Felix draws the life fragment and flicks it. Riotan feels a smack across his face. "Your own words, not mine, smartass. I need to know you understand what I'm saying so we don't have any miscommunication."
Riotan barely flinches. “Fine. I will not injure William, allow harm to come to him, or hold him captive. Is that what you wanted to hear?”
"Promise it. And remember that Rag here can hear you, and he'll be there when I come to pick up William. If you break your promise, we will both be very cross with you."
*Jsyk, if this goes south Rag has already gone into a rage, and has prepared an action to protect Felix for every turn until Felix is safe, he has 45 AC, anyway gtg.*
*How sweet! I may have to go soon too. Church, you know.*
*WHY CAN’T MY SNAKE BOI JUST CHILL AND BE EVIL*
*BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO PERMANENTLY KILL AND MAIM PEOPLE*

Riotan leans to the side to see Ragnerious. "Oh wow, I didn't even notice your friend here. Guess I have bad eyes. But that's irrelevant. I do indeed promise to not injure William, allow William to be injured through personal inaction, or keep William captive. Good enough for you?"

*IN ALL HONESTY he's actually not. If he doesn't consume the tangible pain of mortals regularly, he'll slowly lose the ability to hold any kind of form and be reduced to nothing more than a spectral fog until he can devour more suffering. Originally he was an incredibly weak demon prince who only occupied his own domain because his misty form was completely innavigable so no demons could actually get in. It was only when he devoured the tortured soul of the yuan-ti god Mersshaulk that he became the guy we know today, and the constant misery eating is just to maintain that stolen power and stay alive.*

"Actually, I wanted to ask you something." He says calmly, taking a seat. "Do you know what the phrase 'amour propre' means?"

*Interesting. Anyway, Felix just wants William back and to not be tormented. He doesn't like other people being tormented either, so he's going to be Riotan's enemy anyway. He's going to try to be a friendly nemesis, though. If he really wants to torture people, he can get people to consent first. Felix would probably let Riotan feed off of him if he asked.*

*Riotan is too prideful to have friendly nemeses. And Felix has mortally wounded his ego. If he can, Riotan is gonna do some heinous stuff.

And then kill all the gods and spirits he worships. It'll be fun. Additionally, Riotan can only consume the feeling of suffering if absolutely no gratification arises from it.*

"Actually, I wanted to ask you something." He says calmly, taking a seat. "Do you know what the phrase 'amour propre' means?"
Felix nods. "It means self-worth, basically."
"Mmm... not quite. You might be thinking of amour de soi. It more represents the view someone has of their own perception by society, defined by their observations of others in regards to themselves. Better defined as personal honor or dignity or something like that. But the best word for it, in my opinion, would be pride."
