Hmm, still haven't earned your trust? How about I drink some to prove to you that it isn't poisoned.

*she tosses in some of her own hell and takes a drink of the lemonade*

See, Totally safe, sour and kinda sweet!

[beryls_lackey]

We would never do such an honor student act like that!

Does that prove it to you? If you want more proof, I will drink it as well.

[hungry_for_justice]

You demons would obviously have already taken the antidote! So your displays mean nothing!

[do_a_beryl_roll]

Oh brother... this one is going to take some work.

Is there anything we can do to convince you that it isn't poison?

[hungry_for_justice]

You probably have thin, invisible lead sheets to stop me from detecting the poison with my magic. And in any case, I haven't prepared that spell today.

[beryls_lackey]

... you know. Not all of us demons are evil and liars...

[hungry_for_justice]

My mother trusted a demon for one night, and she suffered a lifetime of torment! You can't just use honeyed words and please that you are virtuous to convince me that you mean well.

[do_a_beryl_roll]

So just because one demon did you wrong you'll never trust any of them? That doesn't sound very heroic. Aren't heroes supposed to trust people and try to see the good in them?

If you gave us even one chance I'm sure we'd turn your view of us around completely!

[hungry_for_justice]

It was the worst wrong! A terrible betrayal that can never be repaid, and for which my mother has suffered shame and humiliation for over 20 years! What good can there be in such creatures?

[beryls_lackey]

While that demon soundss awful and must not be forgiven, you shouldn't judge all demons by the actions of one.

[hungry_for_justice]

One demon might be forgivable, but the entire race are steeped in evil and depravity. Even you cannot deny that the fundamental nature of your kind is betrayal and corruption, to turn what is good and wholesome into impurity and destruction!

[do_a_beryl_roll]

Yeah, of course that's true it's in their base nature. But we're not like that, we're fighting our destiny as demons and setting a new, love and justice filled path for ourselves!

Even if you don't trust me now, I'll never give up trying to earn that trust from you, and make you believe that we're good people.

[hungry_for_justice]

And I suppose if I give in to madness and depravity, you might just find me a 'trustworthy' blackguard.

[beryls_lackey]

Not at all. We trust you as you are right now. Just like we hope you could trust us how we are right now.

[hungry_for_justice]

S-Stop patronizing me! You're demons! Act like it!
