Brainwashing... he'd seen that in action. Not just with himself, either - that girl they'd run into the first night had apparently been brainwashed. What abilities did this guy have where witnessing it would prompt a conversation from Roland? There was nothing demon about him.

He wondered if Roland would have wanted him to disclose more about who he was now that he was gone - at least to this friend of his. All the demon knew was hearsay, but some of it would at least put him in a positive light. For now, he held his tongue. This man might have been Roland's friend, but Heat hardly knew him. He'd told him enough.

"Visitors?" Heat thought out loud before he could catch himself. What visitors could they possibly have here that wouldn't try to rescue them given the opportunity. He wasn't sure, but memories of the person who was Seraph and yet wasn't had him wanting to see them first hand. Maybe he was getting too far ahead of himself and it was something completely different.
