( Oh, we're doing something with our hands — Paimon looks down at the demonstration and slowly imitates it, though it does take him a few moments to sort it out. It's not a gesture he's done much of, and it's an odd one, to hold his fingers in and keep them there. But this definitely seems important, he can tell that much from the start. Something is happening here.

Then it reveals itself.... the other's hand makes contact with his own, knuckles to knuckles. A gesture of Literal Connection... and simultaneously of Greeting...

Learning something new is always a big thing for the Demon of Knowledge, and so he's just gazing down at their hands in awed silence for a few moments before he slowly lifts his fist up to try to do it to Robby again. ...And then another, this time lifting both his fists and holding them up expectantly for Robby to bump his against. He may have created a monster with this...

But it's simple yet meaningful, and doesn't require verbal speaking... It's a gesture. He very much likes this. It reminds him of another human gesture he's picked up on— )


There is something called.... hand shake. The hand shake. ( You might possibly have heard of it, Robby! ) This is not the hand shake. But it is.... almost.
