[ you're giving him an excuse to get really overtly cuddly, here, and he is taking it. this is the most openly snuggly angel of death possible. ]
...Okay~ 🎵.
[ a hand briefly leaves him, to snake up to the Genome's chest. there's a sound of... something metal making a loud clink, as it hits the floor.
He'd taken off that spades pendant. ]

[he’s still feeling cranky and recalcitrant over having his feelings kicked like a bruise, but… cuddling… Muffin lets go of angel’s shirt to wrap his arms around him instead.

[ he gives a gentle little 🎵hmmmm~🎵, and isn't going much of anywhere, any time soon.
eventually, though, he murmurs... ]
It's really humiliating that you saw me like that... Wandering around like a stupid doll that needs directing. But even so...
...I wanted to show you I liked how you treated me, before. So I went snooping. But I feel like I understood even less, doing that. Then we started talking, and...
I... hate even more how it feels... when someone gets that look like they're worried for me... like I'm in over my head. I really like angry, better. If I'm only here for a little while, I don't wanna spend it feeling like that.
...At least I'm pretty good at this, right?

I think I still um… The older you and I are still learning to get along in some ways, so um, reading will only help so much… Sometimes he acts more like the younger yous than like you.
But I don’t— want you to feel like I don’t think you’re capable. Don’t want to be angry at you either. Am angry enough at whoever… made you have to kill or perform to survive. Made happiness something you need to sneak around.
[he’s not sure how much of this snuggling is practiced, either. the older one doesn’t like touch like this… But it’s a gift he’ll accept. muffin chirps a small purr.]
…are really good at this though, yeah.

...Fire is fun, but one day you burn it out. And then everything grows better after, right?
One day it's gonna be over.
One day, they'll all be dead. It's all only for a little while. Then, every day after is whatever I please.
That future self of mine better not just waste this. I can already tell. I'd be way better at being a Rose.

Um. But if they're all dead— the Gaians?... Who will you do anything with?
Oh! No, no no no! I'm not killing all the Gaians! They NEED to be alive! What am I going to do sitting around on an empty planet all the time? --If I wanted that, I'd be trying to go back to Terra. Pffft!
Sure, I was made to kill them. But that means their lives are mine to decide what to do with, right?
So, I'm keeping them. ...I just have to kill my Master, first. And... mayyyybe... some other poor souls, here and there, but, you know... I'll be the reason there's a Gaia left at all, one day. I'm a merciful angel after all.
I'm just gonna kill... each and every body that ever made me have to act like their little dog, that's all.

[chirps, oh]
...that kind of revenge is um, outside of my experience. Have blackmailed people?
Am okay with attacking your master though.
[that soul wound was a few hours ago for muffin, he hasn't forgotten]

[ we have many threads already rn but . it is the first night he has the opportunity to keep up his nighttime skype call promises, AND SO:
an angelcube appears, then slowly hovers down to a seated position next to him.
quietly, ]
Still awake?

Can be more profitable. Especially for information.
Oh, good. Still working on keeping track, with these unfamiliar moons.
[ it's a silly excuse, ultimately, but he just wants something to fill the air and say that he's here.
...
shifting blankets noise, as he turns over restlessly. ]
...I supposed I lack much exciting to say. I remember saying so many things to you I'm practically dizzy. Actually, I'm... really...
[ do they make 'sorry for acting extremely deranged/kinda sorta propositioning you at the top of a lighthouse' cards, because at this point there's been occasion for one TWICE]
...
It really did look like a dragon with moogle wings.

[claps a hand over his ear]
Words are fine!
[and. and extended cuddling, apparently. he jumps, but not enough to actually flinch away from angel devil]

[the muffin cube drifts down to land on angie's pillow]
You got in a literal lifetime worth of things with all the ages you went through... Um.
Guess could use dragon to help tell time.

That's true. [ to multiple things. ] ...wouldn't it be terrifying if the stasis of this planet even kept the stars from being seen to turn? Too bad no one was thinking of keeping track when we first got here. But... late's...
Still better than never.
...
You really are... the most trustworthy person I've ever been close to like this. You always surprise me. Every time.
[ his tone's fond, but a little airy. creeping around the edges as he finds the right words to untangle himself. for someone so concerned with image, it really feels... like he'd been cracked down the middle to show both halves. ]

[thinks about biting him, since he doesn’t have a beak to peck, but he’d be into that wouldn’t he]
Giant tower with giant light is not that private.

Could… go stargazing again sometime and find out. Could have another picnic.
[muffin chirps a small string of noises to himself, like he’s picking over his words too. his voice is soft and quiet, but close— he’s curled up around the angelcube in the dark]
The younger yous… were still you. Acted different parts of you and talked about things I didn’t know… but were still you. Wanted to be kind to them.
