Perhaps somewhat awkwardly, Akkau's "assistant" was, in fact, a demon waiting to lead Cale to his new room. This was mostly only awkward because Cale had failed to notice the demon in question until after he'd taken credit for blowing up an entire infernal realm, at which point he'd turned around to see a demon staring at him.
At least the demon in question was pretty to look at. His skin was a deep, burgundy red, and the suit he wore accentuated his wiry frame quite nicely. Cale attempted a bright smile.
"So!" Cale said. "What's your name?"
"Jaxovar," the demon said flatly.
"I'm gonna call you Jax," Cale said, making him twitch. "Which realm are you from?"
"The sixth."
Great! Not the one he'd blown up. That was a good thing, probably. "What's got you working here in a magic academy, of all places? I would've thought you'd be out, I don't know, making deals for souls or something."
[Blabbermouth] has reached level 4!
