"Hm. How about the dark family?"

"What about them?"

"What does 'dark' mean?"

"Involved in the occult."

"And what is the occult?"

"The supernatural, particularly those aspects of it that deal with demons."

"What are the supernatural aspects of the new world? Creatures, demons, magic, et cetera?"

"There are us. There are those chosen by the cards. There are those who belong to the world. And there are the Creator's creatures. Magic is commonplace, and there are many types of demons."

"How many other people are chosen by the cards?"

"Some few. I need not tell you how many."

"Hmm. What exactly does the dark family dabble with? Does its money come from that dabbling? How does it come from the dabbling? Is it known to be dark? Actually is the criminal family known to be criminal? How rich is the dark family?"

"Half-demon magic. I do not know. As before, I do not know. Yes, yes, very."

...mental note: do not ask many questions in a row. "What's half-demon magic?"

"The power of demonic blood, intermixed with that of mortals. The inherited powers of half-demons."

"You're so helpful! Is there stigma associated with using half-demon magic? How much of it, if so?"

"Yes, and it's strong enough to be inconvenient: however, it's mostly found in the lower classes of society."

"That's unexpected. What exactly do the lower classes think of it? And the upper ones?"

"They think of Lilim as corrupt, greedy, dangerous people. Some of them are."

"What are Lilim?"

"Those of the Hanged Man card."

"I'd thought people wouldn't know we were from another world?"

"Yes."

"Sooo... how can people think of Lilim as anything if they don't know who's Lilim?"

"I didn't say they wouldn't know that you were Lilim."

"...what did you mean by 'those of the Hanged Man card'?"
