[ In all honesty, 'too many pets' isn't something that crosses Helga's mind all that much. At some point, she's probably just going to sit and keep her head rested in her lap. Probably snooze a little. She's like that. ]
I certainly wouldn't say no to more baked goods. [ It's mostly a joke, the small smile at her lips -- but really. She's got a wicked sweet tooth on her. ] Or if you're ever making it, some Shepherd's Pie would always be nice sent my way.
[ Comfort foods are good. But... as for help, Luna pauses. She pours the woman some tea before pushing the cup over to her. She has a lot to do moving forward from July, and she's certainly been wondering about someone in particular. Or someones. ]
I have... a strange question to ask. [ There's another pause. She's... treading carefully. ] While I was out. The boy who visited, the tall one. Peter. Did he... act peculiar with you at all?
[ For a brief moment, there's a little panic. Because it confirms that while she was out for the count, Paimon was very much in control of Peter's body and she's also worried because Paimon can be... a little wild. She suspects her being unconscious might have distressed him, too. ]
.... Oh. [ It's all she can manage at first. ] Well, Paimon is... he's possessing Peter. Something that happened back home for him. Paimon was in control a lot more last month... more than I thought, it seems.
[ It makes her heart hurt. No wonder Peter was in such a state when she'd persuaded the demon king to let him come back. There's a pause. ]
[ She's... still getting used to the concept of Paimon being... fond of her. Of course she knows he likes her, and whatever bond they have cements that. But it's... strange to hear him spoken of like that. ]
I think it's permanent, yes. I've... never found anything to expel him, I don't even think I can. [ Which is why working with Paimon seems like her only option. ] Something... happened to Peter back home. Paimon's been inside of him ever since he came to Deerington. A year ago, now.
Last month, Paimon got stronger -- because of the Ultimate titles. Peter was the Ultimate Host. [ Luna's... fretful. She'd been terrified when Paimon had given her Peter back after she woke up in the woman's home. He didn't seem to know himself. ] I thought I nearly lost him.

That's good to hear. If there's anything you need whilst you're recovering you just have to ask.
( especially for food considering it can be quite an effort when you're not feeling well )
You've done a lot to help people here, I'd like to help you for a little bit.

( it's easy to add to her mental list, one more little delivery to make that isn't difficult to do.
the next question does make her frown )
I didn't meet Peter. ( is she fully aware of the situation, of the boy underneath? ) I did meet Paimon.

How was Paimon? Did he... behave himself?
no subject
( and very willing to help both luna and herself, concerned with her wellbeing, with caring for her, listening and... perhaps learning.
though the rest of what luna says-- )
But-- possessing him? I've met demons before but... ( they've certainly influenced and essentially controlled people's behaviours but-- ) Permanently possessing him?
