“ listen man, that all sounds very interesting, honestly— like, ‘led zep iv’ interesting. fact is, i still don’t care. ”
he’d seen all this before, the cockiness, the attitude, the obvious overcompensation of someone’s actual skills—hell, he was guilty of it all too, sometimes. however right now, all he wanted was to enjoy his drink in peace, maybe find a poor – but deserving – bastard to gank before dinner and this guy was letting him do none of those things.
“ if you’re looking for a fuck — which i doubt you are, i’d be happy to oblige. but if this is a whole demon intervention or a business offer or whatever, there’s the door. ”
“Demonic interventions rarely happen these days. For one, you have to be important enough, and for two? I highly doubt that anyone would be interested in giving up their time for nonsense.”
Not to mention that it wouldn’t have been beneficial for anyone. Hell, for good or ill had it’s own problems, and Ky’lar wasn’t about to stick his nose were it didn’t truly belong. He had problems of his own to deal with and they didn’t involve demon’s who burnt through bodies just for kicks.
“Though, I have to ask, do you truly think the entirety of creation revolves around you?”
you know, when he decided to take this whole demon thing and roll with it, he really thought he would finally be getting some peace of mind. no more saving people, no more being everyone’s dog, expected to roll on his back at the snap of their fingers. he would finally take care of himself. however, somehow—everybody was on his ass now, probably more than ever. and he was just about fed up with it.
“a prince, huh? real fancy. i’m sure you must be very important down there, but i really don’t give a rat’s ass. now, if you expect me to bend the knee or something, you’re in for a treat—”
“If everyone took the knee in my presence, the entire world would never be standing.”
It wasn’t a boast, but rather, it was simple fact. If everyone got on their knee’s around him, the entire world would be boring, and he would rather force them. Well, when he was motivated to do so at least, and that took patience — something he rarely had these days.
“So, no, I don’t think any self respecting Demon would these days —- the whole prince thing usually is just for very weird College parties and a few other more mundane things.”
