Duma by now was back to looking impassive, even slightly sad but he was quite impressed that the "demon" hadn't been as shocked as he was to be in a new and wholly different place. Duma would readily admit he took things harder than most did, but some degree of shock would have been nice to see.
The purpose of this place has not been told to me - and I don't believe there is any purpose to bringing so many creations into one city. You may find here enough jewels that you could not possibly carry them, but returning them to your lands may prove difficult.
Duma looked slightly hurt as the bird-creature laughed at him. It wasn't of any particular matter, but there was a point that being told you were merely a lie to make children behave got very wearing. Humans underestimate the complexity of angels and the viciousness of demons. I used the term as a name, not a description. I am Duma, Guardian of Silence.
Duma reached out to very gently touch the elbow of the bird-creature. I have a place you could rest, not far from here. If you do not wish to fly, we may walk.
