"Does it really bother you that much? Sometimes change can be a good thing, you know." Mihoko fidgeted slightly. She frowned when the fire demon sighed and finally sat down. She had never seen him behave that way before. She bit her lower lip, wondering what to do. She hesitantly wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a gentle hug. Physical contact with a woman was probably something that he didn't want, but she wanted to do almost anything to make him feel better. She brushed her cheek up against his shoulder.
"I like you the way you are now." She smiled at him, still embracing him. She finally let him go and scooted away from him. After her actions, she felt like he needed his space. Mihoko hoped that she didn't traumatize him.

The fire devil shook his head once more. "What bothers me is that I want to return to my old ways, to be the tyrant I once was. I... I crave power, lust after it even." He sighed heavily. "I feel so confused!" He whined and buried his head in his hands. His wings folded over him and he looked like a turtle hiding in its shell.

She tried her best to picture herself in his situation, but it wasn't working out like she wanted. His sudden whine startled her. He buried her head in his hands and she tried to say something. Mihoko raised her finger to speak, but he folded his wings over himself. She blinked and turned her head away, looking out to view the surrounding area. She felt like her little embrace made the situation worse. The demon laid her forehead on her knees and pondered. What else could she possibly say?
"We both have goals. You want power and I want to become stronger than I am now," she started to say, her eyes shut tight. She was picking out her words carefully. Maybe she could say something positive that would bring him out of his moping? She was determined to cheer him up. The redhead continued on, "I can't really tell you what you can and can't do. I can just say do whatever you feel is right." She opened her eyes and raised her head. She scooted toward him again.
"This may not interest you, but my goal is to become a prince. Forget that princess crap. A prince is strong, charming, and protective. I'm tired of having people come to my rescue." He already gave her the reason why he wanted power. Now she wanted to know why he was so confused about what to do. "Are you confused because you've interacted with them for too long? If that's the case, taking a break from this place may do you some good."

The fire devil hated using people, but the cat demon was playing in on his trickery. He was not confused, he knew what he wanted and why he wanted it. He also knew how to get it,but for now he wanted as many allies as possible.
Blaze sighed and unfolded his wings and folded them behind his back as he stood up. "I think taking a break would do me some good..."

She listened to him and smiled happily. At least he wasn't moping anymore. "That's the spirit! It'll be like taking a vacation, right? You'll be all better once you get back." Mihoko continued to smile and turned her gaze away. She was going to be supportive of the fire demon's decision. She just hoped that he wouldn't go attacking humans just for the fun of it when he returned. A little jumping spider caught her attention and held out her hand. It hopped into her palm and she examined it. She watched its awkward movements and giggled.
"I bet you'll start off being all cute and awkward just like this little spider, but everything with fall into place. Tell me all about your experience when you return. ....In the meantime, don't go causing any trouble. I support you, but don't go hurting anyone." There was a hint of seriousness in her tone. Mihoko didn't want to imagine fighting Blaze. She cupped her hand and laid it against the ground. The spider leaped out of her hand and she tapped her foot lightly. She wondered if she did a good enough job at giving him advice that he probably didn't need. The she-cat was so naive that she didn't even consider the fact that he was manipulating her. "Maybe if I was brave enough, I'd go with you..."

"Mihoko, I'm scared to go alone. The demon world is such a nasty place, and quite unforgiving." He pleaded to the cat demoness. Of course, he would protect her like she had protected him several weeks ago. He wasn't heartless and ruthless like he had been a long time ago. "Perhaps you can find some other demons to go with me? I know Dante will not, so don't bother asking him."

"You shouldn't be afraid because you aren't going alone. There are other people going with you," she said with a sincere smile. If the demon world was so cruel and merciless as the fire demon described, she definitely wasn't going to go there. It was a shame that she was too frightened to even visit the world where she came from. Her ears wiggled when Blaze mentioned the red devil. She tried her best to hold back a giggle, but failed. She pressed her knuckles against her lips and looked at him before speaking.
"....Dante. I'd never ask him such a thing. Besides, he'd scold me if I went along. The demon realm is no place for a youngling who can't even defend herself properly. I can actually imagine him giving me a good lecture right now. I'm sorry, Blaze. No is my final answer...."

"Afraid or not, it would still be wise to be cautious. The demon world is nothing like the human realm." Blaze spoke softly as he stood, folding his wings to his back as he turned to leave. "Care to join me in getting something to eat?" The fire devil inquired as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, awaiting an answer from the cat demoness.

She watched as he stood to his feet. He folded his wings and she realized that he was getting ready to depart. Blaze asked if she wanted something to eat and she nodded her head quickly. She wasn't in the mood for an actual meal. The cat demon was craving for something sweet. He shoved his hands into his pockets and she followed behind him. "Pudding....," she said softly. Her tail swayed from side to side as she stood behind him.
"I can pay for my own pudding, though. I want chocolate pudding with whipped cream and teeny cherry on top. I really like pudding." Blaze could probably already tell how much the girl was into the dessert since she kept referring to it. Mihoko liked her sweets, but the one that she mentioned was her absolute favorite. The redhead noticed that Emily hadn't said anything in awhile and wondered if she was okay. At least she wasn't nagging her about anything, though she was surprised that she didn't intervene when she decided what she wanted to eat.

The fire devil smirked as he knew just the place to satisfy both of their sweet tooth cravings. He walked for quite a while before he spoke up. "Do you like the cake known as Devil's Food cake?" He liked it himself as he was a chocolate lover. He especially liked the cake when it had extra chocolate sauce drizzled on top.Just thinking of it had his mouth watering, but sadly he did not have enough cash on him to buy a slice, so he would have to go with something smaller. Perhaps an ice cream cone with hot fudge.

"Huh, I've never had it. Is it similar to chocolate lava cake?" She asked, quickly walking beside him. She opened her messenger bag and reached inside. She was going to count how much money she had on her. She was just thankful that pudding wasn't very expensive. She counted up ten dollars that were all in singles. Mihoko put her money in her pocket and took Emily out. She wondered if the dessert he mentioned was his favorite.
"What are you going to get? Will you get the cake that you were talking about? Hmm, are places still opened up at this time?" She kept going on and on with her questions, but she wasn't expecting the fire demon to answer every single one. Most of them were rhetorical. The dark skinned demon pat the doll gently on the head and nuzzled her softly. A small purr escaped from her lips as she continued to follow the demon like a lost kitten.

"Almost, but it has chocolate chips in it and it doesn't ooze cocoa." The fire devil replied cheerfully as he licked his lips, wanting the dessert but not able to afford it. "Oh I wish I could, but I'm low on cash right now. Gotta go back to doing the odd jobs here and there.and.. now that I think of it, all the places that serve our desserts are closed right now!" The fire devil sighed, disappointed. He then perked back up as he remembered something. "Wait, I think I have food at my house. Want to stay over for dessert? I think I have some pudding mix lying around somewhere..."

Her ears drooped and she frowned. She was a little disappointed, but at least she was able to save her money. She smiled and nodded, cheering up again. "Okay, and then we can both share it." Mihoko squished the doll and she heard Emily squeak. It was good to hear her make some sort of sound. The cat girl was beginning to think that she went mute or worse, the spirit within the doll crossed over. She hoped that that day would never come.
"Emily, you're mean. I thought you went back to being a lifeless hand knit doll. You scared me, you know," she glared at the doll and turned her around so that she was facing her. The cat girl let out a sigh and hugged her affectionately. "maybe you've been so quiet lately because I've been meeting so many new friends? Don't get jealous, ever. I wouldn't want you becoming a vengeful spirit..."

Blaze smiled back at Mihoko and the doll Emily. "Don't worry, I know how to cook, I won't burn the house down or anything. Honest!" He joked with a smirk. Blaze walked at a faster pace, wanting to get home to make the pudding and other desserts.
After a while of walking he sighed and stared at the ground. He really needed to save up some cash so he could move further into the city. Being on the outskirts was rough.

"Hmm, it would be really bad if your home did burn down. I'd feel bad because it would be my fault. ...I'm the one who would do anything to have pudding..." She sighed to herself. Emily glared at the cat girl and slapped her hand lightly. It wasn't a good idea for her to be going around and admitting something like that. The doll somewhat trusted the fire demon, but what if he tried to bribe Mihoko with pudding to get her to go to the demon realm? Blaze started walking faster and the redhead quickened her pace. She didn't want to get separated from him.
