"I'm your knight in shining armor." The imp says while pointing a thumb at her puffed out chest. You just stare incredulously at her - the only particularly shiny thing on her body is a collection of golden jewelry adorning her. Some of them almost look like chains or bindings, although at least they provide some semblance of clothing. She seems to recognize your lack of enthusiasm and reacts indignantly.
"I'll have you know my boss is a very big deal!" Her statement is followed by something she mutters under her breath.
"Didn't catch that second part." The imp's eye twitches at your comment.
"Look, my boss wants to help you and get you out of here - which I guarantee is the opposite of what everything else down here wants with you."
"I don't...why am I so important? Why the special attention?" The imp groans as she slaps her forehead with an open hand.
"Take a look at your chest girlie."
You look down and gasp in shock. There's...something lodged in your chest. No, 'lodged' is the wrong word. Right around your sternum your flesh gives way to very familiar looking metal, with a glowing red crystal roughly in the middle of it.
"What..." Is all you can manage to say as you touch the metal. The imp chuckles to herself.
"You want the long version or the short version?"
