"Yup."

She tries to yank it out.

She tries it again.

"What was the difference the second time?"

"Second time I let you."

"...I think you are more indestructible than Tialle's Demon or any of the rest of his kind. So that's something."

"I like my indestructibility. It is very reassuring."

"I'm sure."

"And I would be very sad if all the other demons of my kind were to go extinct. There is a thriving demonic culture."

"Presumably your kind of demons aren't omnicidal rapists."

"Not usually."

"It was literally unprecedented for Tialle's Demon not to be."

"How'd he manage the trick, then?"

"We're not sure. We met him less than twenty-four hours ago."

"But you're quite sure that he isn't just a very subtle sort of evil because telepathy."

"And because unicorn. But yes."

"Unicorns. Something new every day. I assume this isn't just a heavily modified mundane ungulate."

"He was sentient and had a psychic connection to what I think might have been that world's God and was uncomfortable around my sister and I because we weren't virgins."

"What an interesting sort of non-mundane ungulate."

"I mean, he wasn't that unusual compared to some of the other people we've met. He wasn't even the only thing describable as a unicorn, although the other kind we met wasn't actually discomfited by our non-virginity."

"What was the other kind like, then?"

"Good at cleaning out tainted water sources."

"Handy in some situations, I guess."
