She'd heard a saying once. 'Give an inch, lose a mile.' Or something like that. The young demon couldn't shake the feeling that compromising might might be the best idea but she couldn't help but feel bad for him.

"That's not up for negotiation," she frowned at him. "You don't get to give me orders."
