I've wanted nothing more my entire life than to be close to someone. But it hurts.

[superstylishsquid]

Yeah. 'S why I find it easier to get close to people who can handle things if they get rough.

Especially with the underworld hating both of us, right?

[carvemyname]

I don't have to worry with you.

I don't think.

[superstylishsquid]

Nah. As long as I keep my original sword safe, I'll be fine even if something somehow manages to mess this body up more than I can heal.

[carvemyname]

Promise me.

[superstylishsquid]

I promise, I'm not going down easy, and even if I do? My soul is anchored to my Devil Arm, I'll be fine.

[carvemyname]

Okay, because - there's a lot of things I want to do with you. I'm not going to be done with you ever.

[superstylishsquid]

Ever, huh? To-do list that long now, or do you just keep adding to it?

[carvemyname]

Some of what I want takes decades to fulfill.

[superstylishsquid]

You mean the part where we both want to raise a child?

[carvemyname]

You didn't forget that, huh?

I think you'd make a great parent. And I am kind of getting old.

[superstylishsquid]

Well...I do like to think I'm good with kids.

You're really not that old by devil standards though, you know.

[carvemyname]

I feel old.

But maybe that's my habits. And I think I can take care of a kid?

[superstylishsquid]

That's probably the habits, yeah. Half-demon or not, I think your human half would appreciate some more green in your diet.

[carvemyname]

That's it, no more pizza.

Mostly.

Occasionally.

[superstylishsquid]

How about some spinach on that pizza, instead of just ham?

[carvemyname]

...is it as gross as olives?

[ He's suspicious of anything green on a pizza. ]

[superstylishsquid]

Olives aren't that bad.

[Then again, he was kind of surrounded by them for some centuries there?]

But it's less bitter, if that's your problem with them.

[carvemyname]

I don't know my problem. They're just, ugh.

[ He shudders. ]

[superstylishsquid]

I can at least say spinach and olives don't taste anything alike.

[carvemyname]

That's good. Olives are abominations. Nothing should taste like them.

[superstylishsquid]

I wonder if you're just more sensitive to demon repellents than I am. The oil of olives can be unpleasant to demons, just not usually enough to be outright offensive unless it's actively blessed or mixed with other things that bother us.

[carvemyname]

...

So I'm allergic?

[superstylishsquid]

Not quite allergic, but...

You know how people can't seem to agree on what licorice tastes like?

[carvemyname]

.........no?
