He grins. "I noticed."

"And here I thought I was being so subtle." Snuggle. Kiss.

Kiss. "The orgasms were a bit of a hint."

"Mmmmmmmm." More kiss. "What's your name?"

"Khythen."

"I'm Nerine. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. Even if realizing humans are people isn't the most comfortable thing ever to happen to me."

"Yeah, I'll bet it's not." Snuggle.

Pensive snuggle. "You're into it but you're not the only one I've ever--"

"Yeah."

"I can just--not, anymore--but I don't think I can convince the others--"

She hugs him.

Hug.

"You're very forgiving," he murmurs into her hair.

"You're the first person who's been nice to me in a month. What am I gonna say? 'Fuck off'? Anyway, it's... you don't have to make 'demons should stop being such assholes to humans' your thing. There's lots of people who know it's a problem and don't make it their thing. If you want to and think you can get somewhere, then sure, but if you can't..." Shrug. "Personally, I find my ambitions limited by circumstances. I want to get out of here alive someday. Doesn't even have to be soon. Everything else is details."

"...I don't know if I could get anywhere in the general case but I'm pretty sure I could get you out of here alive."

Snuggle.

Her other hand has mostly burned off now. He grows it back.

She clings to him, moaning raggedly.

He kisses her. And elongates his tongue and pulls a variant on the lung trick.

Oh wow that's nice.

He pinches off one of her fingers.

fuck

It takes him less than a minute before his hips stutter and he comes with a full-body shudder.

She leans on him to catch her breath. "Mmmm."

He heals all her injuries.
