#amity Gets being wary of zariel. zariel is Absolutely Not a lesser devil.

[cannibalisticskittles]

first of all, amity is determined to make a lasting friend out of helsik. yes, yes, she consorts with devils, but so does amity's dad! it's not always awful. people have certainly done worse things for gold. and at helsik's prices, anyone who pays to be sent to the hells and suffers for it can't say they didn't know what they were walking into, and it's not going to affect the average baldurian.

plus, when asked to retrieve an object from a devil, she asked for something that would make her shopkeeping run more smoothly -- a woman after amity's own heart. how can she not be drawn to a fellow merchant, and one so practical as that?

the second thing is, amity truly cannot believe how many people take raphael so serious. a cambion?? has such vaulted status?? a cambion who didn't even manage to score a single promotion in more than a thousand years??? you'd think he would have worked his way up to at least a kyton, if not a greater devil like a horned devil, for all his ego. totally unfounded delusions of grandeur for a mere cambion. how strange.
