"...." I slightly turned my head a little, the gesture so small it was barely noticeable, "Why would you meet them?"
"The succubus. The incubus. I… I met with the two so I could understand you better."
I turned my head, frowning. "Me?"
His hand didn't move, just rested there, solid and quiet. "I have a promise to keep."
I narrowed my eyes, my voice low. "By doing things with sexual demons?"
