I took a quick jaunt to Arashmaharr this morning to get other opinions and see what info I could find out about it... it being the demon, Echo, which is neither male nor female. It manifests itself as whomever would

I look over Astra's shoulder, trying to help in the search for information. "What I'm curious about," I say, "is if this demon was already in the phone when I got it, or if it somehow targeted me. I guess that's not somethin' we'll ever know, huh?"

I frown at her. "That could be really dangerous. There's no telling what might happen if you call it out."

I kind of understand why she wants to do that, though. She's very protective of Stefan, and I could see her wanting to get to the bottom of it all.

"I dunno if I want you to do that," I tell her, scowling slightly. "Ya know I'd never forgive myself if you got hurt." Problem is I know she'd actually do it. She takes the protector thing very seriously.
