How can one be animate without a soul? (He asks this far from his shinki - just in case they take offense.) I do not understand how they move; how they speak; how they serve? The essence of life is one's spirit, surely?

(Though he cannot speak for demons, of course.)

I am venturing onto esoteric grounds, I know, but what better place to make such inquiries? Besides, I do not know if I am entirely comfortable sharing my home with one who is soulless.

Wouldn't imagine a lad like you'd understand but I wouldn't say no to a nip at the local pub if I've the time. Humans make for fine conversation. We were one of them once, mind. Not that too far removed!

[ At least he isn't. Can't say for everyone else. ]

That's the thing though, innit? All this time, we'd thought the bloke was a local and we'd find him if we just looked hard enough. If he isn't here though, he could be anywhere. There's also the matter of how he's pulling this all off if he isn't here.

I understand drinking. (So they're not above humans, then; they are just separated from them.) I do not think you are removed at all except in your occupation and your powers. Do you feel the same as you did when you were wholly human?

Maybe he has an accomplice?

Bit odd but can't say, really. Easier to move round yeah but can't say there's been any glaring differences. Bit easier on the job though if we're to separate ourselves from most humanity though.

An accomplice could be possible! Though there really hasn't been much development on that front. Last conclave they held was ages ago. May, if I recall correctly.
