"You… you… you ate Tash!" Jadis declared, pointing a
shaking finger at Akaya. Or, possibly, at the cloud of smoke in front of
him that had, until very recently, been one of Jadis’ inferior demons.

"Yeah?" Akaya raised his brows and flexed his fingers. "And?"

Belial laughed. This was the most fun se had had in centuries, and learning
that Akaya had managed to absorb the demon who tried to possess him was the
icing on the cake. "Indeed. And one suspects that he’ll do something
even worse to you if you don’t make yourself scarce and stop trying to assert
spurious claims of loyalty. After all," se smiled, wickedly, "he
isn’t a tame human."

Akaya gave hir a pleased look as Jadis scuttled off. "This is fun."

Belial tucked a hand around his arm as they strolled on. "Isn’t it?"
