“You’re not here because of Asmodeus?” Jack asked. That was…somewhat reassuring, at least, but he didn’t let himself relax just yet. A demon was still a demon, after all, and just because he wasn’t working for the one in a white suit didn’t make him friendly. “What fuss– oh. You mean me. You’re here because of me.”
“because i’m interested.” there was a major difference between working for asmodeus and himself, but there was doubt the other would understand. in truth, all he wanted was to see why hell was interested in the kid, and go from there. so far, he didn’t really see the big deal – not really at least. “not due to some demon who’s been in hiding for years.” or… someone who looked like they came out of a tv commercial. “rather, since i want to know why you’re so important,” a pause, “and why i should stay away.”
