"People wander forever looking for answers to those questions. Who am I? I am Topagae. Why am I? I do not know. Why am I the way I am? I also do not know. I do not know why you think finding your memories will answer your questions. But I will help you if I can, if you can, if you promise you'll think about this. There is a distinct possibility that even if you find your memories, they will provide no answers, and only give you more questions. Can you promise that?"
Topagae leaned forward and offered his hand. He wasn't sure how he knew a handshake was the way to go, but he hoped demons did the same.

Aeirn, within his her mind, sifted through these possibilities which could stem from such revelations. Indeed, the possibility of such a scenario happening was quite high, but it was a risk that Aeirn was willing to take.
"Of course. I am willing to do such." Aeirn said. Not being totally ignorant to human gestures from observation, Aeirn took Topagae's hand and conducted a firm handshake.

With a shifty glance around the room Topagae knew that this conversation had been listened to, by many an ear. So he whispered between his teeth.
"Follow me; we're going to somewhere safe to talk. I'll tell you the rest there."
Topagae led the lady back to his quaint apartment. It was only a 10 minute walk, and when Topagae closed his door and pressed some seals to make the room about as soundproof and private and possible he began telling his new friend what he knew.
"When I came here, I came from a wasteland, I wandered here, for what seemed like forever, and after a while, I came into contact with someone who knew where I was when I woke up. Apparently I was in an ancient place, where the palace threw out any trash. Material or personal. I don't remember much about it, but it makes sense. The demons I escaped that were going to devour me stopped chasing me after a while. I presume they are there to clean up anything the palace throws away. I can't imagine the sanitary policies of the palace have changed much over the millennia. And in the slight off chance that your memories weren't simply destroyed by the late king himself, which I hope you realize is a good possibility, considering how dangerous it would be for them if your powers returned, maybe they left these demons to destroy them all those years ago. That's the best lead I can give you."

Aeirn took quick glance at Topagae's apartment it seemed fairly nice and snug, and envied slightly the fact he probably lived on his own.
"Demons that were going to devour you... Hmm... That does seem vaguely familiar. I will take that bit into much consideration. Though... I suppose there does seem to be a little discrepancy on the whole idea of memories being destroyed. Indeed, it wasn't 'simply' destroyed. I suppose the hibernation I was forced into during the sealing caused it due to my biological and psychological clock both stopping simultaneously, but that wouldn't make any logical sense at all..." Aeirn mused.
"Hmm. I thank you for telling me what you know. Thank you again."

Aeirn nodded astutely as if she had the slightest clue on what Topagae had just told her. "I suppose..." she said bluntly. She hid the fact she didn't REALLY get what he had said, this human.

Topagae smiled back. Demons were an interesting bunch, they didn't seem to make up slang too often, hell they didn't talk to many people outside of threats and boasts usually.
"It means you're my friend. You're free to come here and spend some time with me. Talk, let a load off, relax. Or hell, if you need help with anything, I'm here for that too. You might need help finding those lost memories of yours eh?"

"I probably will," Aeirn said with a light chuckle. "I lost a lot of my fighting prowess during the sealing, and I'm a lot weaker than my pure, full strength... which seems a rather scary thing, if you think about it." She trailed on again. Aeirn somehow found it harder to keep "her" secret with Topagae than conversing with others, but Aeirn shrugged this fact away. Aeirn really felt like letting him know that, but on the other hand, it might freak Topagae out. Well, she thought, Honesty is the best policy. "...Um... Mister... Topagae? I have something I need to tell you, but... I don't know if you can take it... It may be a bit surprising, but if I don't tell you know, it might come to bite you in the back later..." Aeirn said.

Topagae's interest was peaked, curiousity got the better of him though, as it does many humans, besides. Topagae was a pretty tolerant guy, he doubted this ladie's secret would harm his opinion of her too much.
"Being a friend means understanding, caring, loving, being there when you need them. Loyalty, honesty, and trust, and ties that bind beyond that of the physical realm. What kind of person would I be if I shirked off an honest confession right after claiming you to be my new friend?"
Topagae smiled wider, she looked so nervous, it was obvious a "Friend" was not something she's ever really had. He was hoping she'd learn something from this.
"Go ahead, I'm all ears."

Aeirn mentally steeled her will. Aeirn also secretly hoped that Topagae was really being honest when he said what he said, and that he was not just talk. She quickly looked left to right to see that no one else would be able to hear, despite Topagae ensuring no outside ears would be pressed into the matter through seals.
"...Alright," Aeirn said. "I'm... not... really a 'lady,'" 'she' continued on. "I'm actually a male, so it feels really awkward hearing you call me... that. Hahaha..." Aeirn said, looking down at the ground. He shrugged. "I hope you're as tolerant as you say you are."
