Her cheeks are flaming and her rage at me has crumbled. I am relieved and disappointed. Shes very...delectable when she's angry.
She finally gathers words to speak and says "Will it effect me ..you know feeding off me"
"Yes if I was to cut into your regular life essence and not finish you off you'd deal with mental disorders and suidal thoughts, however, if I feed off of the surplus someone makes when they are aroused I can stop after I use the surplus and I am fed and I can stop so you will not experience any problems I simply fed off what you...leaked" I say and wink at her .I can't resist smiling as her face goes scarlet again.

"Steering away from that subject I have planned on this dinner being the time I answer all questions you ask me regarding what you witnessed last night" I tell her. And a twang of affection enters me for her. Once again I contemplate if its possible to love when you no longer have a real heart.

She waits till she can speak again and stutters over it a tad bit while trying to crash through her embarrassment.
"H-how are your scars not showing."
"I have learned over the years on this realm to put a glamour over myself the scars are still there just not visible without a supernatural eye" I respond noticing her try harder to focus as if she somehow possessed such a gift.
She doesn't miss a second and says "when you get angry some of your hair spikes are those like horns?"
"No in fact that's a gift from Xalvo who is originally a dog . That attribute is not dissimilar to the way a dogs hackles raise when they are mad or threatened" I answer and once again feel that attraction and I wish to storm up and wrap her close to me. I fight off the feeling and regain myself and wait for her next inquiry.
"So your bonded with Xalvo supernaturally?"
"Yes that's correct"
"So are you more demon or more dog" she says curiously
I sit still and think about the question myself and realize I've never really thought about that myself.
"I guess sometimes I'm more one and sometimes I'm more the other" I say as honestly as I can.
"Last night you were covered in tattoos where'd you get those" she asks
"Each one of them is self given and and each one helps me become accustomed to life in the Overworld the ones on my hands allow me to glamour myself to appear human .Later you may ask me about any of them and I'll explain them" I answer and peel away some glamour on my arm to show some to her. I realize I'm showing off and have no idea why and wrap it back up.
Sometime passes before she says "why did you choose me?"
"Choose you for what"
"To share your true self with"
I think awhile and wonder for a second and say the only thing that I really can
"Because I couldn't bring myself to kill you"
She blushes and smiles at me and I can't help but think she's a tad bit suicidal for staying around. I remind myself that mortals are rather mentally fragile. She keeps smiling and says "I'll try my best to be worth it .. You know cause I took a meal off the market for you"
The fear I saw last evening is gone she's blatantly making jokes about my nature. I have to admit it only makes me more interested in her.
"Smartass" I say and she smiles and I feel that pang of affection and I give in to it letting myself enjoy it.
I was human once after all even if I can't remember when that once was. Sometimes I contemplate on what I possibly could've done to have been sent to the Pits.
"How come you don't have wings?" She asks me, I say wings are a stereotype actually the only demon with wings is.... Lucifer. "Do you have any sort of powers if you do what are they? Can you show me them?" She asks, " well yes I am able to do things mortals cannot and I think it'd be rather useless to have a show I'm sure they'll be instances you see my abilities". I say. Xalvo enters the room. He says "Madame and Master Vangraff I wanted to ask you if I may come back and maybe help answer some questions". I say " yes of course Xalvo." Xalvo sits down next to me. "Xalvo this question is for you why was you updating books?". " well madame the ones I update are the memoirs for master Vangraffs life. All the other books in the library are master Vangraffs studies." "How long have you been alive?".
She asks me ,her blue eyes are intense the more I stare into the more I just want to attack her I say too her" I really don't know how long I've been alive there is no sense of time In the Pits. I've been on earth for 600 years since I came out." "That's a long time" she says I have one more question Do you love me?."
I hesitate to answer that. I say to her " I think I do and if you take that harshly then I deeply apologize but I haven't experienced love at least 600 years." She blushes a little bit and tries to hide her cheeks. She's so amazing. She says to me " I didn't take that harshly Noah to be honest I love you too." He smiles wide and I smile too and he gets up and says its been a long night how about we all retire to our rooms Xalvo goodnight". Xalvo says "goodnight Master Vangraff and Madame". And he bows. She says "goodnight xalvo". I grab her hand and bring her to my room and I change in the bathroom into my sleeping attire, I walk out and she's in this skin tight black nightgown its to her midthigh " she says I found this in a pile of clothes you left for me". I linger on her body for awhile and she climbs into the bed and she says "goodnight Noah" and smiles wide. I climb into bed and says "goodnight blue eyes" and I lay down and she lays down and I look over and she's curled up with her hands by her mouth and she's already drifting off to sleep and I look back at the ceiling and I begin to drift off myself. I have a last thought before falling asleep that keeps reoccurring .

I love her
