Ruby went for Cran-apple herself and put the cartons back as she listened to Cole's story. Human father, Demon mother. Full demon, however that worked. Hundred years, yeah that was young for a demon here, but as he said, half and half. And the emotion thing. Well she knew that better than most, though demons here were capable of the good emotions they just tended to have been tortured out of them over the centuries. They were from Ruby but Sam managed to grab a shred of something good and find a person. It was so important. And it seemed to be what Phoebe Halliwell had done for Cole. Half and half, now that was something they didn't have. Unless one counted the baby she carried. Demons by their nature were human souls twisted and turned bad. There were no pure demons as he spoke of them. "It's different here I guess, we're His Creation. Lucifer's I mean, he made us as a mockery of humanity. Twisted and turned, the first of us, her name was Lilith and she was tempted by Lucifer personally. Her soul burned out of all recognition, and that's what we are. Just...broken souls. Some people say like ghosts only spun round hell for a few centuries on top."
She felt bad for the guy already, life really had just kicked him in the teeth from day one. It was likely he'd never been given a chance to be anything other than evil. Anything other than giving into his demon side. And clearly Law School hadn't helped. What was it, you sold your soul Junior year? Cole's had gone into service long before that. "Do you remember him? Your father I mean, do you have any good memories of the guy or is it all hell, or, what do you call it, the Underworld?" To Ruby it was the same thing, the same evil given a new title. The Source was their Lucifer, the Triad, all of it, it wasn't so different. Not really.
"Sounds like here, though you're very different in terms of what you are specifically, we don't have half and half here, we're the soul, the body is just a thing we possess. We get their memories, their knowledge, all of it. And that's how we interact up here, usually, I mean I don't anymore, this girl was dead as I took her so...call me the exception." She wouldn't tell him why just yet, that was a story for another time. They had a lot to get through, a whole lot of information to share on just what they were, and while she was getting a read on the guy she wanted a bit more time around him till she was sure he was on the level. "As for the structure, yeah that's pretty much it, we have a couple of kinds of demons with powers slightly tailored but the ranks, the powers being different for the more powerful, and the outdoing each other for a chance to hit that next rung on the ladder, that's all true of us too."
"Tell me about your abilities and we can work from there, but again, I'm not like most demons. I made a wish a while back to negate a lot of the weaknesses of my kind, but also I'm a Witch, have been since I was mortal, That by the way, 14th Century. 13...40 something, or 50, I don't know specifics. We tend to start out having hit at least 100 downstairs." she added before waiting to find out more from his side.
