Eris saluted, only half-sarcastically. "I will follow your lead, boss." She wondered, though, who exactly classified as a "weirdo"? She wouldn't call either of them normal, but it wouldn't be too hard just to follow orders and keep her mouth shut, right? ..... right? Grimacing to herself behind Molyneux' back, she resolved to at least talk a bit less and ignore strangers. Mostly ignore strangers?
Yeah this was going to work out well.
Eris followed Molyneux out the door, listening carefully. "Sounds like a good cause, especially if the child has any obvious demon traits. What kind of demon is it?"
It was dark outside, but Eris' vision adjusted easily enough. The moon was a slim crescent, deepening the shadows between streetlights and garish store signs. The streets were fairly busy, but once they got on the subway and off again in an unfamiliar section of town, it was much quieter. There were still street lights, but instead of shops there were small houses. The Japanese suburbs, she supposed, row after row of houses that were largely similar. Here and there a few people walked down the sidewalks, giving stray glances to the strangers, but it was a stark contrast from the bustle of the area around the bar.
The hairs on Eris' neck stood straight up. She wasn't used to the thick almost-silence of the neighborhood surrounding them, and it was making her paranoid. She trusted her instincts, but she also knew that her instincts naturally distrusted areas when what her idea of "normal" background noise was absent. But, she thought as she delicately sniffed, it also might be that there were quite a few demons in the general vicinity, and that hadn't usually meant good things for her in the past.
