"N-no!"

Chip attempts to shrink behind the head of the Gogoat they're riding on, nervous and a little confused. This man looks like he should be of the Wilds, if anything, but he doesn't feel like that at all. He feels red, mostly, with what's more like an odor of Below than anything part of him. It's...weird.

"...the magic won't let me get home." Since, you know. He's probably wondering what Some Kid is doing out so late.

[psionicmolotov]

Coming from Toril - and being introduced to this place - he's not very inclined to question what a child is doing out at such late hours, especially with Pokemon in hand. It's none of his affair, after all, and with such creatures by their side, even a small child is protected.

"It is a rather annoying discovery," he surprisingly agrees at Chip's words, looking at them with a piercing, unsettling gaze. "Even with all powers restored, neither of us are able to return to the place we once inhabited. It is very troublesome - even if this place has become a pleasant respite, it is merely a prison without the ability to leave."

[demonpuppy]

Oh god he's staring at them can he tell they're evil he can tell can't he is he gonna get angry he's gonna yell oh no oh no oh no--

...wait, no he's just. Talking? A lot, actually; they miss most of what Kimmuriel is saying between their anxiety and getting failing grades in English class. The bit about being stuck manages to land, at least.

"It sucks we can't go home. But I like here better anyway, we have Paliens and I get to be normal!"

[psionicmolotov]

He raises his eyebrows, his expression softening a little into curiosity - perhaps even a little understanding. "Is that an aspiration for you?" Despite his stare, it seems to be a genuine question.

[demonpuppy]

Uh-oh. Chip shrinks down a little more, looking away with a mix of shyness and shame. Chip doesn't want to admit anything, even if he can tell, but...

"...'S what people're supposed to be..."

[psionicmolotov]

It seems that no matter the culture or species or even world, some things are a constant. In Menzoberranzan, children are beaten into shape - both metaphorically and literally - whether they aspire to it or not, and so this particular anxiety is not...unfamiliar to him.

He is what someone made him to be, after all. And even before, when he was so moulded, he was scorned regardless.

"Will that goal bring you satisfaction?" From all he can read off this child, that doesn't seem to be the case. But some are oddities like that. "No one individual is the same as any other regardless."

[demonpuppy]

The Gogoat snorts and takes a few steps forward, starting to get curious about this odd-smelling trainer. Chip startles a bit but doesn't tell it to stop, instead keeping their eyes on the stranger.

"...I don't wanna hurt anyone." It's the truth, but also the only safe thing to say. No one trusts what a demon would say, and for good reason. "What're you?"

[psionicmolotov]

He doesn't move at all. He sees no threat in them, not even with the thoughts they harbor. He thinks he would well be able to defend himself from the worst of a child's temper, though that is unlikely given how timid they seem.

"Anything is capable of hurt. Even a simple pebble can be fatal in the right circumstances. I have never found much use for conforming, unless it is for survival." And it tastes bitter in his mouth, certainly, to have to do such things to survive.

It is still a novelty, to see humans - or, at least, creatures that look like humans - that do not know what he is.

"A drow. A dark elf. You are not familiar?"
