It is!

Liselen wobbles determinedly toward it. "Ugh ugh ugh why can't everyone be virgins," he mutters.

[whatamithinking]

"...I'm sorry? Is being around nonvirgins uncomfortable for you? Should I be backing away and communicating solely by telepathy from a safe distance? Should I be trying to shut the sensation off?"

[pythbox]

"You should not be trying to shut the sensation off! That sounds like a terrible idea!" Wobble wobble. "I'll just deal with it. Oh look, a virgin I can hide behind."

[not_only]

...um?

[whatamithinking]

"Just checking."
She switches to Sivath's language. "Apparently the kind of person that Liselen is finds nonvirgins uncomfortable to be around. And you are not, so he's hiding behind you."

[pythbox]

From behind Sivath, Liselen says, "That's better. Sort of. Anyway, does Tialle's Demon even speak this language?"

[whatamithinking]

"I am not sure."

[endragoned]

He does not speak this language!

[whatamithinking]

Would he like to? Edie can do that!

[endragoned]

Sure, why not.

[whatamithinking]

Languify!
"He does now."

[endragoned]

"What fun."

[pythbox]

"I think I'm probably supposed to tell you that you're not Dark," says Liselen. "Don't ask me how that happened. I'm just the unicorn."

[endragoned]

"It is... surprising news."

[pythbox]

"No kidding!"

[whatamithinking]

"Considering that it's probably why you're not dead, I think we can all agree that's a good thing."

[pythbox]

"If there'd been a Dragonbond Endarkened who was Dark, everyone else would probably have been dead long before Idalia could have sacrificed herself to destroy all the Endarkened," says Liselen.

[whatamithinking]

"Well, the fact that he hadn't committed genocide was not a surprise to him, so I thought it bore mentioning."

[pythbox]

"It's really weird!"

[endragoned]

"I do not feel like I have changed so very much since the time when I knew Tialle, and I was burned by her horn then, and she felt the Dark in me."

[pythbox]

"Well, there's no Dark in you now. I am hiding behind this tall human for completely different reasons."

[whatamithinking]

"...Maybe there was less Dark in you than the other demons, and the thing that killed them burned it out of you."

[endragoned]

"Would I not have noticed?"

[whatamithinking]

"I don't know, I'm just offering ideas. Regardless of how you aren't Dark, we know it to be the case. I'm probably not the best person to be generating ideas, though; I'm not as familiar with how any of this works as any of you are."

[pythbox]

"Well, I've delivered my message, so I'm going to go away now. Goodbye," says Liselen. He wobbles off into the forest.
