Are you a ghost or a demon?
[Clearly, they need to get the terminology settled.]

And now that anger and emotional displays are no longer necessary for you to manifest, you still haven't broken the habit?
Ohhh, somebody knows their ghosts. I'm impressed.
Well, you go extra hard on the anger for a few centuries in order to be seen and then you're suddenly human and alive, the whiplash is EXTREME. At this point I'm shocked I haven't murdered anyone as a warden.

Ghosts aren't my field, but knowing things is.
[She makes a thoughtful noise.]
Is that your problem? Inappropriate anger?
[She makes a thoughtful noise.]

Nah. I mean, I get appropriately pissed off at times, but...
Honestly I don't know what I am because there's nobody like me. Like, ever. And Mom's a literal demon and I was born in hell and I THINK I'm a ghost but it's really not something I tried to look into all that much because it just makes me sad.
Wow. Sorry.

I like people answering my questions. It saves effort.
In any case, I stabbed you, which puts the burden of apology on my side for at least this conversation.
[QED.]

Okay but I harassed you into stabbing me.
Also I'm supposed to be a warden, which, ooh, meaningless promotion but people here seem to think I should be putting up with stabbings and I gotta agree with them.
But hey! I'm here to answer questions. I just might not know all the answers.

Don't be ridiculous. I stabbed you because I mistook you for an avatar of the Corruption planning to rot my flesh from my bones in my current weakened state.
[She sounds thoroughly dismissive.]
Far be it from me to tell you not to put up with stabbing, but it's often considered antisocial behavior.

Yes, well, I was mistaken. Thus the apology.
You certainly shouldn't be expected to absorb more violence now that you're in a position of authority.

Is that what Wardens are for? Perhaps I should get one.
I'll do my best not to. Could you describe him?
Hm, that should do. It sounds like he stands out.
All the way from dramatic Nordic men with a color theme to eighty-year-old women in cardigans.
That's very pan.
[It's not the men and women thing so much as it is that the only thing she and this 'Loki' seem to have in common is a smirk and enthusiastic approval from Betelgeuse.
And he hadn't even seen her smirk.]
What's your name curse?
