[And watch how Bruce misinterprets this. So, so badly. WELL THEY LEFT ALL THAT AWKWARD FLOATING AROUND, IT'S AN EASY MISTAKE, OKAY.]

Uh. ...Um, I. Wh-why exactly should I be going? ...Exactly?

Because-- Why wouldn't you? [AGGRAVATION. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO EXPLAIN. AND SHE'S NOT SURE SHE COULD EXPLAIN WHY SHE WANTS HIM SAFE EVEN IF HE WANTED TO.]

W-well, because it's your room and. Er. ...Plus, there seems to be some kind of, um. Bug problem going around. And I thought my room was, um. Fine with staying in away from all of that, that is.

It's not just a bug problem, Bruce. Now get down here.

...It's not? Th- Coming then.

[And so he puts on his hobo hat and heads down even though the AWKWARD is still out there. Lurking. Much like Jaws, though without the orchestral sound of doom (but Bruce can imagine that well enough on his own so the effect is still there).

Since Bruce is such a fit bitch, it doesn't take long before he's knocking on the door.]

[She yanks it open and yanks him over the threshold before slamming the door again, relaxing fractionally once he's inside.] I don't make demands like this lightly, I hope you're aware.

Wh-! [Was that a yelp when she pulls him in? Noooo. No. Not at all. Maybe.

Anyway. Soon as he stops himself, he stays in that exact spot lest he unknowingly intrude. Of course, as he's been invited in, that might not happen, but better safe than sorry. Bruce is just one big stick of UNCOMFORTABLE.] Yes, I ah. I can see that now, because of all the, um. Yes. ...So, er, w- What exactly is this?

This? This is the result of a powerful demon somehow gaining free reign aboard this boat. [She crosses her arms, barely keeping herself from pacing.]

...A demon. Th- Everything going on now is because. Of a demon. A- [Yeah, it's going to take a while to process and accept that.

In the meantime he just blankly watches her move out of the corner of his eye. And theeeeeeere's the start of some panic beyond the WTF factor of it all.] Uh... Thi- Your cabin is safe from all that? R-right?

Yes, Bruce. Yes, it is. [And now she does pace, pausing only briefly to point at the sigil on the floor.] It can't enter, no. It's arguably the safest place to be. But that doesn't mean it's safe.

Er. I... I have no idea what that is. Sorry.

[He takes a minute to calm himself down, letting the part of his brain that's still going BUT DEMONS AREN'T REAL run around in circles and focusing the rest on the practicality side of this.] Well, then, what's. Uh. What's the worst this, um, it can do?
