[ She uses the word "we" and Peter's stunned by it, because there are people like Luna and Louis and now Ruby offering to help him through all of this, and it still.... tugs at him. ]

I appreciate it, but you.... you don't have to help me. This thing's like.... it has to do with spells and rituals and shit like that. I don't want you to get mixed up in something bad.

[ Whatever Paimon truly is, he's something very ancient and very powerful, and neither Peter nor Luna really know the extent of him just yet. Dark magic and demonology.... those kinds of things are terrifying. Something could easily go wrong. ]

That thing sounds... manipulative. [ Which is a word he's heard others use about demons, before. Peter can't be sure that Paimon isn't just manipulating him, either. And Luna, and everyone he cares about. ]

I don't know what it wants. It gets... violent sometimes, but.... it doesn't usually attack other people as much as it attacked you. [ A shudder passes through him. Why Ruby...? ]

Did it... say anything to you?
