I saw it disappear behind the bush! The tiger shrunk down! This is one of the Lunar Exalted! A shapeshifter! Forget the Raksha, this thing is in a whole league of its own! You're not ready to face a threat like that!"
"I can still talk my way out of this. Just watch me!"
"You bloody idiot! Words only work if the other party lets you talk instead of going for your throat as a first response! And this one can see essence mote expenditure! It will attack you like it did last time if you try to engage it in social combat!"
>"Then I'll just have to convince it without using essence."
>"Then I guess we switch to an aggressive diplomatic stance." (Fight)
>"Fine. I accept your offer. Me and my kind will take our leave."
