[Alastor closes his eyes and shakes his head.]

No, I'm not. [He pauses.] Well, I suppose given we both had murder as a hobby and neither of us was ever caught, you could call me that, but I'm not too fond of the comparison. "Saucy Jack" killed prostitutes and liked to brag about what he did. I only started showing off when I reached Hell and there was no court system to worry about. Why hide your misdeeds if you're already burning in Hell?

If nothing else, it made my message easier to understand when I didn't have to be subtle anymore.

[Alastor then looks at her, seeing that she's put distance between them. Ah, there it is: the fear. Just like back in Hell when even those with nothing to fear from him fled his presence.]

[The people he's told so far haven't said anything, but...how much longer until it was all over town? He'd never hid the fact that he was a demon straight from Hell, but once they knew the bulk of the reason for his eternal damnation? Well, likely he'd be seeing the streets clear out every time he stepped outside.]

[Sooner or later, this would stop being his "weekend pass". Perhaps he should start hunting for real estate farther away from town while he still had time to get it properly settled.]
