So now that introductions were out of the way, Sapphire could focus more on the assistance of this Deus and less on the fact that all she had to call him thus far was 'Demon' or 'Half-Demon'. And it worked even better that he knew who the Titans were, though in this city who hadn't?
"Don't thank me yet, Deus," She tested the name out, made sure she'd remember it (she read somewhere saying a name helped you to remember it.) "I haven't done anything for you to be thankful for." She reminded him harshly. She wasn't trying to crush his hope, more like she didn't want him expecting too much and then grow angry when she couldn't provide it. She was a hero, not a miracle worker. And his rage was not something that the city would be able to recover from. He needed to know his limitations, and hers as well.
It was the only way they'd both make it out alive, not that the fireball was truly aware of that. Not yet, anyway.
ooc: author allusion to Disgaia as well as short post :C
The taller man gave a small warm smile to Sapphire, even though her tone was harsh and abrasive. The smaller woman before him had no idea how honest his smile was. "You've already done more then almost everyone else, you want to try and help." The small smile grew slightly. "So yeah, I already have a lot to thank you for. You've done more for me then anyone else has in the last... Eleven years? Yeah, eleven. So this is a bit of a big deal for me here" He chuckled lightly as he rubbed at the back of his head with his metal gauntlet.
"So..... Before we do this, we should get to know each other bit better right? At least that's how I think it goes." Social interaction was definitely his forte, but it was a good idea. Get to know each other, trust each other all that good stuff.
Besides, she was kinda cute.
He was taking a chance here, she could be just like the others. Lying to his face in order to use him. But it was a chance worth taking. An actual shot at possible redemption for his actions was not something to pass up lightly on.
And it wasn't like he had much to lose on this gamble either.
The appreciation was flattering or refreshing. Finally, her efforts to save people was actually being realized. It wasn't like she was actively looking for the recognition, but it was nice to have some. "I-" She didn't know how to answer him. She didn't want to brag, but she didn't want to push the gratitude aside, it did feel good. "it's just my job, as a Titan."
She gave a small, reassuring smile as the half-demon sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. This was actually kind of a sweet moment, even to the jaded firewielder (though she would never actually admit that). "I'm not really good at the whole social thing myself. But that doesn't have to stop us from trying." She'd become much more open to having friends.
"So, what brings you to the city?" That was an easy enough question to ask. Did he have a purpose or was he just travelling and stumbled upon the superhero city.
What brought him to the city? Running, hiding, seeking revenge, there were a plethora of reasons that he had come to Jump. But mostly, there was one reason that he had come.
"Thought it was about time I came out of my cave as it were. Been away from people for five years, figured it was time to try and socialize again. As for that episode I had that you came across." His entire demeanor darkened, much like Robin whenever Slade was brought up. He had gone from somewhat cheerful to a much darker and somewhat angry giant. "I had met someone, and they offered me some work. Turned out they only wanted to use me like a tool or a weapon.... I don't like being used..." The sand immediately below his feet hardened, becoming as solid as stone before he took a few calming breaths. It took a few seconds before the giant man returned to his former demeanor. "S-sorry about that...."
A few moments of awkward silence filled the air before he spoke again. "And that's actually another reason I came here, I needed to do something And well I figured maybe make a few statues and sell them to people that want them. Maybe eat something that isn't tree bark and roots...." The half-demon thought the bit about food had been in his head, but he had actually spoken it aloud.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
