| Notes ▶︎ "Do you want me to kill him-?â âSeriously⌠Baal! Will you stop doing that!â âDoing what?â âSuddenly appearing out of nowhere.â âWell, where do you want me to appear from?â âJust not⌠out of thin air. Unannounced! Canât you wear a bell or something?â âDo not insult me! I am not a housecat!â âIâm aware! A cat would be easier to deal with. And, weâve had this discussion. You can't just go around killing people." âI can. It is what I am designed for. My purpose. Anyway, I doubt it will be any loss to humanity.â âNo!â âWhat do you mean âNoââŚ.â âI mean, weâre not killing the guard. Heâs just doing his job.â âHe is a drunk. And a sloppy one at that. This is the second time he has excused himself since his shift started. He must have a bladder the size of a plum. Look, his weapon is still on the table next to the⌠What is thisâŚ? ugh⌠rumâŚâ âWill you stop touching stuff!â âI could make it look like an accident. Or natural causes. No one would question if he choked on his own vomit!â âNo! It would look suspicious. A dead guard. Prisoner mysteriously disappears. Iâd have my face on Baillyâs wall and a bounty on my head by the time the sun rises.â âYou sap the fun out of everything.â âKilling is not supposed to be fun.â âClearly, you have not been doing it correctly!â âDeath is not always the answer. And like I said, itâs not going to help in this situation.â âWe would not have to listen to him masticating his food, or respiring... That would help me.â âThatâs it? Chewing loudly? Thatâs enough to sentence him to a painful death?â âIf it makes it any more palatable, it is not his only sin⌠Do not roll your eyes at me⌠And are you not being a tad hypocritical. Killing someone is exactly why you are in this predicament." "I didnât kill anyone.â âSemantics! You provided Wren the potion. You ground the aconite, knowing it would be fatal to the man⌠wolf⌠whatever he was. Why is it ok for you to curtail someoneâs life, but not me?â âItâs not the same thing." "Why, because when you do it, it is for the âgreater goodâ, and when I do it-" "He got off lightly! He deserved far more!â âI do not doubt it, Leigh. I have no issues with the man's demise. It is the double standard I cannot abide!â âDonât talk to me about double standards. We are leagues apart! I⌠do not eat people! I... do not suck out their souls! I⌠do not keep you up half the night crunching on their bones and then whining about bits being stuck in my teeth!â âThat was one time⌠And I cannot help it if I have dietary requirements. The fact that you would bring that up knowing the limitation I have to endure in the mortal realm⌠Human flesh is the only thing that sustains me. And it is only once a month. I have cut back dramatically. You are constantly killing things to eat.â âRabbits! They are RABBITS! It is NOT the same thing!â âStop shouting! Someone will hear you and then you will have to explain why you are talking to yourself⌠Again. Extracting you from this iron prison is one thing, escaping a straitjacket and a padded cell... far trickier.â âWell, stop being ridiculous.â âHumans⌠Rabbits⌠they are both vermin.â âWhy couldnât I be bonded with a normal familiar...? A nice cat. Or perhaps a raven. Anything BUT HELL SPAWN!â âWhat is it with you and cats⌠This is not a dream partnership for me either. Do you think I want to be here? It is cold and miserable. And let us not forget who called on who. I was quite happy, minding my own business, in Hel. You are the one who decided, on a whim, that you were lonely and wanted a âspiritual companionâ.â âI wanted a spirit animal.â "Well, you got me! I can shift into any animal you want. Except a cat!!" âYouâre a monster.â âYes, I am. And yet, you have absolutely no problem mouthing off at me every chance you get. So clearly, I am not a very intimidating one!â âMaybe, Iâm just a monster too.â âOh please⌠Now who is being ridiculous.â "No, seriously, I mean I hurt everybody. Even my kin turned their back on me." "Your Coven-" "Ex-" "They are idiots. And your grandmother is a fool!" âYouâve said it yourself; I've killed people... What does that make me...? "Interesting...? Complicated...?â "Baal..." âYes, Leigh. You have fleeting moments of darkness, but they are quickly swallowed by gallons of guilt so that they may as well not exist! We are not the same. I was forged in blood and fire for the very purpose of eating souls. To be a monster. I've trained for millennia to hunt and kill. You are just⌠Well, you are youâŚâ âDonât laugh at me. I was born with a conscience.â âA very human and pointless trait that I have no need of. Though it is endearing on youâŚâ "I'm not human..." "Obviously, Witch... Otherwise, we would not be having this conversation." "I am sorry." "For what?" "For binding you, to me... It wasn't my intention." "You called. I answered. There is no changing that now. No going back. I am yours. Your own personal monster. You would think you would show more gratitude!" "I guess I can live with that." "Shame... I do not believe the guard will." "No-" "Too late. Now, let us get you out of here. Shall we." "You are cleaning that up." "Hmmm... Delicious!" Lyrics ▶︎ |
