Rasteva could not halt the stream of grumbles leaving them as the Human teased them."Hrmmph! Rude." The breeze worsened and Rasteva let out a string of curses but halted completely when the woman used her body to shield them. The Daemon was admittedly taken aback by the gesture of supposed kindness, but there was a tinge of bitterness to the feeling.

[i]"How weak I am, that I cannot even defend myself from the breeze."[/i]

The proud Daemon did not like the thought of depending on a HUMAN of all things to take care of their well being. But it was slightly worsened by how eager the woman seemed willing to help. It was utterly nonsensical. Humans were greedy, self-serving and power hungry. At least they'd always seemed that way as far as rasteva had bothered to recall. The Daemon studied the woman carefully, but couldn't make sense of her mood or thoughts. She still seemed excited, that much was obvious. But her inner thoughts were still a complete mystery to Rasteva. 

Her teasing certainly didn't help matters. Rasteva had always been a rather humorless individual and so they had difficulty sorting the truth from mockery when the woman spoke.[i] "What a headache."[/i] The Daemon could not stop the intrusive thought, though it was pushed aside when the Human revealed a pendant. This too was a concept alien to the Daemon. Sentimentality. Only Humans would bother to keep useless objects on their person for no reason than it made them happy. But it was indeed what Rasteva had asked for, wasn't it? And they supposed that it was better they take a vessel that the woman cared for rather than one she had no interest in keeping safe.

There was no more time to waste and so the small cloud zipped forward and dissipated wholly into the necklace the woman held. Despite being so small, the feel of metal did calm Rasteva somewhat. It was simple and easy to understand, far preferable to the strange and all consuming world they'd been thrust into.

Rasteva wasn't sure how they felt about Roses, however.

She'd done as they asked, without question. Though the woman was still staring at them with that curious and expectant gaze. Ah, that was right. Nothing came free, of course. Rasteva emitted a small 'hurrumph' and an even smaller 'Thank you' to the woman as they settled into their new form. "This is...fine. Human." They studied her in silence for a moment before continuning hesitantly. "Though I suppose that is not your name, is it? You do have one, yes? Well, while we're on the matter I am called Rasteva." The Daemon sighed gently, knowing that somehow they were in for a somewhat exhausting evening. But they'd chosen this. "And you have questions. I can tell by looking at you. Speak then, what is it you wish to know?"
