As Ig carried the man along they got some odd looks and it took a moment to remind herself that it was because they were carrying an unconscious man around and not because they could see Ig's true form. She wasn't sure what he looked like to other people, these days it took more work to see the disguise than it did to see what was underneath. She ran a fingers through her firey tangled mess of hair and watched him set the guy down with a polite thank you and a fare-the-well with some prudent parting advice. She suppressed a grin... She hadn't considered the idea that she might get around to liking a demon and her guard wavered slightly before she reminded herself that he WAS a demon and therefore had a little more proving to do before she decided to trust him... as much as one could trust a demon or an angel.

As Ig's voice popped up in her mind, and she could hear him in her ears as well... which was odd but... at least he was trying to keep things normal, she scratched the back of her neck. How do you explain what you didn't quite understand yourself?

"I can tell you what I remember, which... admittedly isn't much."

She considered where to start and then shrugged as they walked onwards. "Well, when I was small I was diagnosed with leukemia... Around five years old I started seeing things... things other people didn't see. I didn't know then that it was because I was close to death. Anyway, I was at the mall with my parents, they were big on trying to give me a normal life... I wandered off while they were in line."

She shook her head, "Next thing I know, I ran into a man... He was dressed funny, in robes and a cowl. I wasn't afraid of him, just curious. I asked him why he was dressed that way and he seemed surprised that I could see him at all. The next thing I knew, I was waking up back in the hospital and they were running more tests. A month later the results came back and I was clean... completely cured."

She pointed to the Pizza Hut and walked inside, the smell of herbs and garlic assailed her nose and she realized how hungry she really was. She ordered a large pepperoni since what she didn't eat she'd be taking home with her, and then guided Ig to a table to set down and wait.

"The next time I saw him I was older... My parents had died in a car accident and I'd been living with my grandmother who was sick. I was on my way home from school and I heard something in an ally. Curiosity has always been my downfall, I went to go check it out. Some guy was assaulting a woman in the shadows... He'd already ruined her clothes and I yelled at him to draw his attention away from her. I had pepper spray and I thought I could outrun him... but when he turned around and I saw his face I froze up."

She shrugged, "It was the first time I'd seen a demon... Well, it was the first time I'd seen past the disguise. I'd felt them before, like a chill at the back of my neck but... If it hadn't been for the Hunters that Ruben sent I don't know what would have happened, I try not to think about it. Ruben had been watching me the whole time since that day in the mall and he told me I wasn't safe anymore... If I could see 'them' then they could see me. So, I went with him. He trained me, raised me, and now here we are."

The pizza was done and delivered to their table and Shae took a slice, winced at the heat on her fingers, and dropped it onto her plate then did the same for Ig. "I know your body can't taste it but having it on the plate will at least help you blend in."
