P-perks of lineage?! [SSssso. Funny thing, this. Somehow, Ed has been pushed beyond the point of utter absurdity into the area where he's actually considering this As A Thing That Might Conceivably Occur. While also not being able to think properly because, of course, of how completely insane it all is.]

Look, I'm sure you have very nice hips and an amazing set of teeth I can attest to the teeth they are very nice even if they are kind of sharp but that is completely and definitely not the point. For starters, I'm basically one badly timed choking accident away from being the heir to a small fortune in weapons and technological development, and on top of that I'm supposed to be the heir to magic itself or something!

This is a lot of responsibility, and I am keeping my last name at the very least!

Does that mean you're accepting..? [Ryudamon is glowing.]

Wha--NO! THAT IS NOT HOW I MEANT IT!

Hm. I guess we can hyphenate. Its a little long, but then the Japanese do love their titling. It'll be a hell of a mouthful, but it'll be fun to see them try at formals.

[ Ed. Ed she's considering because its legal where she's from Ed. She looks serious now Ed. No one is stopping this from careening wildly out of control Ed. ]

And yes, perks of lineage. As the first Ichishi guardian on the side of the demons in...well...over a century for sure? There's a pretty big dowry that comes along with it. Since the Human guardians aren't allowed any of the wealth of the demons. So once its assured I'm continuing the line on the demon side, perks.

And I'm not entitled to any of your inheritance, so I don't know why you're worried about that. Inherit whatever you like? Makes no difference to me.

Also, you only kind of sweeten the deal saying you're the heir to "magic itself", or whatever. Marrying you would only make me that much more highly regarded. Plus, if you're mostly human, that's a really big deal where I'm from. There are very few active, living mages.

[HE DOESNT KNOW ANY OF THAT.]

...So you're saying that if I marry you I'll be like doublefilthy rich and also basically married to a lady with a lot of sway over demons and meanwhile I will kind of probably have a lot of say with the human world, which would mean we could use that power to like, make world peace a thing?

[TEMPTING...]

[VERY TEMPTING...]

[...OH GOD WHY AM I EVEN CONSIDERING THIS.]

W-WAIT A SEC I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I LIKE YOU LIKE THAT!

Hm. Yeah. I guess that is what I'm saying...[ She replies, almost as surprised as himself. Powerful marriages between humans and demons were fairly precious things. He'd elevate her as much as she'd elevate him. There were other suitors in her life, but he'd rank fairly high up there. Hm hm hmmm...tempting indeed.

Oop. He's having another spasm. Fond of shouting. Good, he'd need a bit of spunk to keep up with her. ]

Well then, stop complaining about the date! You're the one that was shouting about marriage. I accepted, end of story. Its alright though! You have plenty of time to get to know me, and if you change your mind...well. I'll be sad, but I'll understand. I know a girl that looks like me can be...less than appealing. [ She's pouting for you, Ed. Those fluffy ears are hangin' low. Naturally the big awesome mage wouldn't want to marry a lowly demon. ]

[Oh man now he's gone and hurt her feelings..! PANIC!]

W-w-w-w-w-well it's not like I dislike you... and I mean a date probably won't hurt anything--maybe two if it goes well.

And, hey, what do you mean by less than appealing?

Well you know. Humans can be really sort of racist. Or specist? I mean...my ears and teeth alone are enough to bother some people but then there's this-- [ She grabbed the end of her tail, holding up the scaly length ending in a massive froth of pink hair. ]

--and I mean, my natural form is nothing like this at all. I'm not human, you know. I'm all wings and teeth and scales. I might be roughly human-shaped but the similarities are few these days. I can choose to look human, but its just magic.

I wouldn't want you to marry me and think you were gettin' a bum deal. I believe in full disclosure.

Well... There was a girl I like back home who was literally a demon, whose ancestors all turned into incredible monsters she summoned after they die... so she was literally the granddaughter of a huge scaly dragon that breathed molten lava or something.

Plus, my best friend was a demon too... so... I don't think I judge based on that? It's not a big deal... You are who you are on the inside, and form doesn't stop people from being friends.

[Wait this is sounding awkward AUGH SHAKING HIS HEAD.]

A-anyways that's not the point! Nothing's been decided or anything!

Wow, we could almost be...multiversal space twins or something... [ She nodded, finding a lot of similarities. A lot of differences, certainly, but a lot of similarities as well. ]

I can't summon any ancestors, I'm not that good with magic. I did have a sword made from the souls of my ancestors that manifested itself as a woman though. And I'm not the granddaughter of a huge dragon, but the descendant of one. He's still alive, according to legend, but I haven't met him yet, only seen paintings. He's the big rain-dancing world-dragony sort, you know? [ She gestured a flying snake-like motion before laughing lightly and arching a brow. ]

Of course nothing has been decided. Nothing is set in stone. This, as all things, is merely an idea. A fit of whim or an intangible dream. [ She wiggles her fingers at the screen, arching a brow and smirking lightly. ]

You don't have to marry me. You don't even have to date me. You never have to speak to me at all. I can come pick you up and you can stare at me awkwardly the whole trip. Your choice, sweetheart. I can tell you what would be more fun for you though.

Oh, I know that kind of dragon really well. Lucas was one of those! He taught me a lot about magic and balance and stuff... They're really huge, aren't they? Like, his claw was bigger than me! I don't think he had any descendants, though... Even if he was married to a dryad who... [FURIOUS BLUSH.] W-well that's not important!

[When she makes plain that nothing's for sure, he relaxes by a lot, and is much better able to focus on the conversation at hand.]

W-well, okay then. If nothing's set in stone, then nothing's set in stone. But, uh. Don't think for a minute that I won't talk to you. You're a friend, so of course I'm going to talk to you, even if it's awkward or I end up fainting. Though... I'm guessing by 'what's more fun' you mean 'dating,' huh.
