Fine, fine...

[he sighs heavily, there.]

I don't know if I have a type? But the rating curse I had-- I was, uh, rating on attractiveness.

[he gave charles a 10 and charles will never know what the rating was for lmao]

[discomfort]

[ CHARLES THE PERFECT 10 thats valid he is top tier

owner, meanwhile, manages to not laugh. ]

Ah...

[verminous]

So is that good enough for you? I don't know if I could really say, overall.

[he looks like he is contemplating something.]

...no, don't think they've had any standout similarities...

[discomfort]

... personality...?

[verminous]

[squinting at the people he's thinking about]

I don't... think so...?

[discomfort]

[ hmmm... ]

Well, I am not help here.

[verminous]

[well now he's trying to fucking figure it out]

Is there some kind of common link between you, Charles, Arthur, and Io...

[discomfort]

[ owner pretends that gregor didn't mention him in that list. ]

They are intelligent, with a lot of responsibility on their shoulders? Nice hair?

[verminous]

-oh. No, I've got it.

[anyway.]

So what were you gonna say before this came up?

[discomfort]

[ give him a second he's pouting ]

[verminous]

[yeah sure he may pout. he's waiting.]

[discomfort]

[ ugh.

well, he did offer the deal. ]

I will admit that I do not always quite know how to proceed like this. There was a point in trial when Yuri-sama said something about me, and a few people jumped in to defend me-- you included. It was... odd. To witness.

[verminous]

...just not used to people defending you, or do you feel like we were wrong?

[discomfort]

[ hmm...

he takes a small step back. ]

I ate her arm.

[verminous]

-and?

[yeah. just. it's just that.

look, cannibalism is one thing, but can you BE one if you're not human and you eat part of a human?]

[discomfort]

[ ...

he takes a step forward again and leans up to give him a kiss on the cheek. ]

Weirdo.

[ back to walking. ]

[verminous]

-eh?

[what???

sorry he's frozen for a second.]

[discomfort]

[ he walks a couple of steps, but stops once he realizes gregor is not with him. he turns around. ]

Gregor.

[verminous]

S-sorry, sorry, I'm coming-

[he takes a couple quick steps to catch up. hi! he's fine!]

[discomfort]

[ he's fine... well he will start walking again once gregor has caught up. ]

Are you satisfied with my answer?

[verminous]

I don't know if satisfied is exactly the word for just saying you ate one of her limbs, but I feel like that's as much of an answer as you're likely to give me, knowing you?

[does it matter if he's satisfied with it, really...]

[discomfort]

[ there's a smile. ]

I know feelings about me are quite complicated. People have seen memories of mine that are quite grotesque, in the way that they do not paint me in a good light. And that is fine, because it is who I am. I cannot say if I thought anything said was right or wrong, as the way people see me will always be the truth. I am simply a reflection of their thoughts.

[verminous]

[he's quiet for a few seconds.]

...If you're a reflection of our thoughts, then what are you when you're just by yourself?

[discomfort]

... when I look into a mirror, I do not see anything. Just a void.

I hired some painters once. I wanted to know what they saw when they looked at me. One painter tried to make me his, one painter said I was the ugliest thing he had ever seen, and one ran away screaming in terror. But I only saw nothing. That is who I am, Gregor.

[verminous]

No, that's... still a different answer, I feel like.

[he's still walking with him, taking a second to word this.]

That's just about- what people see, or what you see. What anybody sees isn't who you are.
