Yep! A lot of people here have waited a really long time... [He trails off, absolutely just thinking about Ming Yi in particular. Thanks memshare week.
But his attention draws back to Greed, and he cocks his head to the side curiously at the pause that he can read discomfort in.]
It is, yeah. [He just sounds convinced entirely, but given what he is, it's probably not a surprise. There's a little pause, and then:] You're pretty interesting after all, huh?
It's weird! [What a nice start.] I have the hardest time getting a sense for what kind of person you are out of all eight of you.
[Unfortunately he can understand the Very Inhuman Avatars pretty decently by nature of being inhuman himself, and he can also understand most of the behaviorally-adjacent-to-humans ones by nature of being a human curse. Greed baffles the fuck out of him, though.]
You sound gloomy sometimes, but I get the feeling you don't necessarily want to be?
MAHITO SEES THAT CHALLENGE THOUGH!! There's a little twinkle of amusement and interest in his demon eye. Suddenly, he's holding his hands out, palms flat and facing upwards.]
HE JUST STANDS LIKE THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE....... Not doing anything, just fuckin vibing while holding Greed's demon hands.
When he finally lifts his head again, there's something - content? satisfied? - in his expression. It's probably still fine. He holds his palms flat; Greed can take their hands back any time.]
[STOP LOOK he'd be like this literally two minutes after killing people, he's just out here doing whatever the fuck.
Anyway, with a bright smile:]
Mm, nothing! Ah - you probably don't like having too much of your time taken up though, huh? I'll go get started on these books and come find you when I'm done.
[also because it should be mentioned, greed's hands are pretty cold so hopefully mahito wasn't bothered by that. nevertheless, they are absolutely leaving this conversation more confused than they started, but that's. literally all conversations with mahito.]
...alright then. Keep them for as long as you'd like and do not damage them.

[For the books and also the. Murder tools. Thanks buddy. BUT!! With that, he'll just wave, tuck the books under his arm and mosey on out. God.]
