Potentially without shrimp? The horror! [Tessa manages a brief flicker of a smile at that. But she nods, her expression slightly more serious, at the mention of different dimensions being hellish.] In my experience, most other dimensions are usually hellish, in one way or another. Usually in all ways, just to keep people on their toes.
[And depending on which demon, usually a Greater Demon, was feeling in a particularly world conquering mood.
The young woman brightens at the mention of faeries, and Tessa can't help but enjoy her enthusiasm.] Indeed. Of all kinds - sprites, merfolk, faerie knights, and all of the rest. They are a diverse and unique bunch, in all shapes and sizes. Some are human sized while others are no larger than thimbles. But I wouldn't recommend seeking them out for answers or for food; they can't lie but they do enjoy telling truths in a way that best suits their own amusements. And their food, well.
[And here Tessa flushes slightly, even though the memory of which she refers to is over a century ago now. She still remembers it as though it were yesterday, though.] Let's just say that some faerie drinks can lower one's inhibitions and lead to rather exciting compromising positions on balconies at parties.
[She certainly will never forget Benedict Lightwood's fateful party that night.
She laughs at the young woman's description. She's spot on, remarkably so.] Yes, exactly! And they all act as though they are the first genius to come up with such a brilliant and unique plan. It would be almost adorable if it weren't so exhausting.
[She arches an eyebrow at the young woman asking if she's the one to have to stop them.] That obvious, huh? I help out where I can, yes. I've fought my fair share of demons and the like over the years.
[Tessa offers her a sympathetic expression as she turns to fully face her.] I'm sorry to hear that. That's frustrating, to think you've escaped only to be pulled back.
[She unfortunately knows this from experience herself.]
