"But you just lit a cigarette, and this man poofed a contract," Mimi replied to the tiny wizard a bit nervously, "But, um, I didn't mean to imply that you were... lesser. I truly didn't seek to hurt-"

Just then, she felt a strong hand clamp onto her shoulder and saw a man lean in out of the corner of her eye. A hooded man. Her eyes widened in fright, and terrible thoughts swam into her mind as he spoke. What if this stranger was one of those very ruffians? A ruffian whose only joy was bringing his meaty fist to strike the soft flesh of fragile Human girls? Or worse, he could be a kidnapper like big sis had warned her about.

Then, he began laughing. A horrific laugh that told Mimi that, without a doubt, this man wanted to [i]eat her[/i] tonight. Her eyes widened even more, and she quickly darted away from him. She gazed into the visage of he who had accosted her, and saw only a smile. A sinister smile. He spoke now to the Demonoid, as if nothing had happened. This was perhaps the most frightening of all.

"H-how can you trust [i]him[/i]? How can we trust you? You want to make me your dinner, I know it! Well, I don't taste very good," she cried out. She hoped that that fact alone was enough to get him to leave and not try to eat her.
