“Daisuke,” intoned J, his normal rumble slightly wondering. “What is a daemon?”
Daisuke opened his eyes. “Ack,” he said, levering up on his elbows. “That’s a doozy of a question.”
Right up there with ‘Where do babies come from?” Thankfully J had yet to ask that one.
“A ‘doozy’?”
“Let’s stay on daemons,” Daisuke decided, right then. “It’s kinda simple. For a start, that’s one.”
Casielle lay as a great orange ooze by the window. Her body somehow pooled to the exact proportions of her square of light. “That is also resting,” she purred, “Do your own work, Daisuke. It would be an interesting change of pace.”
“Right, right.” Daisuke cracked his shoulder and sat up with a yawn. “Kyoko would be better at this, though. Where is Kyoko?”
“Vacation time,” Casielle answered before J. “Company paid.”
“Huh. Do I get that?”
“No. Your brother says you take enough of it on the job.”
“Dang. Uh. Sorry, J. Where were we?”
“Daisuke is not authorized vacation time,” said J.
