"Why shouldn't I ramble too much? Rambling is a sign of a thoughtful person, and being thoughtful is everything I stand for. Of course, I always stand for chairs," Polynices said, about to go on a spiel, before catching himself. "Nevertheless, you have my sympathy. Um, empathy. Pathos? Understanding? You know what I mean."

Polynices grinned when Shirley agreed (or, at least, appeared to agree) with his proposed loophole. Finally, someone actually liked his ideas! Other than stealing his literature essays from the time when Polynices still went to school, no one really took notice of his ideas. So, that little affirmation, no matter how small, meant something. “Poor villagers, though. Still, they’re not legacies or anyone remotely important. They’re not really going to be missed. Just like me, I suppose.”

“I’ll get you charcoal. Should be easy enough, I think,” he said, mentally taking a note of all that she said. It was really interesting how charcoal fuelled her magic. It was odd how demons all that their different ways of functioning.

The stores might know Shirley, but in no way did they know Polynices. That was probably the only benefit of being born without a destiny – no one knew you and no one questioned you. Still, it was painfully obvious that he was a demon. The demon aura around him told so much, as did two protruding horns from his forehead (which were still growing – slowly but painfully).

He needed someone trustworthy to go under the guise of. And who else would be better than the dude he shook hands with? Avian Juniper, the next Marlinchen, the guy practically too saintly for his own good. No one would question Avian Juniper. Sure, the guy did reckless things (like shaking hands with a demon), but he was always good at heart and tried to fix any problems he caused. Buying charcoal as Avian was simply logical.

“I need to get my vessel,” Polynices said, grinning. “And you’ll get your charcoal.”

((Sorry for the delay! Hope this suffices.))
