[HE LAUGHS ABOUT THESE PUNISHMENTS??? why the fuck did it take someone 6 weeks to kill this man.]

That's about what I'd expect. Really creative stuff, huh? It's not bad!

[Terrible. BUT WOW. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS. Whatever the fuck this is. He's still just hanging out here, vibing and smiling as Sloth makes a new awful flea friend.]

I do, yeah. We don't have to be like friends - we can just be friends, you know? I'd love to be your friend! Ah, I can't really make a binding vow in the way I would back home, either, but that's fine! We can just do it this way.

[Lifting his free hand, pinky extended!]

You know about pinky promises?
touchups: (finally what you hope to find)

[LOOK. Sometimes?? You're just Sisyphus, and that's okay.

Wow this is terrible though. Can't believe Mahito is killing one of Sloth's crew and then gifting him a best friend only to snatch that gift away accidentally. He looks perfectly content as he hooks his pinky with Sloth's, though! The contract is sealed.]


Oh! I guess we are, huh? I've never had a best friend before. [HOW EXCITING.] I promise I'll treat you really nicely! And come find you again, when this is all over.

[I'll find you.]
touchups: (i think the ocean stole my watery soul)

[closes my fuckin eyes again

BUT YAY, BESTIES. Mahito will move to unhook his pinky, but he just shifts to hold Sloth's hand instead. A terrible, tactile flea.]


It's not weird! I think that's a normal friend thing. I miss my other friends all the time and I can't wait to see them again, either! [Y...yaaay flea friends.] And for best friends, that's probably even truer.

[He has just so easily accepted that he is now best friends with this man whose name he doesn't even know. God bless.]

Hey, maybe I can even bring some bubble juice and a hula hoop with me and we can get those really big bubbles!
touchups: (won't you come inside)

[STOP THERE IS NO FEAR HE CAN'T WARP ANYONE'S SOUL HERE!! IT'S FINE just some cute non-warpy hand holding between best friends.

As always, he is perfectly happy floating like a little bubble himself.]


It's fine! I'd be a friend visiting you, right? Like a house guest! But also a best friend! So it's okay to take a break from work.

[don't just decide these things]
touchups: (i don't believe in safety nets)

[Holding hands... floating... gently discussing the possibility of Sloth's imminent termination.]

What happens if you get fired, anyway? Do you just get to go hang out at some other place and do a different job?
touchups: (and we can't have you living a lie)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-20 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S REALLY JUST OUT HERE SAYING THINGS.]

Oooh... Wow! That'd really suck. [YOU THINK???] Well! Let's hope that didn't happen, then. Having to visit you in Tartarus would be a pain.

[He'd still do it, though. He's a curse of his binding vow.]
touchups: (you'll return home in the morning)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-20 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He would absolutely try to fight the shit outta Hades. Wow. Hate that so much.]

Oh! A boat ride like that would be so much fun! [HE LOVES THE IDEA OF IT. Of course he would the fuckin maniac. He'd clap his hands together if they weren't both currently occupied.]

Okay, you'll have to do your best to not get in trouble, then. We'll work harder on getting you guys outta here faster!

[HE WANTS HIS BOAT RIDE. Time to go stab Sloth's teammates and then die for it.]
touchups: (when the truth arrives)

[nyet

Anyway he doesn't need to tell Mahito about those things because Mahito for some reason continues to have a full stock of random knowledge including ancient Greek/Roman lore. He just... nods...]


It's okay, I've had worse than that! It'd be worth it.

[WOULD IT BE?? But he just. Nods.]

That's what friends are for, right?
