The balance shifted - the balance between humans and curses. [The world can thank Gojou Satoru for that one.] So we're not really in a good position, yeah.
I don't believe in good and evil. Whatever side you're on tends to be the good one. Whatever side you're against tends to be the bad one. Two sides of every dagger.
[He looks like he's considering saying something for a moment, but eventually just shrugs, pulling his hands away from the flower.]
Not many people walk a line where they're allowed that kind of perspective, though. I can't fault humans for it; it's just as much a part of their instincts as anything else.
[there's the smallest hint of a memory as they glance up at the flowers. a tall man with brown hair and a beard looks down at you, amused, as you explain to a horrified court assistant the various ways you could kill the duchess --
[Somehow, a little blip of memory is almost more disorienting than the big chunks of alternate lives he's been dealing with lately - maybe because it's new. He blinks a couple of times, quiet for a second, but chooses to leave it unaddressed.]
--I think you might like it! It's a really unique-looking flower. Most volcanic flowers are.
Huh, could've fooled me. [YOUR ROSES, PRIDE!! But he holds his hand up, emulating the size of a bloom and gesturing around as he discusses various parts of it.]
The most popular ones are purple - a light shade on the inside, and a darker one on the outside. But there are some really nice ones where the petals are white or red instead. With the way they grow, they kind of make a bowl shape and the corona just spills out of it.
[i can't believe mahito's tiered lists of favorite npcs is just doing the rapid charleston slide shuffle this week
Anyway his expression brightens WAY THE FUCK UP, like a kid at Christmas... He reaches out to take the flower and holds it very carefully in his cupped palms.]
Woah—! That's amazing! If you hadn't seen one before, I was gonna show you in the simulation room, but this is way better!
[Hilariously Mahito the fucking curse can read a vibe better than half the people here apparently, because he'll stand up when they glance away, still carefully keeping the flower tucked in his hands.]
Well - I'll get outta your hair now. You don't mind if I stop by to talk later, yeah?

Can't blame you for fighting back. Or whatever it is you're doing.
no subject
You're not so bad, huh?

It is what it is. No point in fighting it.

[It is probably not great to have so many aligning opinions with a flea!! But he seems pretty content with it.]
--Hey, just curious. Most of you guys don't seem to be human, really. Are you?
no subject
[oh. touchy? calm down, pride.]
no subject
Mahito seems unbothered as ever though, raising his hands.]
Alright, alright. Let's talk about something else, then! If you could put any plant in here that isn't already here, what would you choose?
no subject
... I don't know. [they say after a moment. they look at the other flowers.] I don't know many others.
Monkshood, maybe. Oleander. Hemlock. [those are all poisonous, pride.]
no subject
Mahito also sees Pride.]
Any that aren't poisonous? [But he says it in a light and lilting way that implies he's not at all bothered. Poisonous plants are great, honestly.]
Ah - have you ever seen passionflowers before?
no subject
pride shakes their head.]
Maybe. Why?

Not really a flower enthusiast. [they mostly just like roses, but.] What color is it. The flower.

It was a good enough description. [shrug.]
no subject
Can you make any flower if you have a good enough description? Or any plant?
no subject
no subject
Hah, yeah, I wasn't gonna ask for anything else. Gifts like this are better!
[SURPRISE ONES!! One of a kind ones!]

Hm. [they glance back at the flowers. well, okay then.]
