Leave me be Demon for I am eating.

Johanna at the end of the table, with nothing more than a bowl of of minestrone soup, small buns of bread, and pasta swimming in an alfredo sauce. Next to her meal is physics textbook and several scattered pieces of note paper. Even as she dipped bits of bread into her soup she was busy scribbling elegant calligraphy onto the paper with her fountain pen, answering the questions listed at the end of the chapter. Some of her classmates called her an over achiever but to her it just diligent work. Just because she was eating didn't mean that she had to squander it. While she sits at a large table, only one of half the the table is fully occupied while on the other half its just Johanna with her homework. This suited her just fine though as it meant that there was no immediate distractions around herself.

"So if multiply it by the gravitational constant... then it should be..." she mutters to herself.

Johanna writes out some equations with one hand while the other hand scoops up a tangle of pasta noodles. She takes a bite, sets her fork down, pats the extra sauce off her mouth with a napkin and resumes her studies in the midst of the cafeteria.

@Max!!

As Johanna reviewed her work, she saw from the corner of her eye that someone someone approach the table she was sitting at. When she looked up and saw Lucy, her face twisted with mild shock before contorting into a disdainful gaze. Johanna knew the demons game... a ploy to sully her image among her peers for tolerating a demon. Be she couldn't just try to force her away at that would only make her look like the aggressor and the demon appear as the victim. A clever plot she has to admit but Johanna caught onto whatever this demon's intentions are.

At first she remains silent to Lucy, ignoring her as if no one was sitting near her. But... Lucy's presence proved too much of distraction for Johanna as she couldn't quite shake off her demons influence. At last, Johanna sighed with resignation and asked:

"Shouldn't you be sitting with your own kind and not bother someone whom is clearly trying to do their schoolwork?"

Johanna didn't even bother to look up to Lucy as twirled her fork in the noodles and took a bite. She silently prayed that the demon will just leave them to merely eat their meal in peace.

Johanna slowly exhales, setting her pen down and straightened her posture to look at the devil sitting across from her. She gives Lucy a leery stare as she listens to her with her arms crossed. As the demon spoke Johanna what game they were trying to play with her. What devious plot was it conjuring? Johanna knew it was unwise to listen to the deals offered by demons but perhaps if she just hears them out then perhaps it will leave them alone. Not like she will be agreeing to any offer that they are going to make.

"A promise mind you that I had very little input in." grumbled Johanna she continued to address her grievances "And I personally think it would be best if you do remain with your kind... to keep your affairs within your own sphere of influence but... I digress. I'll hear out your proposal... under the condition that once you have you will bother me further. Are we in agreement?"

Johanna wrinkles her nose, as if she smelled something foul. She lets out a dismissive snort as she picks up her pen and goes back to whatever homework problem she left off earlier, not even bother to look at the insectiod demon across from her. She was right to think of her being stupid... because she was. Why would she ever trust or help a demon? She said that one's past nor background means should mean anything but that is where she was wrong... it meant everything.

"There is nothing that your able to prove because there is nothing to prove. Your past and heritage... its like a stain that you can't scrub away no matter how laborious your efforts. It will always be a part of you, a permanent mark that one can't erase nor deny. Now will you leave me be demon? It would the greatest kindness you could ever do for me."
