"Oh no, it happens a lot. Awakened in general are kinda rare, but when they're known about, people try and pull them over to one side or the other as quick as possible before they do something stupid or go batshit because they think they're crazy," she explained as she finished off her a la carte pieces and picked a few bits from the rolls.
"Lots of doped up schizophrenics are just awakened humans that others who aren't awakened have taken it upon themselves to "fix". Kinda why demons don't trust modern medicine for shit. Humans tend to have no idea what they're doing."
Pausing to refill her tea, she considered a point and shrugged to herself.
"People might be awakened, but don't know what they're seeing isn't a hallucination or something. With blind awakened, they lack the normal sight that prevents them from "seeing", you know? So because demon glamours don't work on them, all the other senses are free to pick everything up unhindered. But of course they aren't gonna know some benevolent spirit has been in residence in the house for decades or a curious fae wanted to see what they were cooking or what have you," she mused, turning a slice from one of the rolls over in the sauce left on her plate.
"Most demons tend to be insular and cautious, but they can be pretty bad about boundaries when they're sure no one can see or feel them. Its hard to tell the difference between a kind, curious demon and a malign spirit when both of them are prone to home invasion and you're fuckin' legitimately blind, to boot."
