"Triggy-Wiggy!"

The demon lord in question stopped all motion at the sound of that voice. His four eyes began to twitch until he turned around. He greeted her with a forced smile. "Hello, Grandmother-Mae-Eye! What are you doing here?" 'Like I care…'

"Oh, I'm just visiting my favorite grand-son!" Mae-Eye sang the sentence.

Trigon gave a low growl. "I'm your only grandson."

"I know! And you haven't talked to me since…" She stopped, noticing Slade. "Well, hello there! Who's your new servant, Triggy-Wiggy?"

He barely stifled a groan. "His name is Slade."

"Well," she huffed. "He certainly must be famished!" With a wave of her wand, a pie appeared in Slade's hand. She smiled sweetly. "Eat up!"

"Don't eat her pies. For all our sakes," Trigon murmured out of the corner of his mouth.

"Erm…" Slade stuttered. "No thank you, Miss Mae-Eye. I'm not hungry…and I don't think I'll be for a while…"

Mother-Mae-Eye put her hands on her hips. "Are you reviving dead corpses again?"

"Look, grandmother, why can't you just visit my daughter? She really needs to meet more of her family…"

"Oh yes…your daughter…did she have to be a mortal's child?"

"You know the blood of mortals can create extreme power when mixed with the blood of others!"

"Your father," Mae-Eye lectured, "had a half-mortal child. And despite his initial successes, said child quite literally can't seem to get anywhere. He'd be very angry at the job you've done, Trigon."

Trigon growled lowly.

"But…" Mae-Eye continued, "Family is family. I will go see her…and maybe her friends too!" She vanished in a puff of pink.

Slade dropped the pie, which immediately burned to pieces. "Your grandmother?"

"On my father's side." Trigon gave a remarkably human sigh. "She can just be so ANNOYING!"
