06 | would that be fair if Messiah came and there was no one there?

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Meadow floor
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: Aleph keeps warm in the cold; unfortunately that means...
Warnings: Dick in a chariot.

[There were certain ways to keep warm in the cold, and building a campfire was tried and true. Aleph wasn't going to argue with that. His hands were cold enough that he wasn't going to waste time with traditional methods, however.

His unconventional methods included Mara. He was, after all, a powerful demon with mighty fire attacks.

Therefore: those who wish to huddle around the campfire on the meadow floor will have to share space with a shivering Aleph, and with the giant penis in a chariot that occasionally blows fire to keep the wood burning.]

[alephbet]

I'm giving him trade-offs every hour with the other one of my demons with fire magic. Between them, we can keep this up for a long time.

[technologic]

T-that's good. With how the temperature keeps dropping, I imagine you would have to do this for a while to stay warm.

[alephbet]

Are we only halfway through the month? Urgh...

[technologic]

I would offer to help, but I can't do much besides start fires... Plus I'm kinda iffy around fire in general, so...

[alephbet]

So no campfire in your room?

[technologic]

... It'll be a bit further away from my bed. I'm not gonna let my roommates freeze just cause I'm not too fond of fire.

[alephbet]

That's fair. I thought you wouldn't.

[technologic]

Mmm... Plus, if it's under control, it's okay. S'why I'm happy enough sitting close to it right now.

[alephbet]

You can count on Mara to be responsible.

[technologic]

Mm, right!

[And then turning to said demon:] Thank you, Mara.

[alephbet]

You're welcome, April.

Oh, he remembered your name.

[technologic]

[A blink and a smile.] O-oh... I'm glad to hear that. But I'm sure I haven't said my name around him before.

[alephbet]

I know, I've talked to him about you.

[technologic]

[Her eyes widen, and she glances at Mara and then back at Aleph.] Wait, really?

[alephbet]

Is it weird to talk to my demons? [Headtilt.]

[technologic]

Wha- Of course not! I just... didn't think you would talk about me to them.

[alephbet]

Well, you are a friend I talk to a lot.

[technologic]

Well, yeah, but... Well, I guess I thought I wasn't really that interesting, which is why I was surprised you told your demons about me.

[alephbet]

That's wrong. You are interesting and I want to learn more about you.

[technologic]

[There's a pause as she hugs her knees tighter to her chest.] ... Why?

[alephbet]

We're friends, right?

[technologic]

[Another pause and she nods.] Y-yeah, we're friends.

[alephbet]

That's a normal friend thing.

[technologic]

Mm... It would, er, depend on what you would want to know about, though. [But at least she's willing to try to talk now.]

[alephbet]

What are you comfortable with?
