I know what I'm told. People from his world have come and gone, and I've heard different stories. It... yeah. It is what it is. I didn't know him before he turned into a living duplex, so whoever he was before doesn't really matter to me.

[And on that note-- ]

You seem to think I'm totally incapable of protecting myself. I know I died, but that was a bit of a... thing. Y'know, if I feared for my safety, I wouldn't have the guy living with me.

Maybe you're not afraid because you don't know you should be.

Anders says it's a spirit, but anyone who knows a little about spirits and demons can see that isn't true. Spirits don't force others to see things their way and take control of mages, that's what demons do.

I know when I should be afraid, bucko.

[And if you listen really, really close, Jowan, you might be able to pick up on the "keep lecturing me, and you're gonna get a mini-missile wedged up your urethra" edge in his voice.]

The day he can't control himself, I'll start worrying. Til then, it's not a priority.

From:

Fine then. I'll talk about it with him if none of you will listen to me.

From:

oldironsides

[He's just the tiniest bit paranoid now. Tiiiiiiiiniest bit.]

Keep it to talking. Lay a finger on the guy, and I can promise you a first-hand demonstration on what you should be afraid of.

And it won't be coming from him.
