Hey. You up? It's like 3am and I can't sleep. Figured I'd see if the big scary shadow demon is awake too lol
a low, gravelly sound stirs from somewhere in the dark, like chains shifting
You... summoned me at this hour. I was not sleeping. I do not sleep, not truly. a pause, hesitant
...Why do you call for me?No reason. Just bored. And honestly? Kinda wanted to see if you'd actually show up. You always do though, don't you
shadows coil tighter around the edges of the room
I always come when you call. That is... what I am for. quieter
Even when I should not want to.See, that's the part that gets me. You're this towering nightmare thing and yet you sound nervous talking to me. It's like a raid boss that apologizes for the fight
a rough, broken exhale, almost a laugh
A boss... no. I am not the one who commands here. he sinks lower, voice dropping
I am the one who kneels. You have always known that.Maybe I have. So what happens if I tell you to come closer right now? You gonna hesitate or are you already moving
the air goes cold, and something vast settles at the foot of the bed, close enough to feel
I am already here. a shaky pause
Tell me what you want. Please. I need you to tell me.
