                  Slow long strides he had taken towards the familiar demon— No, a past version of said demon. Cloth floating behind him with remains of ashes and the faintest of smoke, edges with the so mocked fur of his coat. Tail swishing from side to side, a faint flame follows each of its movements. Sparks flying with each step, till he came to a stop right before her.

                                    Boy, was she annoying.

                  "If by that ye mean th’one ye mocked earlier without thinkin’, yeah, that’s me. Ya sure are braver than I remember, cockroach. Last time I saw ya, ye were with yer tail ‘tween yer legs, runnin’ off t’yer big brother. Ye sure ya in th’right position t’let yer mouth loose?“

                  A click of the tongue. “Wanna end up like yer daddy?”

          &&. though it is abject fear that runs cold down her back, she
             does not run. short, sharp, intake of breath is taken in  expression  of 
             anger and whereas she does not step forward to confront him  as  he
             strides forth to meet her, her brow  creases  into  a  scowl  and  petite
             hands are quickly balled into tight fists, bone-like  nails  digging  into
             layers of ruby scales underneath. 

          she breathes in and all she smells is smoke, thick and acrid and burning
             down the back of her throat. it fills her, fills the fear, and so she manages
             to hold her ground when  he  meets  her.  parasol  clutched  tight  in  one
             clawed hand, she raises a  long-nailed  finger  to  her  lips  in  a  show  of
             thoughtfulness, bright eyes losing their shock and slowly blinking open.

                              you should wear something  that  doesn’t  make
                                                you look soooo ddumb.
 

          she doesn’t understand his next statement, but it is amusement that
             flows from serpentine tongue, and almost reflexively she snarls, taking
             another step back.

                                 what’re you ttalking about ?
                                        should call daddy for this. go away.
