Yeah. Something like this is plenty sweet enough if you ask me. [And sake is like... barely sweet.]
... I guess not everyone has parents or whoever who'll make sure they don't do anything stupid. Even after Byakuroku died... if I did something stupid Bon would always be there to fix things.
I'm proof of that one. Hephaestus might be alive, but I wouldn't ever call him a father figure, and the whole reason the cops hated me is because I kept running from the foster homes they put me in.
She's the... She was Shinshuu, the holy child of the temple that I played with. It was because she was jealous of me and Byakuroku that she told the priestesses that Byakuroku was trying to corrupt her.
Lili I guess her biological dad was a messed up dude. That made her messed up, too. But Hashita, even if he was just her adoptive dad... I could tell he cared about her the way a father should. He was desperate to save her.

Alright, whatever you say. I like you better like this though - without the feathers.
[ it's weird for a human :/ ]
no subject
Did you still want to try this?
no subject
Why not? It's not like we have anything important to do today.
[ WE ARE STILL WAITING ON BEAR KEYS. ]
You called it sake, right?
no subject
I don't know what people make alcohol out of elsewhere, but sake is made from rice.
[He pours some in a little cup and hands it to Leo.]
no subject
[ taking the cup! at the first sip, he makes a face, but after a moment of consideration, he nods. ]
It's... not bad. This is what you like?
no subject
I don't get this whole illegal stuff. Why should someone else make rules about what people can and can't drink?
no subject
Seems like a bit of an acquired taste, but it explains why you don't like sweets, I guess.

Anyway, it's not bad. I kind of like it.
no subject
[He really is pleased! A simple tree of simple pleasures.]
But... [No, he won't pity Leo over what was in the past.] I'm glad you have people you can rely on now.
no subject
Getting all sappy on me now? [ get it? ] I'm glad too, though - for both of us.
no subject
So we have to win. For the friends we made here and the ones at home. So you can go back and finish fixing Festus and that prophecy.
no subject
[ except not because of plot reasons but still ]
I want to see where you're from once we're done, though. I guess - not Amatsuki, but everything else, at least.

... And Lili.
[Frowning.]
no subject
Who's Lili, though? You never mentioned that one.
no subject
Lili I guess her biological dad was a messed up dude. That made her messed up, too. But Hashita, even if he was just her adoptive dad... I could tell he cared about her the way a father should. He was desperate to save her.
no subject
[ that's going to be an awkward reunion. ]
Are you going to try to talk to her, too, or...?
no subject
[He didn't. He couldn't.]
And I told her what an idiot she was. How lucky she was to have Hashita. So if she hasn't learned her lesson I'll kick her ass again.
no subject
no subject
All of that's completely normal, isn't it??
no subject
[ fond, as he takes another sip of the sake. ]
I know that's how you show affection.
no subject
Not-there's- I kick people's asses for lots of reasons!!!
