I apologize. [they do not sound particularly sorry? but it's fine, they're trying still. at the mention of the hood, they pause again and shift their weight from one foot to the other, pulling the sleeve of their cloak over their hands a bit as if to cover the cracking skin and black claws.]
The hoods seemed rather fitting. I don't anticipate removing it anytime soon.
How we look under the hoods should be of no concern. [whether they mean to the players or to themselves, greed doesn't clarify. though if mineo's looking he'll get to see the glint of a purple-eyed glare.]
...all the same, that hasn't stopped you from speaking with Sloth, has it?
[greed has decided they actually hate everyone on this base.]
I will not, but thank you. [...but they do take their ramen back because it's theirs.] Perhaps you should focus your energy on your own plights instead?
Yes and no. [mineo isn't under their alignment and yet he's apparently pathetic enough that greed will offer advice anyhow.] While the sloth aspect is one of apathy, laziness, and a lack of will and motivation, stagnation and repetition will cause you to fall behind the others. You are all here for the same thing. Why shouldn't the prize go to one who puts forth an effort using everything they have rather than simply going through the motions?
but he looks thoughtful about that. it makes some kind of sense to him. sure, drag his feet about some stuff - but enough stuff that it's clear that he still wants something.]
.... but it's not just one, right? It can be multiple? So Takeru and I aren't in competition with each other or anything.

...I don't think my age matters in this situation. I've answered what you need to know.
no subject
Do you not like talking about yourself?
no subject
...I'm not very good at small talk. [or, more like, they usually don't have the patience for it but an attempt is being made.]
no subject
[don't just say it
but! the attempt is being made so mineo just laughs a little]
But you're not doing a bad job or anything. I'm just curious about you since you've all got the big mystery hood thing going on.
no subject

no subject
[he wasn't actually mad or anything - but then again he's friends with takeru so. he just tilts his head.]
... self-conscious about what's underneath? You probably don't look any weirder than anybody else around, I figure.
no subject
...all the same, that hasn't stopped you from speaking with Sloth, has it?
no subject
No... why would it?
no subject
...and the others of your alignment? Have you spoken to them?
no subject
[he and gojou are just useless discussing stars. very good sloths.]
But the hoods aren't super bad... You're not totally anonymous, only kinda. When do you get to take them off?
no subject
[anyway that question gets another pause they're here eating their ramen. the hoods...?]
As for the hoods, we could remove them whenever we want to. [...
...yeah.]
no subject
Are you shy....?
no subject
no subject
[and he just puts aside the ramen bowl and grins]
Come on, let me see you, claws and all! It probably looks super cool!
no subject
no subject
I'm not gonna charge at you or anything - come on, I'm not that kind of guy!
no subject
Yes. Of course. [god.] ...some of the other Avatars may be more willing to expose themselves if you ask.
no subject
Okay.
[he shrugs]
Well, if you change your mind, I'm here for you.
[WHY IS HE TALKING LIKE HE'S THE ONE CONSOLING GREED]
no subject
I will not, but thank you. [...but they do take their ramen back because it's theirs.] Perhaps you should focus your energy on your own plights instead?
[mineo? your secrets?]
no subject
It's more slothful if I don't, right...
[like if he just
fucking ignores all his problems
again
won't that earn him points?]
no subject
...to properly indulge, you must change your strategy every now and then as to not stagnate.
no subject
grumbles]
Aren't I supposed to stagnate....
[though
even with that... he shifts his weight a bit. like he personally isn't comfortable with the idea after all]
no subject
