[Sometimes it pays to be nice occasionally. God bless.
Mahito looks delighted on their behalf! And also delighted for the bubbles. He claps his hands together, before holding one out to try catching some on his fingers. After the first few pop, another sticks... HE HOLDS IT UP VALIANTLY.]
["It isn't terrible" is honestly probably more than Jogo ever humors him, so he will take this gladly.
He will also very carefully try to help transfer the bubble over, keeping his finger still. It successfully bloops onto Pride's clawed fingie... Though it'll turn iridescent and pop soon.]
They stick around longer if you get some of the juice on your hands first.
[I CAN'T EITHER. PEOPLE STOP TRUSTING FLEA CHALLENGE.
But he'll reach for the bubble wand and dip it so he can blow a stream of bubbles in Pride's general direction! Fortunately he is not just punking Pride, and whatever bubbles they try to catch with their soapy claw finger will stick faster and stay longer.]
It'd be nice if they lasted longer, but I guess that's part of the fun.
Anyway that is some truly lame goth shit, but Mahito just hums in agreement.]
Yup! That's what makes things enjoyable, right? Knowing they'll end one day.
[He says, even though he is a fuckin immortal curse that will continue popping back up like a daisy every 100 years any time he dies. After blowing another stream of bubbles, he'll hand the wand back!
And then, seemingly apropos of nothing:] Hey - d'you have enough hair to braid?
they take the bubble wand again... and blow some more bubbles. it is kind of fun. this is stupid. they do hum in agreement in return, though. everything ends life sucks and then you die etc etc.
the question gets them to glance over at mahito.] ... I have a decent amount, but it may be hard to reach.
[IT IS FUN. SEE. Mahito's momentarily distracted by the flurry of bubbles that rush by, reaching out to snatch one from the air seemingly on reflex before he turns back to Pride. Life sucks and then you die BUT!! Sometimes you get to blow bubbles and braid hair first, and ain't that just what living is about?
[they watch him get distracted by the bubbles, almost amused.
and then, after a long moment, they sigh, and slip the hood back.
behold, a man. stop guessing my fucking characters. anyways, a small, kind of gaunt man, with coarse black hair that's pulled back into a ponytail. his gold eyes are catlike, a slit pupil. he has long, pointy ears, dark circles around his eyes, and fangs that poke out from his mouth. but the most important thing to note is the thorn crown made of pure gold around his head. it seems to be growing in and out of his skull, and digs in painfully here and there.
But he has patience when he needs it, and he will wait patiently for Pride to make their decision! When the hood's off and aki is proven right once more, he'll just perk up a little, interested and curious! He's not sneaky about giving his wholeass face and head a look-over, and then he just nods and gives a thumbs up.]
Nice face! [Thank you Mahito.] I like the color of your eyes. That looks pretty painful, though... Does it hurt? Would it hurt if I accidentally bumped it or something while I was working?
[Sometimes, a curse can control their inherent impulse to do harm! Especially when not dealing with wholeass regular full humans. God bless.
Anyway, after that's all settled, he'll start working on a braid. He's styled Medb's hair several times for trial, so he is unfortunately very good at it for reasons that are even worse.]
Hm... I guess, yeah. Though I think in some places, wearing a hood would just draw more attention your way. Not like that for you, huh?
Uhhh... I think Gojou Satoru heard it from someone? Or something? Someone mentioned it in trial too, once... maybe. [Now he's squinting too and pausing in his braiding as he tries to remember. it is i aki who cannot remember but fortunately mahito is a fucking idiot too]
...Don't know! But I remember hearing it, 'cuz I tried to avoid that room when I tracked him down earlier.
[Gojou in the tearoom... Tracking him down for hell.]

Nice! See? It's pretty fun, right?
no subject
... Fun isn't the word I'd use, but it isn't terrible. [mahito can have that much ig.
very carefully, they reach over to try and scoop the bubble onto their own hand. it's surprisingly delicate, considering they have claw hands.]

no subject
... Yes, but I have a high pain tolerance. I don't care.
[pride has been through some shit.]
no subject
Eh, that's pretty impressive... I'll still be careful, though! I'm good at working with finicky details and small things, so it should be fine.
[His gumby hands. But!! He'll shift a little, turning to face Pride more directly and hold said demon hands up first, nodding.]
Is that a yes?
no subject
... Fine. [he GUESSES you can touch him.]
no subject
[JUST YAY... He will gladly scoot over, reaching up with his little demon hands to gently and carefully start loosening the ponytail.]
--Hey, why d'you guys wear the hoods and stuff, anyway?
no subject
I usually wear hoods. This was not a huge change in... fashion. For me.
no subject
Oh... Huh. Was there any reason? Just something you liked to do?

That's good, at least! --Oh, hey, speaking of. I heard from some people that you do like the chapel and from some people that you don't. Which is it?
no subject
I don't hate it. But I don't particularly like being there, either. Who said I like it.
