I knew this place was full of some kind of magic. People acted like I was crazy.

Memory loss? And trees and plants everywhere. Magic always causes problems. We're all lucky it wasn't something much worse.

Oh. A joke. ... sorry.

Werewolves are dangerous. It's good to be prepared. I mostly hunt demons. Sometimes vampires, but they were new to me before I came here.

[sagittarium]

Not all of them are dangerous.

...I didn't think vampires and demons existed.

[waywardboy]

Not all, but a lot. Better to be ready.

The world is crawling with demons... most people just don't notice.

[sagittarium]

No, I know one- a few, really. I know most of them are, but the one I'm close to, he's good.

I think my family would have added it to their repertoire. They're over-achievers.

[waywardboy]

That's good. But you should still be careful. Okay?

Are they hunters?

[sagittarium]

He wouldn't hurt a fly unless absolutely necessary.

Pretty much. Like... everyone in the family is.

[waywardboy]

You really trust him.

Do they only hunt werewolves, or other creatures too? Or is that all you have? You said you didn't think vampires were real.

[sagittarium]

Of course I trust him. I- [She cuts herself off quickly.] He hasn't given me any reason not to.

As far as I know, it's only werewolves. I haven't heard of anything else existing.

[waywardboy]

What's it like? Having someone you trust?

It's hard for me to imagine a world without demons. ... it sounds nice.

[sagittarium]

It's- [She stops, thinking it over. She's never actually been asked this question before.] I can tell him anything and everything. There's no secrets between us.

Are you saying you don't have anyone you can trust?

[waywardboy]

I thought I had someone, but she's not here.

[sagittarium]

Well, if you need someone to talk you, you're more than welcome to talk to me.

[waywardboy]

You'd want to talk to me?
