That was the most important thing for the time being, no matter what else he eventually became. He needed to engender good will now, while he had some momentum going that way. Otherwise he'd keep hitting road blocks, and it would just die, leaving him alone and standing in place, with who knew how many hostile creatures coming for him.
With that thought, he left, going through the front, using his shortcuts, and not really knowing how he was supposed to get floor space at Westfield. Hopefully he had enough friends left there that someone would help him with it. If not...
Then he'd figure it out.
If what he'd heard was correct, that was actually supposed to be what Greater Demons were good at.
Putting on a smile, in case anyone saw him, he crossed the street, then looking through carefully first, stepped into the Mall parking lot, to get his new life going for real. It would be hard, and take time, but he could do it. Now.
He hoped.
Taking a moment, he fixed that to something more certain, using a bit of magic and some concentration.
Then he knew he could do it, and went in.
