Ko slouch-walks over to the counter. "Uhm, I am Koschei." Ocular dilation, that's weird. It could be a result of the parasite. "I am married to this totally normal human friend of yours." They extends their hand in the customary human gesture, and right before she grabs it adds: "Oh, and you will obey me."
They cannot trust the parasite to tell them the truth, so if they bypass the consciousness of this human girl, it should all go more smoothly.
