Awful

Ariane felt that if she did nothing, the Ruler of Pandemonium would make her suffer something unpleasant. Her gaze hardened slightly before she spoke in a firm tone:

"Put me down."

The Ruler of Pandemonium obeyed without protest and reluctantly set her down. Having two children perched on her wasn't easy, and she saw it as a temporary inconvenience, though it clearly did not sit well with Ariane.

"We can't have a proper discussion here."

As soon as she regained her balance, Ariane shot a dark look at the Ruler of Pandemonium, who merely shrugged, indifferent to her irritation. She had known Ariane for a long time and understood that her fiery temperament wasn't always worth reacting to.

"Alright," she replied, adjusting her grip on the child before following Ariane with an expression oscillating between curiosity and amusement.
