Alecto, unfortunately, tended to have a wandering mind. It was only at Megaera’s or Tisiphone’s mercy that she could actually get anything done in a timely manner. Her eyes were beginning to turn cross-eyed as she leaned over a set of problems clumsily held in her large hands. The ghoul’s dominant hand somehow held onto a pencil that scribbled down answers that Meg sometimes deigned to answer while Tisiphone cackled and tried to fill in the rest. Key word being ‘tried.’
She tried turning to her right to get to the hallway that led to her dorm, but instead she smacked into a door. Alecto yelped, her things fluttering to the ground. Frantically, the demon bent down to hastily pick up her things, but then as she stepped backwards, she accidentally pushed open a door. “Eh?” She stood up, twirled around confusedly a couple times, then settled on the open dorm in front of her.
…oh. OvO
Too curious and too easily distracted for her own good, she chose to step inside.
Only to realize it was freezing. >A
She figured it would be a smart idea to use her natural ability and conjure some flames.
…uh, well…

Aleria was accustomed to living in a communal habitat. Bedrooms and kitchens and libraries shared by the group; their rearing litter had been seventeen strong, all raised at the same time, only three or four years apart.
Having so many 'siblings' (not the best word, since they were only related to half of them, but it was the closest approximation they could think of) meant that the demon was completely used to having no personal space, and even less privacy. They had slept in a room with a half dozen others, what was the point of locking the door? After all, any possession of theirs was to be shared with the group.
Well, some habits died hard. They were returning from the library, halfway down the hall back to their dorm. A singular novel was clasped in one clawed hand, and they were humming the soft refrains of Ichaivosky--
Wait.
The demon sniffed the air, just once. It was enough to tell. Fire. They took off towards their room, hoping that it wasn't what they feared-- but it was.
"The kodama!" Aleria yelped, one hand coming up to cover their mouth as they watched a minipet burst into flame. ...Huh. They bubbled a lot like marshmallows did in a microwave.
"What, precisely, are you doing melting them?" Aleria demanded off the stranger, jabbing a clawed finger at her chest. "Those things require subzero temperatures!"

As wrong as she knew that burning a stranger’s belongings was, Alecto just couldn’t stop herself from staring at the flames with a look of utter fascination plastered on her face. Sometimes she would conjure flames just to stare at, too. They would bob in midair, but this? This was quite different. Something was burning! In fact, wasn’t it a minipet…? Ears pressed to her head, she continued to watch on. A part of her wanted to put out the flames, but the other part of her just couldn’t stop staring. Maybe the pyromaniac in her had been awakened at last?
A voice behind her caused the dog to press her ears even further against her skull. “Uuuuh,” she started fantastically, smiling sheepishly as she faced the other demon. “I…didn’t meanmean to?” Alecto offered. “It was coldcold so I wanted to warm up butbut…Ha.” She shrugged and kept smiling her sheepish smile. Realizing that the kodama was still burning, she waved her arm and the flames crackling inside the room sizzled out. But now she was cold again.
She shivered, forked tail curling around her legs.astrabot FIFTY...YEARS...LATER.....

Apparently, Kodamas whistled shrilly as they died. It sounded as though a tiny bottle rocket had gone off in the demon's room.
Rushing to the flames, Aleria removed their coat, batting at the fire with the heavy cloth. When it abruptly went out, the demon slowly turned to stare at the stranger. With eyes that were black from lid to lid.
"Of course it's cold," they huffed, straightening up to their full height of seven and some feet tall, peering down at the fire-fuelled little monster that had wandered into their room. "I am a demon of the frost variety. Did you expect otherwise? Did you wander in and deem my room an appropriate place for your flame fetishism?"
With a long suffering sigh, Aleria lifted the heavy coat off of the branch it had been resting on, shaking it off. It had a fur trim, and was made of a material meant to insulate-- both cold and heat. "Here," they said, draping the too-long garment over the ghoul's shoulders.
"I shan't suppose you desire to be a frozen statuette for my room, so I suppose I should keep you warm before I run you out. What is your name?"

Shrill whistles did not mix well with sensitive ears, like canine ears. Alecto continuously scrunched her face together with each kodama death. After a certain point, she began to plug her ears with her hands until the dying had finished.
The pure black eyes startled her at first, enough to make her shrink back with flattened ears. “S-Sorry…” she muttered meekly with arms around herself. She winced slightly at the scathing rant ringing inside her head, courtesy of Megaera. Tisiphone’s howling laughter didn’t help much either. “I didn’t knowknow it was your roomroom.” Her tail curled inwards, hanging between her legs. Briefly, the shamed expression was replaced by vehement annoyance. “It’s not a fetishism; get your facts straight,” hissed Megaera.
Ears lifted as glowing eyes eyed the coat. “Hm?” She looked down at herself when the other demon draped it across her shoulders. Clawed hands tentatively gripped the sides, and she hummed happily when she touched the fur. Instinctively, Alecto pulled the coat tighter, burying herself inside its warmth. “Warm…”
“Ah! Um. I amam Alecto! Thank you for thethe coat.” She nodded her head. “And youyou? Your name?”
