Eudial was only slightly flattered by the last words of Gaunt. She knew full well this was a demon, as she saw the thing vanish before her very eyes in the freezing room. And she knew the thing would leave her in the lurch in an instant. As it was, she had no inclination to notify him she knew of his true nature.

However... there was something odd about that voice... Eudial couldn't put her finger on it. It didn't seem like the sort of voice that would lead one to betrayal, be they good, evil, neutral or whatnot.

She continued to frown as she gazed up at the sky. Sure enough, as Gaunt had pointed out, a small black thing far, far above, barely visible. It almost, almost looked like her home nebula if you looked from Earth, but it was completely black, not red/purple. Unfortunately it only reminded her of the others in her cohort, especially that annoying, vile - !

Eudial shook her head quickly to squash out any thoughts of Mimete, and replied to Gaunt, "I have no real idea what to do. That thing is clearly not a good omen. Now... you. You are a very cool customer, but plainly you are holding a great deal back. Still, I think I will trust you, at least for the moment, since you do speak the truth. Now, where is this city?" She was eager to get as far away from the Professor as possible - would this be her downfall as much as staying nearby such a threat, though?
