Weirdbard strides across the room in three gigantic strides and towers over Lois. Opening a maw that could swallow whole a herd of cattle he starts to lower his head down as if to snap off her head in a single bite.
Susan is so terrorified she cannot speak or move.
Imp 13 smirks as he expects the momentary gruesome death of the reporter.
At the last moment Weirdbard turns his head to look at 13 and rather mildly states. "Do I look that stupid to you?"
Before 13 can react Weirdbard snaps out a talon and siezes the imip and pulls him up to face level.
"Lois maybe a bit of a pain in the ass but I know and have known for a long time that her and Susan are friends. Do you think I know so little of my imps I don't know who they associate with and who their friends are?"
Weirdbard places his other talon alongside 13's head and for a moment Susan and Lois are afraid he is going to rip off 13's head but he merely places it almost gently on the top of 13's head and peers into the imp's eyes.
"There is a darkness inside you that was never there before."
Bard noticeably calms down. "Oh 13, tell me you are not stupid enough you let a true evil posess you."
