Teajay felt her shoulders stiffen just before Blythe spoke. The...other being, the thing that made its home in Blythe's chest, had focused its attention on her; the thing that called itself a demon. Teajay liked Blythe, she really did, but it was so hard to get close to her. Not only because of the demon and its pull on Blythe's soul, but the rage, the pain, the fury that drove the woman radiated off her like heat from a forge. Every time Teajay thought about asking her out for a drink, she wondered if the cocktails would vaporize before they got to enjoy them. There were, of course, times for that sort of thing, that kind of fierce, furious potential, but...well. Not now, certainly.

She could hear the thing that shared Blythe's body, but Teajay couldn't understand it. The language was one she didn't speak, or perhaps it merely chose not to let itself be understood. The words arrived via something other than her ears, stripped of any meaning other than malice and a dark, distant desire. In that way, the demon wasn't really different from her DMs, but somehow it always seemed more immediate, more potentially dangerous. Teajay expected they would probably have some kind of reckoning, eventually - that's how that story goes, after all - and she honestly had no idea what would happen. If there were avenging angels, the red right hands of the Highest, Teajay wasn't one of them. She listened and she spoke, and that was that.

Wasn't it?

The distant rumbling of the thing in Blythe faded, and Teajay shook her head, clearing her thoughts. She blinked, and noticed Adri having arrived, her dark coat making her one more vaguely sinister figure in the increasingly busy alleyway. A cop, whether she left the force or not; her bearing stiff, proud, official. There were reasons that she came to join the spooky side rather than stuffing her truth down and staying on the force, but from what Teajay could tell, the job never left you. 

"Blythe's got what we know," Teajay said, gesturing at the other woman with a thumb, "It's a little early yet. But you're right, camera footage isn't that hard to come by most of the time. You wanna take Blythe and go see if you can sweet-talk your way into the security offices for that building? See if that cam caught anything? This one feels weird enough that I'm guessing we probably shouldn't be alone."

Teajay pointed at Alcander, "And before you fall asleep on your feet, c'mon. If there's more of this stuff, let's see where it leads. Adri says there's some dumpsters up the alley with more of this stuff on it. Between the two of us, we can probably move 'em, see if there's something under or behind them."
