And if you were to then throw kidnapping, stolen paintings, bloody battles and even a spot of big green romance into the mix and tell them they'd be involved in it all, they'd begin to think you an idiot, and Emily might even tell you as much. They definitely wouldn't believe in the most terrible and horrifying of all demons, even if he was mentioned in ancient manuscripts in their own world.
