"Well," The spirit said, and then he looked around, as though making sure that there was nobody else around to over hear them. "Can you keep a secret?" He said deviously. "But this game is a game that most mommies don't like their little boys playing. You're in, right?" There was a flash of something in the spirit's eyes; what might have been a childish excitement at doing something that he knew was not right, especially when it bothered a parent. But the roots of that flash went much, much deeper. That was something that the spirit could not get rid of, not for an instant. "I won't let you get in trouble, don't worry." The spirit promised. It had no intentions of doing anything overly drastic to keep said promise. This was merely one form of amusement. He would not take responsibility if something horrible happened.
