[Cole feels the hostility, maybe not the right word, wariness? Whatever it is directed at him, he can feel it and it makes him take a step back and then teleport back another step in a curl of black green smoke.]

Yes. It is. Unwinding, uncurling, unspooling worry that coils, catches, curious and cautious. You don't feel like most people. You almost feel like a mage, but you're not.

[Crowley raises an eyebrow, before folding his arms, leaning on the wall of the ship. He never likes it when people get in his head. Hell did it all the time, and he always found it deeply unsettling.]

No, I'm a demon. What about you? You're not human.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole looks panicked and teleports across the room, reaching behind him for weapons he doesn't have.]

No, no no no, not demons, you should be in the Fade, not here, here isn't good for you!

[He reaches out again, but for all that Crowley says he's a demon, he doesn't feel like one. There's no overwhelming emotion, Cole can't see what he is.]

You're... are you a demon like I was? Drawn too tight, taut, tangled, tripping over the world.

[onlyanapple]

[Luckily Crowley is used to people freaking out about the demon news. ]

I'm not the kind who actually goes about slaughtering people before you-

[No wait.]

You were a demon?

[killedwithlove]

I think I was a demon. Solas says the only difference between a spirit and a demon is people's opinion.

I wasn't a spirit. But I was a spirit. I killed people, but I thought I had to to help them. I can't see who you are, and if you were a demon, I would be able to.

[onlyanapple]

Sounds a bit like angels and demons, to be brutally honest.

[He gives a soft huff, because wow, he is SO TOO a demon. Just...the worst one. Ever.]

Well, demons are different in every world.

Name's Crowley.

[killedwithlove]

Crowley is a person's name, not a demon's name.

[Much like his own name. He knows how these things work.]

I'm Cole.

[onlyanapple]

My real name is a little hard for mortals to pronounce.

Nice to meet you, Cole. Welcome to the Pathstone.

[killedwithlove]

I'm not a mortal. I'm a spirit.

Hello, the Pathstone.

[onlyanapple]

I'm pretty sure the ship isn't going to answer you back.

But hey, it might, who knows.

[killedwithlove]

It won't talk to you if you don't talk to it first. Most things are like that.

[onlyanapple]

I-

...That makes a worryingly large amount of sense.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole nods, calm and sage-like.]

If you talk to them, they might have things to tell you.

[onlyanapple]

I'll bear that in mind, some time.

Nice hat.

[killedwithlove]

Thank you! I like my hat. It's mine.

[onlyanapple]

It suits you. Got that whole...mysterious person of mystery thing going on about it.

[killedwithlove]

I'm not mysterious. I'm just Cole.

[onlyanapple]

Just Cole, huh? And what does being just Cole entail?

[killedwithlove]

Helping people.

Sometimes killing people, when they won't stop hurting others.

[onlyanapple]

Huh. Got one of those superhero deals going for you, then.

[killedwithlove]

What's a superhero?

[onlyanapple]

Someone who goes about doing good deeds and the like. Protecting the innocent, yadda yadda.

They usually wear tights for some reason. I don't think that's obligatory, though.

[killedwithlove]

I don't like when people hurt others. I try to make hurts... ache less.

They wore tights in Halamshiral. They didn't look very practical.

[onlyanapple]

Noble cause, really. If you think about it.

No, they come across as rather chafing.

[killedwithlove]

Is it?

I don't know. I've never worn them.
