"Yes, though only the first one is free so if you want to be here for a while and don't have money I can make you stuff to eat, I can make stuff."

"They don't really have money where I came from, what sort of stuff do you make?"

"Not antimatter."

"Can you make living things?"

"Yes but they come out stupid, if they were supposed to be brighter than a snail."

"You can't make neurons?"

"The neurons are there but do not work as they would be expected to. We don't know why."

"We?"

"My species, demons."

"Oh!" So not from her home.

"Can you make me a brain to look at?"

"...why?"

"So I can find out why it doesn't work."

"...what, are you a neuroscientist?"

"Sort of."

"Any chance you would cause it to... work? Because that seems like it might have ramifications."

"Yes."

"I don't think I know you well enough to embark on such ramifications together."

"Oh.... that's probably smart."

"Yeah, I think so."

"...I do bet I could have fixed them."

"I can think of situations where that could be useful, admittedly, but none I want to start experimenting with right here right now."

"What sort of situations?"

"Well, if I create the brain of someone who's died, maybe it has all the information on it and it just doesn't operate correctly, and if it could be made to do so they'd just be alive again, that would be neat."

"-you can create people who already existed?"

"...yes?"
