"She's dangerous, and we need to—"
"I know what she is." Rex said in a calm but firm voice, "She's not a threat, so back off, Lily."
Lily looked at him like he had a second head. "What do you mean back off...?!"
"She's a DEMON! They attack us! They tried to destroy the capital! And you're just sitting there with one wrapped around you like—like—" Her voice cracked a little, and he could tell that she was really upset.
