Sounds like a plan. Thank you very much for writing with me. I gotta get to bed now. ^~^
In contrast to her malice, Pahkakino's grin was kind, "We come from different planes, different clusters of planes entirely, it would seem. If I spend the rest of my new life fighting back the selfish instinct to dominate over others, as all demons of Abyss have, so be it. It is a new life I look forward to." His voice was calm and solid with a confidence that was tempered by gentleness. He knew what he would, and would not do, despite his demonic nature.
He touched her mind briefly, seeing if there was any thing he could do or say that might do something for Devaena. Truly he pitied those demons, and her kind too it seemed, that they could find no other purpose than to fight. Like his clan, who thought only of his betrayal, it seemed this lady could not understand that he had found his purpose already.
'She is like the others. I will not waste my time, or hers.' he thought, a touch saddened by the revelation.
Curling the ends of his tail around one ankle, Pahkakino bowed his head again politely, "It seems we will be able to debate our perspectives until this world dies away. I will not waste your time with such nonsense." He looked her in the eye, "I wish you success in your new life. If you can get home, I hope your purpose is as great as you believe it to be. Enjoy the night Lady." With that, the red demon turned and walked away, keeping his mind open to any thought of attack. True, he'd been polite, but that didn't mean much when two creatures disagreed on the very nature of a race.

((Any time! I had a lot of fun, and who knows...they might meet up again later on under different circumstances ^_^))
His touch was brief on her mind before she sensed it and raised her mental defenses, her eyes narrowing dangerously. How dare he! She briefly considered striking him down (for she fully believed she could), but a thought paused her. What he might have glimpsed on the surface of her meticulous thoughts was the very proof of all she had been trying to say. Devaena did not believe her purpose was to fight or to dominate, her purpose was nothing less than furthering evil in whatever manner and method she could do so. She was practically fanatical about it in that respect, and she was willing to do whatever it took to champion her cause.
So it seemed they had indeed come to an impasse, but as Pahkakino walked away after saying his goodbyes, Devaena allowed the smile to come back to her face. "We may be from different planes, you and I, but across the stars some truths will always hold true. Until our paths cross again then," she said and waited until he was out of view before turning to walk the other way.
