_{DON’T GET TOO SMART,    THEY HAD TOLD THEMSELF,    BUT THERE THEY GO AGAIN.     running their mouth,     tongue unnailed.    he had deserved it.     he deserved their ire,       their spite.     he was both lucky and unlucky enough to be a demon through birth.     unlucky he was for his wretchedness,     but lucky for his rank,     to puff himself as proudly as a peacock without reprehension.}      

_{“i hope you don’t mind me saying….”      soft.     innocent.    certainly they were stupid;      couldn’t they learn to game the system without pissing someone off,     or without entering a pissing contest they couldn’t afford!?}

_{“but how could i ever forget,     MY LORD,       with how often you remind me?       i——”      GOD HELP ME,     THAT WAS STUPID.        “not forgetting hasn’t made me smarter.”}

_{HE WANTED SO BADLY TO RIP THE OTHER APART.       there was no reason BEHIND THE PERPETUAL want other than it would be AMUSING to hear their SCREAMS.     it wouldn’t hurt them — not really,      but it would just SHOW THEM THAT RESPECT WAS NEEDED.}

_{in some ways,   the only reason he DIDN’T MAKE THE MOVE was due to the fact it would have took far more EFFORT than he was willing to put forward. to rip a demon apart took MOTIVATION .  –  something that he didn’t quite have at the moment.     at least in the amount that was REQUIRED to do such a thing.}

_{“    let me give you some ADVICE,   ”   his tone was cold.      colder than he wished it to be, but it would GET THE JOB DONE.    “ learn your PLACE.”  he wasn’t done speaking, not by a long shot, but he did make sure to take a step forward as he continued on, “ or you’ll find yourself in WORSE condition than you are already.” it wasn’t a threat, it was more so a promise — he had RIPPED OTHER’S APART for less, but all the same, he was giving a WARNING.}
