"Look, it sucks to be a demon, okay? Especially in a place thyat caters toward humans more than not. But I like them a lot better than my own kind, so I came here. I did legitimate work, nya. But it's not enough to live on and most places won't rent to my kind. Half the stores don't want me inside. Can't hunt because of the AV field."
She squats down on her hind legs and stares up at Stratos.
"But there's another way to survive. It meant giving up my freedom, but I didn't have to struggle to get enough to eat anymore. I did a lyot of work, nya. Picking the right person. Someone who respected my work enough to hire me on. Only I didn't just take a job, see? We made a contract, you and I. You own my soul, mya. No matter how many times I die, so long as you call I can't stay dead. The rub of it is though....I cyan't disobey you."
She gives a shrug of her fluffy shoulders.
"Poof. Buh bye free will. If you wanted to you could make me walk around on all fours wearing a collar like some kinda sick pet. And I knew it. So I was careful. I liked the work I'd done for you in the past. Knew your magic was similar to mine. Figured...you know. I figured you wouldn't notice if I was careful."
This time she does avert her gaze. Every time he's ever called her she's been there. Every task he's ever given her she's accomplished and right away. She can't do anything else.
"An' before you ask I'm not draining yer life energy or nothing stupid like that so don't get yer panties into a knot mya. Ain't that kind of contract. I feed offa magnetite, which is a by product of sentient creatures living. Your soul nor your body can use it, but it's like a battery recharge for my kind. I respected you enough to give up my free will, I wasn't gonna make you kill yerself t'get it."
