<span class="mu-r">You’re not exactly <span class="mu-i">AGAINST</span> it, you reply, cautiously measuring every syllable, but if he’s been able to see everything you’ve seen then he knows the last encounter you had with a demon didn’t go so hot… Your answer earns another raspy laugh from Red!
“HAH! Good ole Rezzie… Chaa’tai ain’t the same without that lil’ firecracker skulking around, it’s true!” He wheezes with a shake of his head! “We’ll circle back to her later, don’t you worry…”
Shouldn’t he be a little more worried? She <span class="mu-i">IS</span> their queen, aft-
This time the devil nearly falls out of his seat! Doubling over in hysterics that rattle the whole… well, wherever you are, the cowpoke barely manages to stammer out a few words amidst his violent laughing fit!
“Q-<span class="mu-i">QUEEN!?</span>” He chokes as his cigarette tumbles out of his claw, “H-Hells… if… if she’s a queen, pard, then I’m a PRINCESS…”
With one last steadying breath, the devil reclaims his cool cowpoke aura! “Hoowee…. And lemme tell ya, kid: I ain’t <span class="mu-i">THAT</span> kinda royalty… phew… Queen… ain’t that a kick…”

The cowboy takes you apart piece by piece with his gaze before answering with a laugh and a shake of his head!
“See, I knew I liked something about you, kid: ’d be a damned waste for you to die right now…” Shrugging his broad, jacketed shoulders, the cowboy-hatted hellion confirms things with a nod!
“What the hells, why not? ‘Sides, I’m all for fosterin’ more trust an’ the like…” Shaking hands, Red’s tone takes a turn for the grave.
“Now how about I show ya’ what a deal with a devil is all about?</span>
