[... Sounds like a resource from a video game, when she explains it like that.]

So... It's magic, basically. But the kind you need physically? We don't have anything like that where I'm from. And honestly, magic pretty much doesn't exist in any capacity back home, unless you learn it from a demon. And since no one even knew they existed until everything went down back home...

[schmisse]

Magic is just a concept in Remnant. It's not something that is even possible.

[ But it is, and she implies that much. ]

No human is capable of magic— using the elements without the use of Dust or Aura. You'd hear about it in fairy tales, though.

[belheir]

Yeah, magic was something you'd hear about in fairy tales back home too. Nothing that actually existed, unless it was in books or movies or stuff like that.

... It was pretty disorienting, being able to use it for the first time.

[schmisse]

Does it tire you if you use too much?

[ Has he even used a lot of it since he became a demon? Who knows. It's worth asking, anyway. ]

[belheir]

It used to. But now I'm kind of like... a bottomless fountain of the stuff? I'm sure I could probably exhaust it, but it'd be pretty hard. Especially since it's something that also regenerates with rest, much like Aura.

[schmisse]

Oh! Do you go to sleep?

[ There's an outburst of energy with the way she says it, as if she just thought about it and blurted it out loud. It's a good question! In her head, anyway. ]

[belheir]

I can. I don't have to anymore, but I kind of like to anyway, since it's a decent way to pass the time and it's a bit awkward staying awake when no one else is?

[It's a good question! And the answer is... Sometimes!]

[schmisse]

But if you don't have to, does it mean you don't get sleepy anymore?

[ He'd just be forcing himself to rest, if so. ]

[belheir]

I can still get sleepy, if I'm doing nothing for too long. My body is sort of still used to my human rhythms, since it's still fairly human? And I can definitely get tired if I over exert myself.

[ Please keep up the normal stuff, body. You're doing a great job. ]

[schmisse]

What other human things do you still need to do? Or can do, anyway.

[ Sleeping, check. Eating human food? Is that still a thing? ]

[belheir]

Eating, drinking.... That kind of stuff. I can still breathe, but that's mostly on reflex now?

[ It's too weird to just give that up, thanks! ]

[schmisse]

So you won't die even if you're strangled, huh?

[ Why does it sound like she had plans ]

[belheir]

... No?

[ Should he feel a little uncomfortable now, or...? ]

[schmisse]

Are you... weak or susceptible to anything?

[ Immortal people are always so troublesome... ]

[belheir]

No... at least, I don't think so? I mean, there might be some kind of binding that might be able to hold me for a bit, but it probably wouldn't last very long.

[ As far as he's aware, he's as immortal as they come. ]

I mean, you could probably kill me, but I'd... get right back up, after a few minutes or so.

[schmisse]

I see. I was just curious.

[ So it's the same with Salem, then. That's kind of unfortunate. Not that she'd want him dead! Just that she figured she might have gotten a clue on how to get Salem down and out for the count finally. ]

That's all I wanted to know.

[belheir]

[ Hmm... if he gives it a little more thought.... ]

Actually, the first Bel had it's power sundered and split by God originally... And while obviously it didn't die, it was pretty weakened for thousands of years. And I did kill the God that did that and took over, so...

I don't know. Maybe it is possible?

[schmisse]

Let's just hope my question didn't jinx you.

[ Because that would be bad for him! ]
