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?

[superstylishsquid]

Uh...how some people think cilantro tastes like citrus, but others think it tastes like soap?

[carvemyname]

It tastes like soap! Anyone who says otherwise is lying!

[superstylishsquid]

Olives are a bit like that. Something in them is offensive to demonic senses, but some of us are more sensitive to it than others.

[carvemyname]

Okay, but you're like.... way more demon than I am.

[superstylishsquid]

Sure, but we're different varieties of demon. For one thing...my 'family' was mainly around the Mediterranean when we were on the human side of thing.

[carvemyname]

What kind of demon am I, anyway? All I really know is we can purr.

[superstylishsquid]

Well...I know Sparda was mostly insectoid. He had multiple types of wings, though, and it looks like yours are mostly similar to his upper set.

I never heard of him having any elemental leaning. He was known for his swordsmanship before anything else.

[carvemyname]

...purring.... insectoid... oh god am I a cockroach.

[superstylishsquid]

Might be...but if it helps, it doesn't seem like you've inherited many insect traits beyond having multiple pairs of wings.

[carvemyname]

And the purring. Which is mostly annoying, because it tips people off when I'm really into something.

...have you heard it yet?

[superstylishsquid]

Think I have, yeah. Not that I need it...empath, remember?
