This room, it wasn't one that looked like an actual room. For a second Ryan was worried they'd stepped outside. However, he realized there really was four walls around him. It was hard to see the ceiling through the vines and moss growing down, but it was there. Through the thick, swampy grass that had formed on the ground, there was furniture with rotting wood. Most of it wasn't even green; It was black, brown, and red.

The place smelled like a swamp too. Suddenly, a body fell down from the thick vines. At first it startled him to see a being dangling there. Then the face of the victim smirked, showing a sinister smile. With her feet still tangled up in the vines, she swung back and forth with a small laugh. 

"Get down from there." Shae growled.

"But I'm stuck." She replied teasingly.

Her voice was similar to Ghost's in the way that it was too high to be male but too low to be female. It was perfectly in between. She had a flat chest like a man's but curves like a woman. In the center of where boobs would be if she had any, there was a spider tattooed. Her black and maroon hair managed to defy gravity as she hung upside down.

"You and I both know that's not true. If you come down from there, I'll let you meet the new aid." He offered.

Dusk sighed, "Oh, I suppose."

She released her spell on the vines and landed perfectly on her feet somehow. Pulling out a cigarette from her back pocket, she snapped her fingers to get a light. Dusk was smaller but the amount of evil radiating off of her was enough for a hundred demons. She carefully stepped closer to her aids with a vixen's smile.

Dusk blew her smoke into Ryan's face, "Well, hello there. Dusk Asími, pleased to meet such a handsome gentleman."

"You're a sweet talker, I see." He replied, "Ryan." 

"Cute. So, will you be treating me instead of sourpuss here?" She spoke gesturing her smoke towards him.

"I don't know yet. I'm only in my training right now and I haven't been told which patients I'd be assigned afterwards." He explained.

She placed her hand on his shoulder, smiling, "Well, I truly hope you become my caretaker. I'd enjoy getting to see such an enticing creature every morning and evening."

"That's enough, Dusk. Don't make me spray you with water." Shae said.

"I'm not a dog." She sneered.

"Then stop humping his leg like one. I don't have much time today for games, as there are very important things to attend to in the manor. Be a good girl and take your meds."

Dusk scoffed and turned away from them. She leaned over her bed, of which was torn to bits. With a smirk she looked over her shoulder at Ryan to make sure he was looking at her ass. She relaxed on her sheets on her stomach, taking drags off her cigarette.
