Meira's gaze switched to Devin when he spoke, wariness flitting through her eyes. Anani continued to purr, making her wonder how the cat felt so comfortable around the little creature if it was some kind of demon. She'd always thought him a smart cat, he had brought her to the nice man, and the nice man gave her no reason to be concerned about him. But his pet...did people keep demons as pets?

Demons feed off energy, she replied slowly, Off of blood and life force. My dad... she trailed off. Surely the little creature was harmless, aside from eating magical energy. Mr. Parker wouldn't keep something dangerous so close. He wouldn't let anything dangerous hurt her either. That last thought caused her to tip her head in confusion. How did she know that?

She stood up, shaking herself from head to tail. But Anani thinks she's ok, so she can't be a demon.
