The demon slowly floats down, staying about a yard or so above the floor. She does a floating circuit around the room, and then opens the toolbox, shuts it, and then goes over to the cabinet and repeats the process.
She then floats back up and says, “I dunno. Didn’t see anything worthwhile.”
“Well what DID you see?” Ruby says, who was keeping watch while the demon searched.
“Uh… Tools, and stuff? I dunno. Pony things.” Pip says with a shrug.
Emerald sighs, and then asks the demon if it would be possible to carry him down and let him search. Pip says it should be no problem, and they both descend.
Opening the toolbox he sees a bunch of tools just like Pip said. However what she didn’t mention was that most of them were rather clean, and smelled heavily of disinfectant. Emerald could still see some blood on the handles of the tools though.
He next asks Pip to take him over to the cabinets, and inside they find what appear to be dossiers on what Emerald assumes are the ponies that have been here. He’s a bout to go through them, and leans forward.
At that moment Emerald feels the hooves supporting him let go, and the colt lands cat-like on all fours. He then looks up at the demon angrily.
“Whoops! Sorry, I got butterhooves really bad! But don’t worry, I’ll defend you from anyone who comes!” Pip says giggling and puffing her chest.
“…And take the souls of anyone you kill?” Ruby says, her face popping in from the hole above.
“Well… I mean, it’s better than them going to waste right?” Pip says with a grin up at the foal.
“You know, we might still be able to get away. We might even be able to hide and follow them once they give up and track them.” Ruby says.
“What! We can’t do that!” Pip says suddenly.
