[If he looks like he's thinking about something for a second as he watches this bigass bubble drift off and eventually pop, it's because he is, and it's about something terrible.]
It's pretty rare to come across someone who doesn't mind spending their time with a curse, you know.
[PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT CURSE RIGHTS, CURSES SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHTS ACTUALLY!!
There's a bright note of amusement in his voice, and a lilting edge of what seems to be genuine curiosity.]
You really think that? Humans disagree. They like to judge everything on their own terms; even more if it's something they don't like or understand. It's kind of cute! [A pause. He dips his wand again and blows a few more bubbles, too, seemingly considering something before apparently deciding to shelve it for the time being.]
Mm! Well, you're right about that, anyway. If humanity wasn't the way it is, I wouldn't be here.
They do, but-- they're wrong about it, I think. I know they're just afraid of things that are different, or that they don't understand... I've just, you know, never really liked it.
[but such is the way of things. they blow more bubbles, aiming them at mahito's bubbles.]
I guess you do have a point, though. Besides, I kind of doubt it could be changed.
[He makes a light noise of consideration, watching the bubbles collide. Some pop on contact, some form megabubbles, drifting closer to the floor with their new weight. He reaches out with his free hand to a few that come close enough, trying to catch them on his fingertips.]
Yep. But if there isn't any fear, they don't usually do as well at surviving. [A little shrug!] I like being able to talk to people who think about it like you do, though! It's nice. You get it.
[They all met terrible fates for some strange reason. Meanwhile, he tries to catch another bubble on top of one of the bubbles that clings to his finger.]
Just like a curse can't be anything but a curse, a human can't be anything but a human. That's why it's such a rare mentality where I'm from. Even when I run into it, it's an understanding that comes with inherent bias, you know?
That's true, but part of being human is the capacity both to think and to change the way that you think about things, right? They can't change what they are, but they can change their perspective-- it's just that most aren't willing to do it, for one reason or another.
[can't believe this turned into philosophy while blowing bubbles.]
[IT SURE DID!! This is the second time Mahito's just taken a dive into weird philosophical waters with someone, very bad.
Speaking of, he will blow some more bubbles after popping most of the ones still in a reachable distance.]
Exactly! That's part of human nature. Even if they have the ability to change, they usually won't, because of this or that. They're contrary and stubborn, and they don't like admitting they're wrong. The ones who go against their nature to change anyway are always really rare, right?
I think so, yep! [It's fine, probably! Since they're sitting together under this cursed blanket, he leans over a little, gently bumping their shoulder.] It's nice, talking to you. I think that'd be the same either way.
[when he bumps their shoulder, they lean right back against him, except they don't pull away. it's a little tentative, they don't rest much of their weight there, but they're just testing if this is okay.]
I like talking to you, too. There's not always a lot of opportunity for perspectives like yours, y'know?
[Unfortunately for everyone but especially me, Mahito does not seem at all bothered by this! In fact, he actively encourages it by resting a little more of his own weight against them in turn.]
Hah, yeah? I guess even in my world, it's not like there are a lot of curses that can talk.
[Ah, the privilege of being a Deluxe Special Grade.]
Well! If you'd like, we can talk more, then. I don't mind your company.
Enjoy those flea cuddles though, Envy. He is unfortunately not an easily snappable twink so he's probably pretty decently comfortable.]
Hah! That's sweet. As long as you're not too busy, I'll come say hi, then. I don't mind the people who came here with me, but it's better being able to talk to everyone, you know?
[CURSED AND! TERRIBLE!! Mahito seems just fine with it, because unfortunately, of course he is. He will even reach for their free hand with his own so he can hold it, because he still likes slapping his palms on things even without his gumby touch.]
Hah! That's the last thing you have to worry about. [Also unfortunately, he's always very interested in things he can't understand right away! Bad.] You're fun to talk to, and everything's been interesting. I haven't been bored here at all, really.
[oh, they love handholding- they accept this easily, lacing their fingers together. it's maybe slightly awkward since envy's fingers are unnaturally long.]
Good! If you do start getting bored, you can let me know, okay?
[please know that i say with all the hate in my body that mahito has held hands with much weirder things before, and thus does not even seem to notice.]
Yeah? Will you help me out of boredom if I ever end up there?

[After a pause, inquisitively:]
Hey, are you human? Or were you? The way you talk about them kind of reminds me of someone who's sad about something they relate to.
no subject
I, um, I guess? I don't know, maybe I still am, but- I'm okay with not being one, too.
no subject
It's a pretty good way to look at things! I think I'd probably like you the same whichever it ended up being, too.
