Whisker returned from the orphanage as Arthur took the man outside, wanting to flee the scene before Vesper realized something was wrong. The feline was confused, and Arthur found his expression strange.
"Have they been hurt?"
"Not even a hair of them," said Whisker with confusion. "The demon gave them the water and healed them and then left. I witnessed the sight, and I might never get over it."
"Is that so unexpected?" asked Arthur as he looked around the street before entering an alley. Whisker followed after them with the same dazed expression. "Are demons vile by nature?"
"I met just one other, and it was the most terrifying creature I have ever met," said Whisker with a shake of his head. "I heard stories as I grew about demons and what they would do to us if given the chance. Is that different?"
"Demons are symbols of evil in my world, but their existence is mostly fictional. No one has ever seen a demon, nor does anyone believe they exist in real life."
