Prompt: 035, D’Hoffryn


It’s all politics

“Never go for the kill when you can go for the pain.” He’d watched closely and been extremely pleased at the results of his actions and words. Anyanka had been rightly horrified, the others impressed and, at the end of a busy day, Halfrek was gone for good.
D’Hoffryn went home, well satisfied with his day’s work. Having demons around who were eager for him to retire so they could take over his position made him irritable and prone to making bad decisions. In-fighting for promotion – he sighed. It was the curse of the modern world.

Hee very black comedy drawn from stunning moment in Season 7 - I love the idea that politics exists in the demonic world too :)

Great one.

I felt quite certain that they did!

Oh. I like that. It wasn't just about hurting Anya, it was about getting rid of Halfrek too. That explains a lot.

Now there's a good politician, getting the job done to his advantage and getting rid of the competition at the same time!
