the continued questions of her home brought on curiosity.
she definitely couldn’t tell him it was over a hundred years
ago and such a thought made her smile falter a little. “..so
long ago that the memories are fuzzy.” that was a lie but

For all he knew, she could have meant a cruel human (of which there were plenty in the world), but intuition told him it went beyond that. Far beyond that. The existence of such beings as demons had never been a cause of concern for him, though he figured anything was possible. He wouldn’t be surprised if she herself was one. Unlucky for her that he saw through the deception. “I see. I’m sorry for your loss, then.”
