Would you harm her? It doesn't sound like you would on purpose.
I know sometimes things happen, though.

[ He has no idea if Paimon goes out of control at other people. He saw the demon try to hurt Peter's body, though, clawing at his throat or that freaky drowning thing. And then there was the time he'd been messing with the corpse, but he hadn't been the one to kill it, right? And demons are probably "evil" but what does that even mean. ]

I think you should try to get along. You're both here and you both have to survive.

I WOULD NOT HARM THE WITCH
WE are bonded

[ ...........The demon accidentally switches off capslock in the middle of his powerful declaration. ]

survive

[ Now there's.......something that gives him a lot of thought. He doesn't know what his purpose is, anymore. He remembers vague echoes of it, but he's not able to really do much, right now. Surviving, though... Is that the goal, for now? To survive?

At first, he'd thought he needed to get rid of Peter, by... killing him. Until he realised people come back to life here, and that killing Peter's body would most likely just kill him, too. They're trapped together, bound physically. No, he needs his young vessel technically alive... It's Peter's mind that has to go. Or his soul. ]

both will not survive
only me

I believe you wouldn't hurt her.

But I think as long as you're here, you really do have to learn to live with each other.
You're both my friends. I don't want anything to happen to either of you.
Why can't you be friends with Peter too?

[ Paimon's.... surprised, by that. He understands the concept, more or less, of what a "friend" is. A companion. But it's not really something he thinks is particularly relevant to himself. There are people he's fond of and wants to please, but... that's not really a "friend" is, it?

Yet this boy calls him a "friend", and Paimon thinks perhaps... perhaps, that is true. He does consider Credence a sort of companion; he's one of the first people here with whom Paimon felt some sort of connection to.

But friends with Peter.. It's very complicated. Still, he's seen that people here are attached to Peter; he remembers when River had pleaded with him, tearfully. He will try to be a bit gentler about it. ]

the boy is my vessel
it is unnatural for him to survive
we can not be friends or companions

a body is only meant for one soul
is it the same in your world?

[ Maybe where Credence is from, multiple souls can occupy one host? He's interested to learn, if so. ]
