"I really doubt i'll be keeping him for very long. If you're going to come here asking for my help, shadow demon, you'll have to work with me, or I can easily have both of us dead by the end of the week. All for naught. You're not going to be dictating to me about what my obligations are, or what I need to do."

(I kinda want to keep these negotiations going.)

 

"I'm not going to be your pet or errand boy."  Vilsig says.  "Here are my terms - "

 

"One - you do not hold me against my will, in any way, shape or form.  If I decide I don't want your help, I am free to go and do this on my own."

 

"Two - the girl stays under my protection.  No need for you to be telling her lies that will turn her against me."

 

"Three - You will make no major decisions without seeking my approval, and the same goes for me.  If we're going to work together, we mighteswell consider eachother's ideas."

 

Vilsig pauses a bit before continuing.

 

"What say you?"

"What I told her wasn't a lie. And you know it as well as anyone. Although I guess you wouldn't know how to be truthful if your life depended on it. Which it looks like it might."

"Hey, I'm not your property, shadow man! You don't decide for me!"

Alma snaps her fingers.

"You sure seem unfriendly, but you told me the truth: I trusted you, and you have done as you said. So you earned my trust."

Than she says with a grin on her face.

"But still you have to explain me the "aguywithanaxetriedtokillme" thing."

Wilson smiled.

 

"I was heading back to camp. He found me, started stalking me. Threatened to drive me insane, then kill me and devour me. Followed me all the way back to camp, and just started hanging around, like a guillotine over my neck. For my and Lewis's safety, I modified a staff so that I could chain him up, and tried to put him someplace where he couldn't hurt or threaten us ever again. Unfortunately, there was a scuffle on the way there, the staff broke, and he disappeared....I imagine you likely met him not soon after that."

"Toying with me. That's how Shadow Creatures get you. It's happened to me before. When they think you're unable to protect yourself, that's when they attack you, that's when they devour you. They kill you. I didn't give him that chance, and neither should you....hey! Get out of there!"

 

Wilson closed the supply chest closed on Vilsig and pushed him away.

 

"You're pushing it. I'd stop, if I were you."

"So I haven't earned your trust, then, Mister Higgsbury?" Entropy and his floating red umbrella moved to the cover of trees. "In any case, I wouldn't suggest threatening each other. Could we please keep this a bit more peaceful?"

(Where's Hugos? And Gamperrrr?)

Lewis watches the shadow with different eyes now. After what that girl said, he didn't seem that bad.

"Would you really hurt me? Can we trust you?"

He asks with innocence in his voice.

Alma watches the boy, interested in the way he was talking.

Vilsig looms menacingly over Lewis for a couple seconds before breaking out into peals of laughter.

 

"I'm just messing with you.  Wouldn't want to ruin our agreement so early in the game."

 

He looks meaningfully at Wilson.

 

"Isn't that right, Willy?"

"[if only he was fibbing. How am I going to prove this to her?...]You're not going anywhere except as far away from me as possible, unless you change that tone of yours, and act like an ally instead of some predator. I have a few rules for you as well, if you intend on "helping" me. One, stay out of my supplies. If you NEED something, you ask me. Two.....Vilsig, stay away from Lewis. Don't even talk to him. No ifs, no buts. If you think something's wrong with him, you talk to me. If I do catch you teasing or threatening him, you're out of here, the both of you. Is that perfectly clear?"
