Does anyone like being angry? Honestly, despair is a more comforting emotion, somehow, and that's despair.

[probe]

[they pause, tilting their head back for a moment.]

Hah. Yeah. Despair is a comfort, huh.

[commedia]

Indeed. Its easy to let yourself believe everything is going to go wrong than feel the heat of anger. Wrath will always burn out after too long, or it will burn one up with it.

Its a dangerous, dangerous sort of emotion. And yet, it also pushes people to go beyond their limits! So helpful indeed, too.

[probe]

[hmm. they seem to think that one over for a while.]

Well. I know what it's like to burn out, so maybe I can just let despair catch me for a bit.

[commedia]

Well, Despair seems big and strong enough to hold you in their arms, so maybe it isn't so bad. Ahahaha.

[probe]

[that seems to startle them. something flicks under their hood.]

What? Ew, gross.

[commedia]

Gross? Despair's gross? How come?

[probe]

[smoke comes from under the hood.]

They just are! Wow, have you met them? Pretentious purple prose nerdlord.

[commedia]

Oh, I don't know, I think they're a nice conversationalist. And I can't judge on words, you know!

[THEY ARE ALSO PURPLE PROSE NERDLORD, SORT OF]

[probe]

They're the worst. [huff.]

[commedia]

Mmm, if that's what you say...

[just teasing]
