"Still sounds like a newbie to me!" Shirley snorted, laughing at him without the noise. "But, I'll digress, Nick. I'm Shirley, but you'll probably forget it, right?" She tended to nickname people. In her eyes, he was either Nick or Polly, and Shirley supposed that she could always call him Polly if he annoyed her.

"Grace? Charm? Keep dreaming, Polly." Shirley found Nick to be pretty amusing, not annoying in the slightest. He was one of the few demons that didn't run away from her on sight. To her, this was very refreshing, but she was loathe to admit that this was the best conversation she had been engaged in in months.

"That guy must be an idiot, signing a contract with a demon." Shirley cackled. No one in the right frame of mind ever signed demonic contracts. It was simply what people did on principle.

"Probably... I dunno, 100 times?" Shirley thought about it. Nick did tend to always mention it. But, he had never mentioned Antigone before to her. "Antigone?!?" She chortled, grinning. "And, I thought Greenjacket was bad!" Mischievously, she reached up and ruffled his hair. "Now, you don't."

After listening to his incessant questions, she answered in order with ease. "I've been doing well. Can't claim any souls because of school policy, but I've been hunting and I get nourishment that way. I've been getting good grades in the classes I attend and Lily gets good grades in the classes she attends. Like I said, I've been eating fine, but no souls, which is a bummer."

The instant he mentioned her mother, a wave of emotion crashed over her. "Please don't mention my mother: she's dead." Shirley said quietly, looking down at her hands.
