"All Shinigami have a Death Note. Those in the human world must have two. And you will never know how long you have left to live, though you would see the lives of others. I do, but it is forbidden to tell a human of their remaining lifespan, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't. "

At her last pair of comments, Auzar straightens up and lets out a genuine laugh, loud and booming, at odds with his hissing voice. His wings shake with the heaving of his chest and he rotates slowly in midair as he loses his concentration. Once he's regained control and righted himself, he replies:

"Wise words from one so young, though I must point out that I am not a demon. But the deal is always there, should you change your mind."

As she boards the bus, he stretches his wings to their full expansion and flaps, taking off and soaring into the sky, circling so far above that he's little more than a black speck. But he's always there, following her at a distance.
