no going back now

He seemed to question her skills in hunting, quietly that is. Before he could ask, he admitted instead she didn't need to help. Perhaps he was worried she'd try to slip away while distracted, but that didn't seem to be the case. He deposited the pack of supplies instead. Eden approached cautiously, sniffing through them when she bent her head. The demon is afraid of the dark her mind uttered to her or he wants to keep you in his sights.

She chose the latter. He didn't seem the type to be scared of the dark. "I know how..." Eden murmured softly, pawing the supplies to her bosom. It occurred to her not for the first time that Ignis had taken her on a spur of the moment. Did he regret his decision? He seemed to revert back to a different being now, the same 'kind' one she had conversed with before the claim. He didn't treat her as a captive now.

It was baffling to her. Maybe he was scared of the dark in this personality? "I'll wait here." If she could gain his trust, slipping away wouldn't be so hard in the near future.
