The Gourmet's Lil'snack

Earth

Alex, who has been listening to the whole conversation, asks Thorne: "Is a demon supposed to white? And an angel to be black?"

She looked up at Alex, then at the other two. She rubbed the back of her neck. "I-I was curious about that...b-but wasn't sure how to ask...I-I couldn't tell who was what when I first saw you guys..."

"Well to put out simply, Zalifer is a repentant demon while Kaël here is a fallen angel. Their roles are kinda the contrary of what they are..." Alex clarifies.

Kaël scoffs as he crosses his arms, rolling his eyes again.

"Ooohhhh, okay." She looked between them again. Neither of them seemed bad to her still, but could see how maybe they each had their own ways of being opposites. "Well...aside from helping and taking care of Alex, what else do you guys do or like to do?"

"Taking care of a human is a full-time occupation," Kaël says, frowning.

"Either way, I like meditating and boxing!" Zalifer joyfully says.

"As if no one has noticed that..." the angel mumbled out, rubbing his side.

"But that guy likes to take care of his bow and read some erotic books," She says as she punches him again.

"Air-aw-tick? What's that?" Thorne blinked.

"Huuuuuhhh..." Zalifer expresses her sudden discomfort about explaining such a thing. Even Alex's ears turned red.

"sigh... Do you know lust and desire for sex? That is basically what the book is about while it should stimulate those desires." Kaël explains it as politely as possible.

Thorne stared and blinked at him. "....I have no idea what those things are but okay." She wasn't sure if she even wanted to ask based on Zalifer's reaction and Alex's face. Should she ask Humbert? ....Probably not.

Alex hides his face, way too embarrassed by such a topic. Zalifer's hair starts to shimmer as if it is about to take fire.
"Dude! She's a kid!" Zalifer hardly whispers as she punches the stomach this time.

"S-So what?! I have seen a toddler watching videos about it!" Kaël says as he tries to catch his breath. "And can you stop hitting me, you Brute Woman?!"

Thorne looked incredibly confused. She definitely wasn't going to ask anybody about what it was now. She looked between them all, fidgeting awkwardly. "Um...w-well what else do you guys like?"

"She likes hurting people!" Kaël accuse her.

"I-WHAT?!" Zalifer lets out, not believing her ears.

"Here we go again..." Alex shakes his head as the two of them bickered again. "As you can see they like to bother each other like an old couple."

The little borrower then got a look on her face like something finally clicked. "Oh! So they're married!" She smiled, tail wagging and proud she'd finally figured it out. "That makes sense!"

Alex burst laughing while the others looked at her before looking at each other before making a disgusted face. "We are not married!" Zalifer exclaims, not liking the idea of them making such an impression! "Do we really look like that?!" Kaël asks, his cheeks getting red.

She then became confused, looking between them again. "You're not?" They certainly acted like an old married couple. She'd seen many of them in the restaurant and from her own birth parents as well as her aunt and uncle before they all left.

"We are not!" they both said in unison which only makes Alex laugh even more. Alex winks at her in a way that will be their secret.

This all only made her tilt her head, even more confused than before. "O-okay?"
