[ as if to make things a little more awkward, little wisps of smoke start to rise from her head.

but her tone is still calm and neutral. ]

Devils have scary names...? Like what?

[halved]

[SWEATS.]

Like, um, the Cockroach Devil...? The scarier the name, the stronger its power.

[sootprints]

I never knew that...

Are cockroaches that scary?

[halved]

I just think they're gross, but... Most people find them scary.

... Though I doubt we're here because of the Cockroach Devil. It doesn't fit the theme at all.

[sootprints]

... Probably not...

Are there a lot of devils where you're from?

[halved]

It's more common to die in a devil attack than of old age. It's a shock nobody else knows what I'm talking about...

[sootprints]

I... can't imagine. I've only ever seen devils in storybooks... I didn't think they were real.

[halved]

I'm starting to think they're not real for a lot of the people here.

[she is HIGH KEY jealous]

[sootprints]

It sounds like you come from a dangerous place...

[halved]

It's just how it is. [...] ... What kind of place did you come from?

[sootprints]

Me?

[ there's a pause... ]

I live in a manor on an island... as a noble of the Shadows House.

[halved]

You're nobility?

[sootprints]

Yes.

[halved]

What is that like? I've never met a noble before, so...

[sootprints]

Most days, it's very boring.

Before my debut, I simply spent all of my time reading books in my room. Now I have a lot more social obligations... It can be a bit tedious.
