Shafer brought his hand up to press a few fingers to his mouth, badly stifled smile twitching on his features as he was chastised with as much dark malice as a mother scolding her child in public. He was caught between the conclusion that this was an incredible position to be in and that this was one of the worst things that had ever happened to him. He had an entire year to figure that out. And honestly he was just glad that whole 'rest of his life' notion hadn't played out. "A name? Just any name I want? No, don't give me that much power. Give me something to call you."

"I don't have a proper name. It changes with every contract, so just spit one out." The demon replied with a shrug. Vex had called him Double since numerous times he made a joke of shapeshifting into her and pretending to be her twin sister. It had been funny a few times, and it had been good to confuse enemies.
Double frowned, unable to avoid feeling at least a little upset when he thought about his former contract. While he wasn't going after the hunters to avenge her, he definitely considered it one of the benefits of cutting them down. She'd been one of the better people he'd traveled with.

I think I'm heading off to bed now I already hate myself for staying up so late but I might as well try to salvage what I can. Talk to you tomorrow ^^))
"Sebastian-- no, I'm so sorry, I'm kidding. Don't. Not actually. Uhh. Kai. Yeah, Kai. It means--" Shafer cut himself off there and smiled pleasantly. If he finished that sentence, he'd sound even lamer than this demon already surely thought he was. He wasn't quite sure why he cared so much. "You should really focus on your language. It's really jarring, y'know. Quite mean." He commented breezily as he strode over and claimed a bed by tackling it.

"My language is unlikely to change." Double replied. He considered this new nickname. At least it was short and easy to remember. "Either way, get some sleep. We have some setup to do tomorrow, then tomorrow night, we're going to work on getting my business take care of." He said, sitting himself down in the armchair near the window. He looked outside a moment. No sign of the hunters. Had they lost his trail? They had to be tracking him somehow.

Shafer squirmed onto his back and stretched out shamelessly. He dragged a hand through his hair and gathered it over one shoulder in preparation to braid the ridiculous strands so when he woke up, they weren't going to be too unmanageable. "Am I going to get to watch you kill people?" He asked like the twelve year old he was.

"I mean, if you don't want to, you can cover your eyes." The demon replied with a small shrug. Might as well tell him now. "There's a group looking for me. They'll target my contractors first, so I don't plan on having you too near the fighting." He closed the window curtain and leaned back in his seat. He didn't plan to lose another contract to the hunters before he could cut them down.
Either way, a cushioned seat was a great improvement from the woods and his travels. He fell quiet, enjoying the comfort and conditioned air. It was a nice change...

Shafer could barely handle the gore in low budget horror movies, so he took that as a pretty solid sign that real life would be a definite no-go on that front. Cover his eyes. Yeah, that sounded good, he thought distantly. Everything was very surreal in that moment and in hindsight, he'd realize the only reason he was taking it so well was because he was disassociated out of his mind. Dream-like and without consequences, he let himself react to anything that came out of the demon's mouth like it was a game. Make believe. "Okay, well sounds like a you-problem for now. I'll start paying attention when it becomes a me-problem," he spoke breezily as he turned and burrowed his way beneath the covers. It wasn't long before he was settled and ready to pass out, the weight of the stress finally reaching him through his haze and shoving him closer to slumber with every passing second.

Double.... Kai only responded with another shrug. He dropped his disguise, no longer wanting to use energy on a human disguise. His true form was fairly humanoid, though tall. Almost seven foot, with translucent grayish skin and large black eyes. Really, he was sort of similar to the grey aliens from low-budget space movies. His clothes changed to a single rough-looking cloth that wrapped around his entire body like a cloak.
Considerably more comfortable, he closed his eyes and made an attempt to get some sleep.

It was a good thing Shafer was too far gone to open his eyes again because if he would've witnessed the demon's true form, he would've had a conniption. And then asked to touch him. Either way it would've been Bad. but luckily for Kai, Shafer was facing the other direction and at an extremely lazy stage of the falling asleep process. He thought he heard some cloth scraping against the fabric of the chair. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered. And then, just like that, he was out like a light for the foreseeable future.

Kai slept through the night, waking in the early morning. He stayed sitting in the chair for a few moments before he stood up and changed shape, once again disguising himself as the same man as yesterday. He headed down to the lobby, piling a plate high with bagels, muffins, apples, and toast. He grabbed a handful of jelly packs and a tucked a few water bottles under his arm before he headed back up toward the main room. He set the plate, packs, and bottles on the bedside table, dropping his human form once again and picking up a bagel and jelly pack before returning to his chair and siting down to eat and enjoy.

Shafer twitched into consciousness at the sound of so much damn activity in the room. As soon as he was awake enough to register that it was too bright, he rolled over onto his stomach and shoved his face into his pillow. He moaned softly in protest towards the demand to get up that hadn't even come yet. "What time is it, are you insane?"

"Breakfast in these places doesn't last that long." Kai replied simply. "If you'd been on the run as long as me, you'd have woken up an hour earlier for half the food." He spread a packed of jelly on the bagel before he started eating. He looked over at the boy a moment before he poured a small amount of water from his water bottle on his hand and flicked it at him.

"If you'd been on the run as long as me--" Shafer deepened his rather feminine voice down a solid octave, mocking the demon shamelessly before he was flicked with water. He cursed roughly and retreated under the covers entirely, frantically wiping the liquid off like it was acid. When the dust settled, it was clear he wasn't going to be coming out on his own accord for a while, having been thoroughly traumatized by the outside world already. "That was so terribly not cool, Kai."

"Yes, that's half of what I said." Kai responded, not entirely on with the idea of mocking. He flicked a few more drops of water at the blanket before his interest returned to the food in his hand. "Either way, you'll want to get up soon. We have to give the room key back in a few hours, and then we'll want to get moving again."
(Bedtime for me, night)

Shafer shook his head before he remembered Kai probably didn't see that. He was about to start crying or something before a brilliant idea struck him. "How about you just do that super cool magical thing that you did yesterday and I can stay here, in bed, until you're done. That sounds good right?" He popped his head up above the covers and it took damn near a minute for his half asleep brain to compute what he was looking at. "Whoa. You look. You look like a sh-tty movie prop." Okay, so it didn't 100% compute apparently.
Night!))

"No, I don't want to stay here too long." Kai replied flatly. "If those people found a way to follow me, they won't be far behind by now. I was lucky to get ahead of them once, now I have to keep it this way. If they catch up before I'm ready, there won't be anything left of you to send home. Now get up." He said, already starting to change shape back into the same disguise he'd been using. Once they were out of the hotel, he'd use a different one... for now, he had to stay consistent.

"Fine. But I'm going to sulk for the next twelve hours." Shafer pouted when the demon refused to respond to his jab. He'd really been quite proud of that one. What a jerk. He huffed and swung his legs over the side of the bed and stretched dramatically. And then cringed. Hard. "Gods, my mouth feels gross. I need a toothbrush. A-S-A-P. Can we make a stop at like. A drug store or something?" He smiled hopefully, hoping his gorgeous smile would be enough to convince Kai.

(Sorry i was absent so long. I've gotten some new games and I'm very absorbed in them ) Kai looked a little confused about the sulking. Why? Because he had to get out of bed? Like he did every day? Was this normal? Maybe instead of servitude, he should have asked for a cure for his depression regarding waking up? "A drug store?" Kai questioned. He hadn't exactly made a habit of entering cities in the last century. He was unfamiliar with the term.
