Truth be told you expected to be immolated by now, but the fact that you aren’t makes it easier to say your piece. Stepping in between Rezalith and Volka, the latter whining with growing panic as she somehow manages to launch butter onto her face, you give the diminutive devil your answer…
To be honest, you begin, you think she enjoys being good more than she enjoys being evil!
“Oh really?” She asks, eyes wide and unblinking as she continues to stare daggers at you, “Explain, worm.”
Well, you reply as you reach behind you and yank a knife out of the wall next to your head, that blade she threw <span class="mu-i">totally</span> went wide… and if she really wanted to kill you she had plenty of other options!
“This tired argument again~” Sighs the devil as her tail swishes behind her like a bullwhip, “What’s more merciless, An<span class="mu-i">TRASH</span>: snuffing out your pathetic life <span class="mu-i">now</span>, or subjecting you to unyielding misery unti-”
See, there it is right there, you counter as you help Volka flip the meat in her pan, she’s been having a <span class="mu-i">BLAST</span> ever since she joined you! She insults everyone, sure, but she’s never <span class="mu-i">once</span> strayed from the group even when she totally could have!
The demon’s reptilian eyes dart away, if only for a second! “Tch, as if I’d miss an opportunity to watch you <span class="mu-i">fail</span>-”
She could’ve lit this whole place up by now! Set the whole block ablaze and fly away before anyone could stop her!
Her haughty expression falters. “W-what a great idea! Maybe I still will..”
And you know what else? If she was all about evil, she’d be <span class="mu-i">dying</span> to go back to <span class="mu-r">CHAA’TAI</span> right n-ghck!
A claw closes around your windpipe and <span class="mu-i">squeezes</span>...
“You know <span class="mu-i">NOTHING</span> about what I suffered in <span class="mu-r">CHAA’TAI</span>...” Snarls Rezalith as her eyes light up with renewed flame, “Not <span class="mu-i">YET</span>, anyways… but maybe I’ll finally send you there… <span class="mu-r">HE</span> can give you the tour…”
“HEY!” Roars Volka as she snatches the devil’s wrist mid-choke, “LET HIM GO OR-”
“What be goin’ on back thar!?” Salty Suutz shouts, adding to the already chaotic atmosphere of the kitchen, “Quit fritterin’ ‘round!”
“Just disciplining the chefs, Sudsy!” Rezzie explains! “Nothing to worry about!”
“Gorner’ be a long shift, it be…” While your new boss returns to his toils, Rezalith’s eyes head shift back towards you!
“Now then… where was I~”
Sensing your favorite Skog about to make a move, you choke out an answer through your squeezed throat! <span class="mu-i">If she truly loved all that evil stuff as much as she says,</span> you cough, <span class="mu-i">then she wouldn’t have wanted to be free…</span>
“Maybe I wanted a promotion! Ever think of that, hmm?” She hisses, leaning in closer to your face!
