[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.

<sub>[ he gives a gentle little 🎵hmmmm~🎵, and isn't going much of anywhere, any time soon.

eventually, though, he murmurs... ]</sub>

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?

[electricflock]

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.

[finalbows]

...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.

[electricflock]

Um. But if they're all dead— the Gaians?... Who will you do anything with?

[finalbows]

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.

[electricflock]

[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]

[finalbows]

Blackmail is fun! Sometimes it's easier than just getting rid of someone, right? Especially if the one that'll move in after will be a whole new problem.

[electricflock]

Can be more profitable. Especially for information.

[finalbows]

...and killing gets pretty boring, anyway.

Hee, hee. No wonder I like you~.

[electricflock]

Um. Thank you?

[finalbows]

<sub>[ said very close to the shell of his ear, ]

I know how to say it with more than just words, too.</sub>

[electricflock]

[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]

[finalbows]

If the gentleman insists.

[electricflock]

He insists, thank you.

[finalbows]

_{[ in a very amused voice, ]}
Okay. The privacy's nice for just talking, too, anyway.

[electricflock]

[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.

[finalbows]

_{[ that heeheehee might just be timely, or it's the universe confirming muffin's suspicion. ]}

Well, the light's not on now, right? And you'd hear steps on the stairs. To the whole world, at best, we're just a couple of silhouettes. Unless there's somr people around here with REALLY keen eyes...

Huh. I actually hadn't thought about that. Are there?

[electricflock]

Are very recognizable silhouettes.

[lifts and lowers his hand to illustrate the height difference between them. bro you're like the tallest guy in the pasture.]

And um, might be some people who could tell.

[he wouldn't want tart to see, which must mean that tart is entirely capable of seeing that far]

[finalbows]

Oh. The demon's moving closer to town...

Re: 3/3

She is…

That probably means my time is almost up. ...My tokens are already in. Are yours?
