[ but he's smiling, and covering his mouth, so maybe she shouldn't not say it either. he holds back his giggles for a few seconds, and when he's finally sure he's got it under control he answers her question.
the smile doesn't last very long, with that one. ]
When the devil comes... I mean, it's exactly what it sounds like? [ he sighs out a bit of smoke, shaking his head. ] I already told you that we were the bad kids, right? And when you leave a bad kid alone for long enough, it only makes sense that the devil would show up eventually within them. And they let the devil in, and they are the devil, and the devil within and without them. After all...
[ he clears his throat, then recites: ]
"The devil is only the shadow of man cast from the light of god." Parables, chapter 1, verse 1. [ he doesn't sound proud. he just sounds... sad. ] When the devil does come, it usually doesn't go well for him. That's why we're in groups of three. One person to be left out, and two to drive the devil away through force.
