William;

[moribound]

[Continued from here.]

Not much you can do about it, if they think you're in danger. Just what are they? [He's curious to know, if only because Kevin seems like some kind of divine being.]

[notsolomon]

They could be less intrusive...

[He sighed and looks upward for a moment.]

Demons. They are demons and three of them in particular hover around me a lot. Though I guess Camio isn't troublesome at all. But the other two...

[moribound]

[Demons are pretty familiar to Minato even if his aren't the real deal, so he shows no overt reaction until Camio is mentioned, at which point he's suddenly more alert and curious.]

Camio- you mean Caim, as in the Lesser Key of Solomon? [He's had some of them as Personas, and it's a little more intriguing than usual to hear of actual demons like this existing in someone else's world.]

[notsolomon]

Yes, though he always called himself Camio, or rather went by his human name. Usually I just refer to him as Headboy though. But yes, he is one of Solomon's demons.

[One of the William's demons too, but that wasn't the point right now.]

You know about the Lesser Key then?

[moribound]

[Head Boy? That sounds a little like my situation in the past...]

It's just a book in my world, but I've used some of the demons named in there- Ose, Decarabia and Orobas to mention a few, but we know of them as Personas.

[notsolomon]

Oh, you know them too? Well I mean, I have never met those ones before, but you have met demons as well?

[Wow there really was an unfortunately infestation going around, that boys their age were being regularly subjected to this.]

But Personas? Like a mask then.

[moribound]

No, I haven't. [But Minato does pause, thinking it over- what if demons had once existed in his world?]

A Persona comes from within...they take the form of characters from mythology, and I've seen worse than the demons Solomon commanded. [Thankfully he doesn't have to explain Incubus or Mara.]

[notsolomon]

From within? So is it like some sort of spiritual projection given a more powerful form then.

[Isaac was better about these sort of things.]

So a bit different then...

[moribound]

Very. [Even explaining something like this is tiring for Minato in his current state and he looks around, like he's finally considering shuffling off to a better place.]

I'm going to look for somewhere to rest...what are you going to do?

[notsolomon]

[He rises and stretches even thought it's pointless when he can't feel any of his muscles.]

I think I will probably go find Kevin. He is probably going to be agitated by now, especially in his current state.

[moribound]

I'm surprised he hasn't shown up yet. [Minato yawns once, cupping his mouth.] My name's Minato, what's yours?

[notsolomon]

Well like I said, whatever is going right now, it has not treated him very well.

[It was a bit worrying actually, seeing him in such a state.]

William Twining. But it is good to meet you Minato.

[moribound]

It's nice to meet you too, Twining-san. [Ah- it'll take Minato a while yet to stop bothering with honorifics altogether, it seems. He waves lightly then, turning in another direction.]

Give my regards to Cecil-san whenever you see him again, and take care- it's dangerous out there.

[notsolomon]

[He's heard "san" enough by now to understand it. A necessity with so many Japanese people here. So he just waves back.]

I will. Be careful, just in case the next robot isn't as nice.
