"Can i trust her, Cass?  She tried to attack me without any provocation, so I can't say I exactly trust her.  And is there anything she isn't telling me about my potential mistress?   I need to know now before I tell Chompy to let her go."<br/><br/>Azric had complex motives for wanting to stay in hell.  The truth was- now that he was here he wanted to learn from the experience, and it was clear that one way or another his time with Cass was coming to an end.  Tess- on the other hand- hadn't asked for any of this.  And while she may have enjoyed the experiences they had, the truth was it was only due to Cass's influence.  She needed to be able to return to her normal life, as it was likely Azric wouldn't be returning to earth with her.<br/><br/>Also Azric had now tasted the kind of decadence a demon could provide.  It somehow suited him.  He knew there would be limitless pleasures here to sample if he proceeded with caution.  His soul was much like any currency.  It could be traded here for things unimaginable on earth.  And if he was careful, perhaps he could return one day with his soul intact and knowledge the university would never dare to teach him.  It was a chance he had to take.
