[can't believe white and (redacted) are the only two people to ask him this.]
Oh. Um. I didn't really have a reason! I was just with everyone else. My brother and I are gods; we don't need anything. So I decided... well, the prince is always trying to get to the surface. But he keeps dying all the time! Over, and over, and over. I thought I'd help him get to the surface! He's been friends with me and my brother for a long time. And my brother likes him, I think.
But someone said... if the prince tries that hard over and over all on his own, then maybe he wouldn't need any help. I guess I don't have anything I'm here for after all!
I don't know. We, um, don't know a lot of what will happen. We're doing things for the first time just like the rest of you. Well, haha, it's the second time technically!
But the first time we've tried anything like this.
Um, well...! I'd really rather not, you know? I'm the House greeter! I don't do the whole dying all the time thing like the prince! Can you imagine my brother having to carry me right back to the pool? He'd kill me! Um, again! No thanks.
But that doesn't mean it won't happen. I'd really hate to leave Than by himself. We've always been together.
Oh, um... Y-Yeah! It's... like the Styx pool in the House...
[his shoulders hunch a little like he's being scolded? IT ISN'T EVEN HIS FAULT.]
Thanks, White. Even though we haven't talked a lot, you've still been really darn nice to me anyway. I know you all are going to come out of this okay! And then you can go back and be mortal again.

Uh... anything, I guess. Can I ask what you're here for, actually?

... Ah. Well, you're still kind of in a bad situation now, aren't you?
no subject
Haha, you could say that! [WHY DOES HE STILL SOUND SO CHEERFUL ABOUT IT] I didn't have a lot of choice, but... it was still a choice I made, though!
Even if I don't get anything, or even to go back, it'll be fine as long as you guys get what you came for!
no subject
... Really? But then what happens to you?

[thanks sloth he hates that place]
Well... hope you get to go back to him, then.

[sloth, please]
... Feeling optimistic?
no subject
[he seems cheerful at that.]
You bet. Being pessimistic wouldn't do you any good. Besides, I'm not my brother even though we look exactly alike!
no subject
[stop he's feeling awkward]
Your brother's a pessimist, huh? Or a realist, 'cause you're, uh...
no subject
[hehe. WHITE NO BULLY.]
He's really serious about everything. Just like Greed! I didn't think I'd ever say I miss him scolding me all the time about my job, but I do.
