Also he looks genuinely a bit surprised by that, jesus.]
Really? They've been nice to me the whole time, though! Maybe other people just aren't giving them enough space? [THEY ARE LIKE A FUSSY CAT one must be grateful for the single pat they are allowed and then let them wander back off into the night...
That gets him to laugh, though.]
Makes sense, right? But some of us like a lot of human things, too! For some reason, that always seems to surprise people. [For some reason.] Like - I hate humans, but I still like people, sometimes. As individuals, they're really interesting! And they make a lot of good stuff. I love their books and movies, and they're good architects and problem-solvers. They can be pretty inspiring!
[tmw your official likes and dislikes in the fanbook both include humans. RELATIONSHIP STATUS WITH HUMANITY: IT'S COMPLICATED. As expected of a curse with his source.]
I can enjoy nature without any complicated or innate feelings, though, so I really like it a lot. It's probably the same for them.
[hate that you've nailed pride's personality exactly
anyway.]
I like people too. Sometimes, uh, large gatherings are bad, and sometimes the individuals are too, but I don't know if I've ever met someone who I didn't think deserved the experience of living bright and beautiful.
[ME, POINTING AT ROYCE, WHO'S BASICALLY A RACCOON WITH THE PERSONALITY OF A STRAY CAT.]
Hah, wow - not a single one? That's pretty unique. [He actually sounds like he means it genuinely, too. He's not sure if he believes it - but a lot of the people here are outliers to what he's come to expect, anyway.
He holds a hand briefly, palm flat, like he's catching some rain in the cradle of it.]
What's your favorite part about people? And about nature?
I can still think they're assholes and want them to live. [they point out, with a hint of a grin in their voice.] ... I think I'm like you in that I really like that people create. I like that for most people it's second nature to hold out a hand to other people, even if they're scared to do it.
... For nature, uh, it's that it's terrifying. Haha. It doesn't give a fuck if you're in the way.
Mm... Well! We're different there, of course. [Of course! Curse life. But--] They really are creative, though! It's nice, living in a world with the things they make.
[Now if only he could push them outta their own sandbox.]
That's a good reason to like nature, too. I'd say you might like talking to Jogo, but Hanami is a much better conversationalist.

[a twirl of their umbrella again.]
You're right though - nature is easy.
