"It's hard to display that quality when all you can say is yes or no."

"So the population of thusly reputationed demons may be zero, which would prevent you from knowing about them, too."

and-i-believe

"Precisely."

"What inconvenient superstitions these alternate Earthlings have."

and-i-believe

"Demons can be genuinely dangerous, just not in that specific way."

"I believe you. All of the described powers are legitimately terrifying. But y'all seem to have human-range psychologies, which is more than I can say for most nonhumans I meet."

and-i-believe

"It helps that I was human once. Eli was not, I have no excuses for Eli."

"He seems nice. How'd you meet him?"

and-i-believe

"A student was measuring the relative efficiency of an angel versus a fairy at purifying water of various contaminants. Not one of the more exciting summons I've ever taken. Eli was the angel summoned, we got to talking, kept up through concordances afterwards."

Bella's back in an hour and a half with some library books.

By which time Ellie has a pretty good idea of how to start teaching her summoning!

"Welcome back."

cross_and_bow

"Thanks! Where do I start?"

and-i-believe
