Well, you know.

[gesturing with her claws and her big sharp teeth.]

A monster isn't usually the hero of the story.

[saillune]

A monster...?

[She follows, but she's a little hesitant to comment on it...]

I thought maybe you were a sort of beastman. Is that not quite right...?

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm turning into a wolf.

[saillune]

Wh, what!?

How!?

[honkinbigteeth]

It's kind of a long and gruesome story. Let's just leave it at that.

[saillune]

I see... I'm sorry for prying.

[she looks really worried, though.]

[honkinbigteeth]

It's okay. You're being nice. You're a hero, aren't you?

[saillune]

... Yes!

[She's not so used to other people calling her that, it seems.]

So if you're ever in need of help, you need only ask!

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm sure there's downsides to being a hero, too, but that's really exciting.

[saillune]

W, well, it's really more of an aspiration than an actual position I get to hold...

[She'll try not to give her the idea that she's a full-time hero, at least...]

But I consider it a blessing and an honour to be able to fight against evil!

[honkinbigteeth]

What kind of evil do you fight?

[saillune]

Bandits, assassins, dark cults... Those who have given their hearts to darkness and bring harm to their fellow people!

But most of all... my greatest enemies are the embodiments of evil itself, the demons.

[honkinbigteeth]

Demons...? You know, I can't say I've ever met a demon.

[saillune]

That's normal, I think. Most people haven't. They tend to work in the shadows, sometimes disguising themselves as humans... They don't reveal themselves until the moment they attack.

[honkinbigteeth]

Mm.

[she frowns a bit at that description.]

That kind of thing scares people. Knowing that anyone could just be a monster in disguise.

[saillune]

They usually try to take high-ranking positions in institutions... court advisors, military generals... that kind of thing.

So the good news is that ordinary people usually don't need to doubt their neighbours, I think...

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh. That makes a lot more sense. Bringing down the man...that's pretty impressive.
