Not keen on getting disemboweled today, you channel your inner armchair psychologist and answer her question with one of your own: why does <span class="mu-i">SHE</span> think you’re not scared?
The reversal leaves the girl flatfooted and sputtering–so much so that she drops you back into your seat before resuming her pacing!
“I have my theories…” she muses like a scientist in a tv show! “If we operate under the fact that yes, I <span class="mu-i">AM</span> the most terrifying thing to ever cross your path, then there really are only a few conclusions that make sense…”
You blink some sweat out of your eye. Such as? Twirling to face you, Rezzie clears her throat as her wings flutter behind her!
“The simplest explanation is to assume you’re just too <span class="mu-i">stupid</span> to truly understand what you’re dealing with! Your underdeveloped brain simply can’t comprehend the danger you’re constantly in when you’re around me!” Leaning in with a derisive smile on her face, the demon gives your cheek a playful pinch… and it still hurts! OW!
“I almost envy you! Imagine not having the brainpower to register something as a threat… adorable, really!”
Okay, you huff as you yank yourself free of Rezzie’s pinching, what other ideas did she have?
“Well the ‘<span class="mu-i">Overwhelmingly Stupid Theory</span>’ is one of my favorites, but if not that, then well…” Her crimson eyes narrow at you like a cat’s as she studies your reclining form. “Then the only other possibility is appeasement!”
Appeasement?
“Mhm!” She nods, “You know exactly what I could do to you were I so inclined, so you’ve taken the route of pleasing me to stave off your inevitable destruction! Simple as that, really…pretty pathetic when ya’ think about it!”
So wait, you reply, your furrowed brow sending rivulets of sweat dripping down your face, she thinks you’re being nice to her just so she won’t kill you? The devil answers with her signature eyeroll.
“You really oughta’ try <span class="mu-i">thinking</span> one of these days… What other reason would there be? Y’know, it’s really a testament to my iron will that I haven’t put you out of your misery yet!”
Making a show of nodding at all the ‘theories’ you just heard, you respond by telling her you have one of your own! THIS gets Rezzie’s attention!
“Baby’s first <span class="mu-i">THOUGHT!</span> Waaaaoooow~”
Dear god, you hope you never hear her make that noise again…
>CONTD.
