Hannah stared up at the trees a moment where the man had been watching, though as she looked back at the defeated demon on the ground she folded her arms, frowning at the figure,
"Hunter... Scout..? Not likely.. Too strong.. Assassin..?" She pondered her own words. While they were few, it was a quick assessment, at least of what she thought. He was fast, skilled, strong and durable. His perception needed some work, however, he hadn't been able to catch sight of her until the last second the first time around. He had been focused. Focused on... Who..? She glanced at Emma, frowning a little, "Target..?" This placed some chills in the giant woman's spine. Some-one was sending an assassin after Emma?

"Ewww, an assassin? He's just another demon like us but he's strong, like.. I totally shoulda ripped him up and burned him to a crisp but he isn't even burning anymore." Penny sniffed int he direction of the body, though she giggled a little as he floated into the air. Hannah closed in on the body and plucked it out of the air, hauling it over her shoulder and staring at Emma, she was going to exhaust herself further if she pushed herself like that. Penny meanwhile had scrambled over to where the rest of the fallen berries were, rapidly tossing them back into the basket as she picked and tossed them one by one,
"Well he looks whole, so probably you got half his essence, he got so weak that Hannah lamped him in one hit, pow!" She sat up straight and swung a fist through the air, "It's like.. Uhm.. The..-" She paused a moment, a nervous look on her face, "The old stories.. Of how demons from other worlds lost their powers and all that left was their bodies and minds. Because the mana channels fed them power they gathered in their nethers and worlds. It's sorta like that. He's still a demon, but you've cut him off from most of his power." She explained this all fairly quickly, as was her typical nature, but there was a brief pause after she'd mentioned nethers and worlds.

Hannah looked aside at the figure she had on her shoulder, then at Emma. Like Penny had said, he was a standard demon. The human term for them literally was Humanoid. There were different races of demons, dragons, zombies, spirits and many other creatures, but all typically followed the same principles of demon behavior. Do what you enjoy, do what's fun, if you're strong; try to conquer, have more fun.
Penny had explained this to Emma once before, about the various types of demons. But the humanoid ones were usually the most unpredictable, because there was usually no way of telling what they specialized in unless they made it glaringly obvious, like Hannah and Penny. Penny had once said Angels were the same as humanoid demons. But then retracted that statement and followed swiftly with 'More like unfun-meany-angry-people-with-sticks-up-their-backsides'.

Penny stood up straight once the berries had been fully gathered and bounced around the trees happily, giggling to herself, though she never strayed too far, like a loyal puppy. She kept looking towards the unconscious demon but then back at Emma,
"So-so-so we're gonna have pie, right? Right? And and what? What're we eating?" She questioned. Hannah walked closer to Emma at first, but thens he reached down to the girl and lifted her too, making sure to be gentler so that she kept hold of her basket before depositing her master on her opposite shoulder. She knew the way back and Emma could rest on the way. After all, normally it was her carrying them. Of course trying to keep Penny in one place was almost impossible, but Hannah didn't worry about her.
