[his shoulders are kind of cold even through the fabric of the coat, but otherwise he does nothing to stop this as usual. mostly because he's taking a moment to think that one over solely to make sure the answer is phrased right.]
More than fine, yes. [may as well be honest.] I know how to keep myself safe when I need to.
[ They are not looking each other, but there is the feeling of doubt because... Cold-hearted? Mister "I Want to Help People Who Were Wronged for Doing Right?" Mister being a little happy from a peck?
Yes, yes alright. Subjective though it may be that doesn't change the past headlines. [it really is like massaging a block of ice because he's cold and also tense. but he's not uncomfortable with this so gojou can do whatever.]
When I first started in my career, I did just about anything to get the verdict I wanted. Even some things that may or may not have been questionable. I've always thought demon was a bit extreme but...perhaps not.
[ Good thing Gojou physically trains, so he will try to work on those ice blocks. ]
Wow. No one tried to attack you? People with reputations paint a target on their back! [ Hm. ] Okay, tell me who you think is deserving of the most judgment in the station.
[ tell him......... santa greed's naughty rankings. ]
[on the one hand, this is stupid. on the other hand, it kind of feels nice and he's still selfish sometimes so. it also means he's more prone to answering since it's vaguely (?) relaxing.]
I never said that either. [the tone is light but there's a very sudden jolt of something like regret and exhaustion that immediately dissipates.]
Several of them have already passed. [he's 100% not impressed with like 90% of the graveyard.] Of the living, however...Leclerc. Gu Yun. Sometimes I question Enomoto's priorities. Tealeaf. [except there's some sense of fondness with mineo and molly (moreso with the latter) than with the other two.]
Though on occasion some of you surprise me. [smashcut to half the base eating mystery chastity cake like 24 hours later.]
[ Just talking is good, Greed? Sometimes gossiping can be fun. Is it even gossiping when Gojou can guess all of these people's crimes just based on the type of people they are? And some of them are going to confess on Wednesday. He snorts. ]
Yeahhh, some of our brains just shut off. I guess I should be glad I didn't make it on the list! [ hehe. still massaging ice knots out. ] What was that earlier?
[he is in fact on the nice list for now which is why greed's response is to kiss him instead to distract him from the question? that is absolutely the best idea.]
[ Yes, Gojou will ignore it in case Greed wants to throw shoes at him again. He opens his mouth, ready to say what comes to mind first, but stops because for once he's thinking. ]
How would you describe your character development? Positive?
[even if it's not completely correct and even if it's two different situations, he gets the point in general and he nods slowly.]
I suppose we are more similar than I anticipated then. [there's definitely curiosity because, like, of course he wants to know. he wants to fully understand this thing gojou's labeled a disaster but also it feels sort of shitty to dredge that up unprompted. instead of asking though he stays quiet and seems to be thinking things over.]

Then I'll take my offer back for your safety. Kisses are fine, right?
no subject
More than fine, yes. [may as well be honest.] I know how to keep myself safe when I need to.
no subject
That's good to hear! Stay safe.
[ Peck to the back of the head. ]
So what's with the chill? Was it something you got to pick, was it random, or was it somehow related to you personally?
no subject
None of our changes were things we asked for or chose for ourselves, no. I can only guess it's meant to represent being cold-hearted.
[as greedy people are, for example.]
no subject
Cold-hearted? Silence. ]

You’ve been nice to me so faaaaar, good sir. Demon Attorney does make it sound like you’re scary in the courtroom.

[ Hmm. Greed feelings. A SHOCK OF REGRET? ]
no subject
You're on a whole separate list. [shut up, greed. but he raises an eyebrow.] What was what, exactly?
no subject
[ He gets presents from Santa (incorrect). ]
There was this fizzle of regret. I'm sure.
no subject
Does it matter?
no subject
Was that supposed to distract me? [ Squints at him. Suspicious!! ] I guess it doesn't matter since it doesn't look like you'll spiral.
no subject
...it was all a few years ago. But you're right. I don't spiral. [not in front of people, anyway, and that's pretty indicative in his emotions, too.]
no subject
A few years ago is kind of fresh. [ He hums. ] We're similar!
no subject
How do you figure? [no denying it, just wondering. gojou's perspective is likely different.]
no subject
How would you describe your character development? Positive?
[ He just needs this answer first. ]
no subject
Mostly positive. Some negatives. Depending on what your idea of positive is.
no subject
[ Maybe... This is not completely correct, but Gojou is thinking in general. However. Situations sure are different. ]
no subject
I suppose we are more similar than I anticipated then.

Does that surprise you at all?
no subject
[ Really. Bless emotionshare week. ]
... Hm. Not really, but not everyone is made the same. I would have said it doesn't surprise me if you developed negatively, too.
