“Tighe took control of his thoughts.
“You need to use the bathroom. When I tell you to, go into the house. Two cats will try to come
in with you. You must let them in. Don’t allow anyone to stop them. Once inside the house, you’ll
go into the bathroom and close the door, pull down your pants, then curl up on the floor and go to
sleep.”
The bastard’s career would be over when they caught him, literally, with his pants down. But he
deserved it for kicking a cat.”
― Pamela Palmer, Obsession Untamed

No! (Zarek/Astrid)
No? I don’t like that word. (Simi)
We love you, Simi. We’re just scared of your goo. (Astrid)
Oh, that I understand. Okay, you can live. (Simi)”

“Look! You got sparklies like akri. He gives all of his to me. He say I look beautiful in sparklies, ‘specially them red ones that match my eyes. Here, Astrid. I know you can’t see it, Astrid, but it’s very lovely, like you. You need to wear that and then you have sparklies, too. But still no hornays. We need to fix you up with hornays one day so you can be a demon, too. It’s fun being a demon – except when people try to exercise you…Wait, that’s not the right word. I forget, but you know what I mean. (Simi)”

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“So, can I eat the redheaded goddess now? (Simi)
No, Simi. (Acheron)
I want to eat her, akri, She a mean person. (Simi)
Most gods are. (Acheron)
No they’re not. Some, true, but I rather like the Atlanteans. They were very nice. Most of them. You never met Archon, did you? (Simi)
No. (Acheron)
Now, he could be mean. He was blond, like you, tall like you, well, taller than you, and good-looking like you, but not quite as good-looking as you. I don’t think anyone is as good-looking as you are. Not even them gods. You are definitely one of a kind when it comes to looks…Oh. Well, you’re not really one of a kind, are you? But you cuter than that other one. He a bad copy of you. He only wishes he was as cute as you are. Now where was I going with that? Oh, I remember now. Archon didn’t like a lot of people, unlike you. You know that thing you do whenever you get really, really mad? The one where you can blow stuff up and make it all fiery and chunky and messy and all? He could do that too only not with as much finesse as you. You got a lot of finesse, akri. More than most. But I digress, Archon liked me. He said, ‘Simi, you a quality demon.’ Have you ever seen a non-quality demon, though? That’s what I wanna know. (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“The Simi has needs. Lots of needs. I need akri’s plastic card, for one thing. It very nice. People give me lots of stuff when I hand it to them. Ooo, I really like the new plastic card he gave me with my own name on it. It blue and all sparkly and it says Simi Parthenopaeus. Doesn’t that have a nice ring to it? I have to say it again. Simi Parthenopaeus. I like that a lot. It even has my picture in the corner and I am a very attractive demon if I do say so myself. Akri says it, too. ‘Simi, you are beautiful.’ I like it when he tells me that. (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“Why did Acheron tell you not to talk to Zarek? (Astrid)
I don’t know. That redheaded bitch-goddess got all angry when he told me to come protect you. It went like this. (She flashed to Acheron’s form.) Protect Zarek and Astrid. Now. (She flashed to Artemis’s form.) No! You can’t let her go, she’ll tell Zarek everything. (Simi, looking like Artemis, put her hand against her cheek and whispered loudly to Astrid.) This the part where the redheaded goddess went on and on about what happened in Zarek’s village and akri got all upset at her. Don’t know why he won’t let me kill her and get it over with, but finally he say…(She flashed to Acheron’s form.) Simi, don’t speak to Zarek but make sure Thanatos doesn’t kill either one of them. (She flashed into her own form.) So I said okay and here I am not talking to Zarek. (Simi)
Wow. She’s a camcorder, too. How convenient. (Zarek)”

Sure you were. Why don’t you cover me in shit and tell me it’s mud while you’re at it? (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“I would like to barbecue those Olympian gods. They are very tasty. One day, I’m going to eat that redheaded goddess, too. (Simi)
She doesn’t like Artemis. (Astrid)
The Simi hates her, but akri says, ‘No, Simi, you can’t kill Artemis. Behave, Simi, don’t shoot fire at her, don’t make her bald, Simi.’ No, no, no. It’s all I hear. I don’t like that word. ‘No.’ It even sounds evil. The Simi tends to barbecue anyone dumb enough to say it to her. But not akri. He’s allowed to say no to me; I just don’t like it when he does. (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“Simi, why did Acheron send you here? (Astrid)
To protect you from Thanatos so that your sisters don’t get all freaky and destroy the world. Or something like that. I don’t know why all of you fear the end of the world. It’s not so bad, really. At least then akri’s mama be free. Then she wouldn’t be so cranky at the Simi all the time. (Simi)
Ash’s mother is still alive? (Zarek)
Oh, akri get mad whenever I tell that. Bad Simi. I not talk anymore. I need food. (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“Akri hides from no one. He don’t need to. Anyone hurt my akri, I eat them. (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

“No, Simi. No food. (Astrid)
‘No, Simi. No food.’ You sound like akri. ‘Don’t eat that, Simi, you’ll cause an ecological disaster.’ What is an ecological disaster, that’s what I want to know? Akri says it’s me on hunger binge, but I don’t think that’s quite right, but that’s all he’ll say about it. (Simi)”
