Somewhat, yes.

[Although far from the most inappropriate thing he's said to her recently.]

I don't particularly want emotional crap in my life, but some people don't seem to mind. Try an American.

Funny story - when you're a ghost in my world, emotional crap and getting really, really pissed off or upset is how you make the living world see you.

Dunno if it's the same in your place of worship but hey, the more you know, right?

Are you a ghost or a demon?

[Clearly, they need to get the terminology settled.]

I'm the ghost with the most.

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?

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 did ask. Why are you apologizing?

Beeeecause I know I talk a lot about myself and people don't like that?

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.

Oh, shit. That would be hilarious except now that I HAVE flesh, sudden empathy attack.

I've been stabbed a LOT in my course of work. It's how demons say hi.

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.

Oh yeah? I figured I was gonna be a human meat shield for my inmate. Especially since I still have my name curse.

Is that what Wardens are for? Perhaps I should get one.

Yeah, we're kinda like advocates, I guess? Also I'd totes take a bullet for Loki, he's my boy. He's incredible. Don't stab him.

I'll do my best not to. Could you describe him?

Tall, long dark hair, Nordic, smirky expression, magic powers, loves elaborate gold-and-green, looks and acts godlike.

Hm, that should do. It sounds like he stands out.

He's a sexy beast.

You're indiscriminate, aren't you?

Pansexual.

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?
