Should she not be rewarded for playing nice?</em> However just then, something <em>else</em> happened, something almost as delightful as escaping her cell. The doctor named Mallory tripped - <em>oh</em>, but not quite, which was so <em>unfortunate</em>. Kyless did not intend for the human to fall on her round, soft face but she would have enjoyed observing it, all the same. <em>Jingle, jingle.</em> The curious doctor Lary was <em>shrieking</em> that her and her shadow servant named Kevin did <em>not</em> sleep together. <em>Jingle.</em> As if the question Kyless had asked her was foul. <em>Jingle.</em> What the other human named Kevin said next made even less sense. <em>If they did not sleep together, then they were not protected.</em> Humans who slept alone were easy prey. <em>Jingle, jingle.</em> But the human named Kevin was red now, his cheeks brighter than the glowing blues and purples of the giant mushroom garden around them all. The curious doctor wanted to do work, avoid Kyless' question. Her humdrum shadow servant just appeared embarrassed. <em>Jingle.</em> But 'sleeping' was not shameful, at least not for them, <em>these</em> silly humans...<br/><br/>And so then it must have been the ‘together’ part that was shameful. <em>'Together' made them so... flustered, and red, and avoiding.</em> Hands once together, now apart, displaying separation but… <em>wanting</em> something different, wanting ‘together’ but ashamed to say. <em>Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle.</em> “Adjacent,” the tall, blue-grey demon repeated, with a smile on her dark blue lips that curled at the ends as she stepped out of thin air and finally into view of <em>everyone</em> who was watching her. In front of the pair of embarrassed humans and visible now, reaching with small leaps across her illusionary, giant and glowing mushroom garden, past the glass door and beyond it so, where the other wild things were. “Ad-ja-cent,” Kyless said again, letting the pieces of her new word swirl around in her blue-grey cheeks like sweet candy. “Adjacent,” her bells jingled and jingled again as she moved to the center of her cage with ease, among the garden’s brilliant growths.<br/><br/>“What does it mean, human Kevin?” Her mattress suddenly appeared beneath her bare, blue-grey toes. On its top, her two, small, precious pillows. Though she was standing on it, the bumpy, white mattress, the many mushrooms, the garden and the cave still existed all around them. Kyless was letting <em>these</em> humans see what she wanted them to see. Her lowly mattress, and her precious pillows, but nothing else that was true. Kyless was obeying the curious doctor’s request, and revealing herself, but only so far. Because she was <em>not</em> out. She could not come out. <em>These</em> humans, of the pale goblin children, they would not let her.<br/><br/>She bounced on her mattress, leaping in the air, <em>once</em>, <em>twice</em>, before landing and sitting, crossed legged and waiting for her examination. <em>Her daytime examination.</em> Doctor Lary had said it was the start of her work day, and so today, <em>this</em> day, was also daytime. The lights that never turned off in her cage were always the same now. That made Kyless wonder just how many daytimes she had missed. “I think I will have a short day, this day, human Mallory.” As if the trickster had a choice. The other doctor, the one who acted like a gargoyle, was terrible at giving Kyless choices of her own. She hoped, but highly doubted, he would start now.</span>
