.........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?

[carvemyname]

Then you're real clear on how happy you make me.

[superstylishsquid]

Crystal. And, well...don't tell anyone I admitted this, but I was kind of lonely before, too.

[carvemyname]

I could tell.

But I never expected you to say it.

[superstylishsquid]

That's why I said not to tell anyone I did! It's...embarrassing, for a devil to need people to be close to.

[carvemyname]

I know.

I wouldn't tell anyone either way.

[superstylishsquid]

I didn't think you would, 's why I told you. It's something neither of us would admit to anyone we don't trust completely.

[carvemyname]

Trust completely... we've sure come far from the resentment and abandonment of awhile back, huh?

Now I know even more how much I Sucked for that.

[superstylishsquid]

We have, yeah...I'm glad I came home. Not that I don't feel at home with my friends from Movieland, of course, but...

Having things unresolved like that was kinda eating at me. I can't say I wish I'd never left, but I do wish it'd been under better circumstances. Sorry I, uh...thought so lowly enough of you that I didn't think I could just tell you how I felt about being left behind.

[carvemyname]

I mean, I kind of made it easy to think that bad of me? I wasn't always the greatest person.

[superstylishsquid]

Eh, we've both had our moments. The life of a demon kinda encourages selfishness, and while you might've been born in the human world...I got the impression the underworld came to you a lot.

[carvemyname]

Oh, it sure as hell did. Really attacked a lot of people I cared about as a kid.

[superstylishsquid]

Making it feel like weakness to care about other people, since it was just giving your enemies an easy way to hurt you.

[carvemyname]

And everyone else.
