With every step the demoness took, the snow beneath her looked to melt swiftly under her. It was a fast process, leaving clear spots to see exactly where she has been walking. A long stretch of this was directly behind her.

Despite this, the girl seemed to having clear problems with this. Every step she took came with enraged grunts and growls.

" Grrrh ... aah-rrrh ... MRH ! "

With her hands buried into the front pockets of her sweater, the demon stared at the stranger in front of her. The look on her face was sharp... and almost angry.

" Am I in your way ? "

She asked, tilting her head. In her own mind, she wasn't aware of how much of a glare she was giving. She still had much to learn when it came to decency.

The demoness was already on guard. She could sense this was a being of immense power and, while she had plenty of her own, this was something... more.

With careful steps, she edged herself backwards, crimson eyes flaring up in a protective manner for her own well being.

" Who ... are you ? "

" Thank you. "

Simple words spoken on her part, but they seemed grueling to say for someone like her. It wasn't often that she expressed gratitude... but she felt that it was right to say. If she was going to act human, this was the best way to do so.

But still, it was... unfamiliar. Wrong. But it was performance anxiety on her part. As if she was worried she was doing it wrong.

" You know, for helping me find my money before. Thanks ... "

Red eyes darted from his own and down again, attempting to hide her gaze behind the cover of her hood.

Out by the market, Scarlet was doing her best to work up enough courage to go buy something to eat. More for the social interaction more than anything... but it was taking a toll on her. Not at all easy to just go up and do.

Someone took her attention. A woman dressed in... a maid outfit? All the way out here?

That might've been the first thing that she noticed, but being a demon, she could sense... this was no ordinary human. Much like herself, there were far greater powers that hid underneath her surface.

For now, she held a sideways glance towards this stranger, watching as she seemed to... do rather well in interacting with humans.

Scarlet had lately made honest efforts to understand humans better. To integrate with them, or at the very least, pass as one of them.

One choice made was to visit a band that was playing that night. The concert, while a unfamiliar display to say the least, was rather enjoyable. Though, while the rest of the crowd were enjoying the music and cheering on, she had stood silently in a corner.

Afterwards, and some time later into the evening, she came across one of the members. As a way to challenge herself in social interactions, walked up to him.

" Hey, ah- ... I was at your concert today. I thought it was good. "

Simple words, but all to sound convincing on her part.

Scarlet stood on top of a park bench, right where one would usually rest their back, her gaze fixed on her phone. The park bustled with life around her, but she remained a solitary figure, wrapped in the obsidian embrace of her hoodie. The soft rustling of leaves and distant laughter were distant echoes to her ears.

If her gaze was caught, one might see the intensity in her crimson eyes, a flame that seemed to flicker with uneasy emotions. Scarlet's aura hinted at a world of mystery and pain, yet she exuded an eerie sense of calm.

She didn't seem to notice anyone's presence, lost in her thoughts and the vast, yet empty world that reflected in her phone.
