"..."
Sarah's got a companion as she wanders around the base one sunday-a small, bright-eyed boy sitting on her shoulders, who wastes no time in asking about everything.
"Hey, mom, what's that for?" He asks, pointing at a kirby-esque bit of machinery gathering dust in the back of the hangar.
"Neutron Polarizer, it lets you reverse the polarity of the neutron flux." she replies, perfectly deadpan.
"You just made that up!"
"Nope."
Jacob pouts briefly, before pointing over at someone else.
"Hey, mom, who's that? Are they an alien too? Or a demon?"
"...Man, you couldn't have just asked to go to the park, could you..."

Eventually, the appointed time comes, and Sarah and Jacob arrive at the chosen place. Children and their parents are playing in the park, people are walking their dogs, and some college students are playing disc golf. Percival stands some feet away from Sarah, by the side of the road. Seraphina waits in the driver's seat of his car, the engine running.
Sarah motions for Jacob to take his things and go to the car, but he does not move until she gently pushes him on the back. He gets in the car, and soon Seraphina's driving away.
Sarah watches her go, and sighs.
"Man, do we really gotta do this..."

Yeah, she's a demon or something. It's rude to point, honey.
But what if she steals someone's sooooooooul?
She wouldn't do that, you have to get a license and there's a lot of paperwork.

In my case, it's the horns that make me different.

Waaaaa~it's really smooth, and hard...
[He turns around, smiling.]
Hey mom! When I grow up, I wanna date a girl with horns like these!
...That's...a thought...

[Ren seems happy for some reason.]
If you see a person with horns exactly like these, you can be certain it's someone good. Well, almost certain. I give you no guarantee about other kinds of horns, though!
Anyway Jacob, are you having fun?
