She laughs. "Well, as it turns out, she didn't bring us here and doesn't know who did. But we've become distracted by other concerns. Sovarith is annoyed about her curse and wants to kill the person who gave it to her."

"Really? Why?"

"Because it might have manipulated his mind and he strongly objects to that sort of thing."

"...Huh. Yeah, I can see why."

Pet pet. "So now we're planning to kill a god. Should be interesting."

"A god?"

"You know, for as much as you all react with shock and bafflement when we suggest killing one, I actually suspect gods are scarcer and more powerful at home, and there we were engaged in the project of resurrecting one, which is much trickier than killing them in the first place."

"I don't think I've ever heard of someone successfully resurrecting a god."

She chuckles. "If we'd had any interest in succeeding at the project, we might already have managed it. But the trouble with gods is they tend to want authority, and my brother and I enjoy keeping all of that for ourselves."

"They do at that. Why the pretense?"

"It's been the ancestral duty of the Endarkened to conquer the world for our dead god since he created us tens of thousands of years ago. We would have some trouble ruling our people if they thought we had given up on the task."

"Sounds like kind of a shitty god."

"Well, I don't mind existing. But nor do I plan to dig him up and let him run my life." Pet pet pet. What a good fluffy human.

"Just because you don't mind existing doesn't mean the person who created you wasn't shitty."

"It does, however, mean he's done at least one thing I don't object to."

"True enough." He leans into the pets. 

She kisses his forehead and pets his lovely fluffy hair.

Mmmmmmm.

"You two are way nicer than I would expect from strange otherworldly demons."

"I won't deny that we're unusually nice even for our kind. But I like to think there are practical benefits." Pet pet. "For example, it would be a lot of work to keep you all as captives. Much simpler to just charm you into staying with us voluntarily."

"It's working! I am very very charmed."

"I'm glad!"

She tilts his head up and kisses him.

He is already shivering with anticipation by the time her lips meet his. 

Awwww. What a good human.

She nibbles affectionately on his lip, drawing a few drops of blood.

He lets out a soft, pleased whining sound. 

Delicious.

She scratches her claws lightly down the side of his neck.
