Family Matters, Even If It Hurts [Calypso/Inami]

The clearly very emotional Calypso felt like she said enough of her own mind for the time being, looking to Inami in silence as the queen trained her own unique eyes upon her niece. The girl couldn't help but frown at her aunt's words to not assess demons with human standards, not seeming to quite get what the heck she even meant; As far as existences and experiences go, demons and humans were similar, werent they?

That is, until she mentioned that the oldest of their kind, Abbadon, was old, far older than even the oldest stories she had read. She felt a pit in the cavity one would call a stomach within her, looking down and just trying to imagine that, imagine being millions upon millions of years old. She couldn't, of course she couldn't, Calypso was a blithering toddler even to human standards of age, being merely a year and three quarters old, even if she was mentally far older. She didn't see her situation of existential age versus mental age as an entirely odd thing, but this conversation just made her more aware of the gaping hole she felt towards herself and other beings. She was an oddity in many respects, even amongst demons.

Calypso was about to retort about the rampant killing amongst their own kind, but she held her tongue, she knew better than to interrupt, Inami already gave her the respect of letting her speak, even if she probably sounded stupid to her. Caly was struck with a realization as Inami spoke of it; Yeah, Demon World was pretty huge, even if she was repelled by how the earth itself made her feel. She spent most of her time afraid of it, staying on earth, away from her kind, but she had heard stories from demons who had come from places she never even heard of... So Inami's question of why they were invading other realms struck the girl as odd, the realization dawning upon her face.

When the queen before her asked who possessed those poisonous qualities, a pit of anger she normally had shut bubbled in her as she tipped her head down, a forceful sigh exiting her lips, "..Mama."

Her hands tightened into fists, as she had to be reminded all over again about her mother's many terrors. The suffering she caused, the lives she's ended...

"..Born from earth..?" The question momentarily broke Calypso's burning anger towards her mother's sins, blinking slowly as her unrest quelled. Mama was... Born on earth? That.. That was odd, to say the least. She didn't imagine someone like her could be born on some mortal plane, though she didn't even know that demons didn't even invade other realms til... Her.

Her hands gripped the armrests of the seat tightly, "..I didn't know that."

She remained silence, looking upon the queen's eyes, staring into them, feeling the emotions behind them, intense and sad and all, the girl's own eyes reflecting with a similar vein of sadness. She wanted so terribly to make this suffering end, to stop this killing of their own people, and now with the new realization that things simply weren't nature, with the invasion of other realms.. It felt like in some primal pit in her mind, she was guilty of intrusion as well, being drawn to the realm and residing in it for so long, lacking the understanding and experience in her own kind and their functions.

"..So.. Mama was just doing that, out of her own self interest..." Caly's eyes burned with anger and pain; she had personally experienced the death of many demons and other beings because of their occupation on earth in the ensuing war. Lives destroyed, family ties severed, the lonely being made to rot in unmarked graves..

"..Yes. I want to, I want to help our kind. I want to bring some semblance of peace that we could possibly achieve, I don't care how human that sentiment is." There were tears in the eyes of the girl, staring the woman head on, "I've been on Earth for most of my life, even if that life was only around two years... I can't help but not fully understand how we work, especially since... I'm just weird. I don't fit, I don't have the viciousness of a demon, or the full understandings of a human.. But even if i'm a freak, I just want to help everyone not be in pain or misery all the time..! And if demons being on Earth is really as pointless and pain filled as you're making it out to be, I mean.. Maybe, maybe we just need to solve our realm's issues. Maybe it isn't helping that as far as the kingdoms are concerned, this is hardly a place to call a nice home with recent events."
