For everything.
Maybe this Charonte was her sissy.
If that was true …
Simi wrapped her arm around her sister’s shoulders and led her over to the corner where she had her own television monitors. “See, in this world, Xirena, the Simi does what she wants and akri, he say, ‘Okay, Simi, whatever you want, Simi.’ Unless it involves eating people. Then he usually says no, but that’s the only time. Other than that, he do what the Simi says. See how that works?”
Xirena appeared completely baffled by her words.
Simi popped her head up to look at her akri. “Where she staying now?”
“You could share a room with?—”
“No,” Simi said immediately as she realized what her akri was about to do. “The Simi don’t share her room, akri. Ever. You know this. I don’t care that she is my sissy. My room has all my special mementos in there. I think you should make her one of her own.”
The smile on his face said that her akri knew better than to argue with his demon. “Okay. Where do you want me to put her?”
She thought about it for a few minutes. “Kind of next to the Simi’s room, but not so close that she blocks the view to my Travis Fimmel billboard that the Simi has on the great wall.”
Xirena appeared horrified. “Your what? What’s a Travis Fimmel?”
Simi’s jaw dropped as she looked stunned. “You don’t know about Travis Fimmel? Oh, sissy, you are deprived. He the finest man alive.”
Xirena shuddered. “What have they done to you? You lust for men?”
“Well, I don’t lust for women. They okay and all, if that’s what you want, but that’s not the Simi’s interest.”
“No,” Xirena corrected, “I mean, you lust for humans?” The way she said those words sounded like it was the most horridest thing her sissy could imagine.
But Simi couldn’t even begin to understand that. “Well, don’t you?”
“Ew!” Xirena looked at akri. “What have you done to her? You have corrupted a perfectly good demon!” She looked back at Simi. “You need to see Drakus.”
Drakus? “Who that?”
“He the finest Charonte demon to ever live. He can breathe fire out his nose and mouth at the same time.”
That did sound like fun. The Simi could only imagine something so beautonius! “Ooo!”
Akri cleared his throat to get their attention. “Simi’s too young for that.”
“No, she’s not,” her sissy said in unison with her.
Akri-Lexi laughed. “I think you’re outnumbered, boss.”
Akri turned to see Alexion behind him. The ghosty Dark-Hunter, Danger, was entering the room just behind him.
He sighed as Alexion stopped beside him. “Forget Armageddon, this is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Two Charonte in one room.”
Ignoring her akri, Simi took her sissy so that they could sits and compare notes on “hot” men and male demons. She wanted to know lots more about this Charonte that apparently were still around.
Okies, she’d be mad at Apollymi for that later.
Right now, she just wanted to hear more.
Akri-Lexi turned to Danger and smiled. “I think it’s a good thing we have a woman in the house now. Maybe she can talk some sense into them.”
Danger snorted. “The demons are your domain, not mine. I’m not even going there.”
