Safely inside his new pod for the evening, Damien pulled the IMBA set on, closed his eyes and opened them again within his base.

A portal appeared on either side of him and the wraith and two hell hounds he’d declined to bind to his Soul Well emerged from two separate portals to greet him. The imps chattered at each other excitedly, glad to see their master had returned.

All except one.

“Where have you been, Mr. ‘I’ll be back in a little while’? What time do you call this?”

Damien wasn’t actually sure. He hadn’t been keeping track. He opened his menu and let out a low whistle. 17:43. He’d been on his feet for the better part of five hours.

“Hey! Don’t open your menu when I’m talking to you! That’s just rude.”

Damien closed the menu again and looked down to find Noigel with his arms folded, tapping his foot impatiently. This was the second time Noigel had mentioned the menu. Very interesting.

Still, it could wait until after he’d put his base-building back on track. His Demon forge had been completed and the imps had even dragged the equipment due for smelting next to it. Damien ignored Noigel and pointed instead at the forge.

“Imps, take all the equipment to the forge and smelt it down. Leave the materials next to the forge and tell me when you’re done.”

Noigel grunted and sullenly stalked away to carry out the command. At least he was still obedient, even if he’d turned into a complete smartass. Damien decided the rest of the imps could manage without him for a minute or two.

“Not you, Noigel. Come with me. We’re going to have a little chat.”

Damien led Noigel up the stairs of the Gateway. From there, he’d have a good view of the forge. Noigel flew to the top and was once again tapping his foot by the time Damien made it there himself. The imp glanced at his bare wrist before looking up and shaking his head in mock disgust, a smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Damien reached the top and folded his arms, looking down at him.

“So, you wanted to talk. Here’s your chance. What do you want to talk about?”

“Why, I want to talk about me, of course! You’ve been neglecting me over the last couple of days. We should have done this a while ago. Fortunately for you, I’m a very patient imp.”

Damien pinched the bridge of his nose. Noigel was even more conceited than he’d imagined. The imp’s increased intelligence had made him go from irritating to almost unbearable. It had also inflicted a number of changes on the way he presented himself. Noigel was no longer a knuckle dragger, instead standing fully upright like a human being. The nasal quality of his voice had also diminished almost to nothing, although it was still a bit squeaky around the edges.

“My bad, but if you haven’t noticed I’ve been a little busy lately. You serve me, not the other way around.
