I don't think I know enough people to be surprised yet.

[onlyanapple]

Well, maybe you can work on that here. Lots of people about.

[shamisens]

[ Kubo plucks a string. He's never made many friends or acquaintances. The overwhelming presence of people who want to know him since he got here makes it hard to believe it's a good thing. ]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives him a little thumbs up. ]

Don't worry. It gets easier the more you do it.

[shamisens]

You really think so?

[onlyanapple]

I know so. I speak from vast experience.

[shamisens]

[ He squints. ]

Vast how?

[onlyanapple]

About six thousand years worth? Give or take.

[shamisens]

[ His posture gets a little more guarded at that remark. ]

Vast experience doesn't mean much when you're living with other people.

[onlyanapple]

Suppose it doesn't, but technically I'm not supposed to be living with them. Plus, I'm not really 'people'.

[shamisens]

That's not how it works. You become people when you live among them. It changes you.

[onlyanapple]

I-

[He pauses for a moment, before letting out an exhale. An exhale he absolutely doesn't need to exhale at all. ]

Okay, you have me there. They really do get under your skin.

[shamisens]

[ Kubo is unimpressed. ]

I'm sure that's all they do.

[onlyanapple]

Eh. Depends on the person, really. And I'm not exactly what you'd call a regular demon- for a demon where I'm from anyway. The rest of them are much less inclined to play nice with humanity.

[shamisens]

[ Kubo sighs. ]

Yeah. I know.

[onlyanapple]

Somehow, I thought you might.

[shamisens]

My mother came from the Heavens. So did the rest of her family.

[onlyanapple]

That would explain why you know about the Heavens, then. Did they chose to come to Earth of their own violation, or were they forced?

[shamisens]

Only one of them did. My mother left because she fell in love with a human.

[onlyanapple]

For real? Well, good on her. Hope it made her happy. You can make a good life, doing that.

[Projecting much, Crowley? ]

Did the rest of your family come down unwillingly, then?

[shamisens]

They didn't really come down to join us.

[ More the extreme opposite. ]

[onlyanapple]

[Oh. Well. ]

I'm taking it they didn't approve of your mother's romantic choice?

[shamisens]

[ If Kubo was a rude, less mature child, he'd snort. ]

They made that very clear.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley pulls a face, he clearly doesn't approve. ]

Well, that's just bullshit. It's not their place to control who you mother loves, no matter how high and bloody mighty they think they are.

[shamisens]

Does it matter?

[ It's kind of late at this point. ]
