The creatures voice was small and carried a clear tone of distress. Fear wafted off of her and danced about before his nose. Her next questions affirmed his idea that humans were in fact stupid. Did they not take the incantations seriously? Perhaps they wished to play with demons like how demons played with them... Although, of course, that was only impossible and annoying. He knew of a few stories concerning summons- humans often sought power or some other worldly desire. But there had been cases where humans wanted only the demon- as some slave or whatever- which was a laughable idea. Middle men like himself were very much limited in their abilities for that reason- so that if the human were to find a way to keep the demon trapped {because it has happened before} then they would not be much of a worry for the underworld. [i]Wishes[/i] was such a strange term for this transaction. He saw the trade for soul and desire as something far from fairytale. Xezerom looked down at her hand, it was so small in his, and he was suddenly struck with the naiveté of this human. Such a child, he thought bitterly, mind filled with nothing but dreams. He was curious as to what exactly this delusioned (not even a word omg) and ill-informed creation "wished" for. Dark lips curled back over his chain-saw teeth, a cordial smile spread across his ugly face, "Yes- wishes are my business. I grant them. They come true." He informed, haltingly. He extended a claw over her wrist, it glinted despite the darkness. By drawing the blood from her vein into his claw then he could sign the contract for her- which would grant her wish and take her soul either now or once the desire was quenched. His movements were measured and formal- for this was his first ever transaction- and he was sure that his master was somehow watching. One slip up would drag him back in to hell and demote him to some slave status. Avoiding such a fate was his major priority. So he paced and measured himself against what he truly wished to say and do. Relying now on his studies. (Imagine... A school for demons. Idk xD Like Demons reading out of a textbook how to possess humans and make contracts with them idk i'm making it canon)
