[X] "Not at the moment. What do you want to know?"
"Not at the moment, what do you you wanna know?" You shake your head, getting all of the soot out of your hair.
"That's not what I..." Kazuya sighs. "I am going to tell you about a certain behavior of demons."
"Oh. Whoops." You laugh with a smile.
With a shrug, he says, "Misunderstandings happen. In all seriousness, listen carefully. This is very important."
You walk a little closer to hear him better. Cerberus also closes in.
"Demons react to the phases of the moon." Kazuya begins, "More specifically, Full and New Moons. On a New Moon, they thin out, but stronger ones become more common. On a Full Moon, most demons frenzy so you won't be able to negotiate. In both scenarios, they'll be more aggressive than usual."
"Yeesh, thanks for the heads up." You reply, brushing off the soot that still covers your clothes. "Anything else I should know?"
"Stephen said something about Fiends, right?" Kazuya looks you dead in the eyes. His gaze sends a shiver through your entire body. "Don't fight them. If they're anything like the one I fought, they're insanely powerful."
You blink.
"I was getting thrashed most of the fight, so I can't tell you that much about it. All I remember is something about a bell."
"A bell?" Cerberus asks, "Similar to the one I once wore?"
"Wait, you put a bell on...?"
"It's a long story, and it's already late for me." Kazuya pinches the bridge of his nose. "I'll... See you around. C'mon, Cerberus."
Cerberus nods, turning to follow his master. Soon enough, they disappear in the darkness.
It's been a good night walk so far. You think, at least.
