"Insulting, especially when un-creative does not help one's case." Her head tilted as he spoke in a British accent. One she had heard before even though it had been years ago. "Accents it appears is something of a specialty with you. I have not heard that one in a long time. As for rather you speaking vulgarly has any bearing at all..." She shrugged and stood up to go place the book back on the shelf where it had came from. "I was merely curious as to if anyone had told you that phrase. Personally, I do not care if you used fuck every other word. Though I imagine that would get a bit tiresome if you did so."<br/><br/>Facing him, she tugged her sleeves down over her hands. A habit of hers. "It is an important question. Especially when you put it in this light: if it only takes one to feed themselves, does that mean they suck every last bit of power from their meal or is it more like we are not dealing with something that powerful? As you say, the demon has grown. Would that not mean they would need more food? Should we start being worried if this thing starts to kill more than once? Which by the way, is more of a rhetorical question as the answer is an obvious yes."<br/><br/>Thinking over his words, she nodded. Low ranking demons usually weren't as smart as high ranking ones. Usually. Some may be clever, especially if they want to become a high ranking demon. But a good rule of thumb is they aren't quite as smart. That and it would explain the one person a night. They couldn't hold as much power so only one sacrifice so to speak would sate them. But it sounded like this one had been fed quite a lot and had grown past that. Or should have grown past that now that Unknown thought about it. The sacrifice of the young was a powerful thing. Innocent blood. Virgin blood. Blood of a life wasted. The more years they had yet to live, the more powerful the magic there. Made sense then that infants would have been the best choice. The perfect choice so to speak. Which brought Unknown back to that nagging question: why only one person a night? Shouldn't the demon had grown by now to have a larger appetite. Or...If Unknown could have paled she probably would as a new theory entered her mind. What if this particular demon had found a way to horde the power gained from these kills? Like a bear bulking up for winter so to speak. Only using enough power to hunt and kill, saving the rest as 'fat' for a later date. She really didn't want to know if that was the case here. It could mean that this Historical Society had taught the demon something that she would rather not have it teach to the rest of its kind and rank.<br/><br/>"We better get started. Split up or go together? If we want to hit everyone on the list, it would probably take all day." She gave him a smile, but not the happy kind. It was more of a smile for show than anything else. "Cause, in case you have not quite notice, being outdoors when the sun goes down is not exactly recommended." She wondered if he would insult her again. Probably. She was mildly hoping he would come up with a more creative one though. Insults that were as common as sand were never any fun to puzzle out a comeback for. Even if she may never say it, it was still interesting to see what she could come up with sometimes.
