Daemons are, in essence, a person's soul in an animal's body. This animal is of the opposite sex (in almost all cases) and its shape is representative of their human's personality, both obvious and repressed traits. Young children, before reaching adulthood, have daemons who change into other animals at will because their

Re-l's daemon is a puma, very sleek and very...very large. Large enough for him to be downright embarrassing when she walks around because everyone's afraid of the lumbering animal following at her side.

[Edgeworth is deep in thought as he comes walking down the street, his similarly pensive daemon trotting at his heels. He doesn't see her at first.]

[proxysearch]

[She does, though, pausing. The cat at her side perks his head up, ears turning back. She eyes the dog at his heels.]

Cute.

[mentis_reae]

[He hears that word and coughs, his head jerking up, frowning uncomfortably.]

I beg your pardon?

[Lucia's tail, though, wags tentatively.]

[proxysearch]

The dog. She's cute.

[Beside her, the cat's tail begins to lash back and forth just every now and then, eying the two of them up.]

[mentis_reae]

She's a hunting dog.

[Hardly an answer. He nods to her cat.]

Yours is...quite graceful.

[proxysearch]

He's quite big, you mean.

[The cat sits beside her, coming up to her waistline.]

[mentis_reae]

[He lifts his chin.]

I've seen larger.

[Not a larger cat, perhaps, but larger ones. The beagle cocks her head gently to the side, her tail still stirring with tentative friendliness.]

[proxysearch]

Have you.

[She gives him a brief smile. Iggy lowers his head and sniffs at the dog curiously.]

[mentis_reae]

Most certainly.

[Lucia's glance upwards at him perhaps gives up the lie. Still, she's looking back to the cat a moment later, nose close to nose, tail still now as she tries to read the puma's intentions.]

[Iggy leans in closer to sniff her, finally crouching down on all fours to shift closer in the most non-threatening way possible. This, however, only succeeds in him putting his nose underneath the beagle's ears and snuffling at her.]

Nicely, Iggy.

[mentis_reae]

[Lucia's head draws back slightly - but not out of fear. No; she's just watching Iggy closely, with bright intelligent eyes. Her tail starts wagging again, and she waits with patience for Iggy to stop sniffing her ear. As soon as there's a break in his investigation, she nudges his jaw slightly with her nose to sniff at his neck.]

[proxysearch]

[In response, there is a rumble in his throat, quiet but still audible. It is not one of hostility at all, but approval. He opens his jaws and yawns after a moment.]

[mentis_reae]

[That tail starts wagging broadly, and Lucia settles down happily on her haunches. A moment later, she springs up again to move around and sniff at Iggy's hindquarters. Edgeworth clears his throat.]

Forgive me. She's...forward.

[proxysearch]

[Re-l tries not to laugh, though she looks a little uncomfortable. The cat's tail lashes, brushing her nose. It's a clear message.]

And she's rather brave.

[mentis_reae]

Well. Lucia, enough now...

[Lucia makes a complete circuit of the cat, trotting happily as she comes to the cat's front once more. And then she pushes her nose to Iggy's.]
