Um, but I'm not really used to hanging out with a lot of people, so- I'll try not to be too boring? Or a bad host, or-- oh my god, right, d'you need anything? I can get you a drink or something!
Anyway, he just holds his hands out toward them! Hold his demon hands, friend.]
It's okay! You can just talk to me, I'd like that. [...] Ah, but you don't happen to be able to, like - pull soft things out of your sleeves or anything, yeah?
[He thinks he likes Envy a little more than Sloth as things are, but truly, a delightful cloud hammock is hard to beat.]
[they. they have to let go of his hands like 3 seconds after taking them. they look a little sheepish about it, but they produce a very soft knitted blanket from their robe sleeve.]
[me seeing this ominous and lightly-seasoned-with-curse statement and just whispering teej is that you
Anyway wow he didn't actually expect this?! He does not seem to care about the fact that he can't hold their eyehands at the moment, distracted by the fact that there's this NICE SOFT BLANKET.]
Ah, wow! You really can! [Reaching out to touch the blankie! He doesn't take it, he just touches it with his little demon hands.] That's pretty convenient, huh?
[yeah i can't wait for the reveal that anna is playing all 8 npcs and they're all hisoka
Once again Mahito is getting nice things that he doesn't deserve, which harms me personally!! But he seems perfectly content. Though, after a second, he'll scoot over and flap part of the blanket out so they can both share it.]
Do you have anything else up there? Where does it come from, anyway?
[the same dimension wwx's bread comes from probably]
[they answer casually as they accept the offer, scooting in to get right under the blanket. despite being envy, they definitely don't mind sharing in this case.]
[He echoes it with a laugh, but it's clear that he doesn't actually intend to press for info. After all, he truly did just come here to vibe, not to use a braincell.]
Actually, some things that are not so terrible, too. He assumes that's probably more along the lines they're talking about... So, after a thoughtful pause:]
Bubble wands? [Y...yes.] Movies, books... Things like that, I guess!
[BUBBLE TIME!!!!!! He dips his wand and blows a stream of bubbles, delighted. Poor fucking greed who has to deal with the other side of this funky flea.]
Yeah? I only just got to use them for the first time a year or so ago... They're fun, right? Simple but fun!
[If he looks like he's thinking about something for a second as he watches this bigass bubble drift off and eventually pop, it's because he is, and it's about something terrible.]
It's pretty rare to come across someone who doesn't mind spending their time with a curse, you know.
[PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT CURSE RIGHTS, CURSES SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHTS ACTUALLY!!
There's a bright note of amusement in his voice, and a lilting edge of what seems to be genuine curiosity.]
You really think that? Humans disagree. They like to judge everything on their own terms; even more if it's something they don't like or understand. It's kind of cute! [A pause. He dips his wand again and blows a few more bubbles, too, seemingly considering something before apparently deciding to shelve it for the time being.]
Mm! Well, you're right about that, anyway. If humanity wasn't the way it is, I wouldn't be here.
They do, but-- they're wrong about it, I think. I know they're just afraid of things that are different, or that they don't understand... I've just, you know, never really liked it.
[but such is the way of things. they blow more bubbles, aiming them at mahito's bubbles.]
I guess you do have a point, though. Besides, I kind of doubt it could be changed.
[He makes a light noise of consideration, watching the bubbles collide. Some pop on contact, some form megabubbles, drifting closer to the floor with their new weight. He reaches out with his free hand to a few that come close enough, trying to catch them on his fingertips.]
Yep. But if there isn't any fear, they don't usually do as well at surviving. [A little shrug!] I like being able to talk to people who think about it like you do, though! It's nice. You get it.
[They all met terrible fates for some strange reason. Meanwhile, he tries to catch another bubble on top of one of the bubbles that clings to his finger.]
Just like a curse can't be anything but a curse, a human can't be anything but a human. That's why it's such a rare mentality where I'm from. Even when I run into it, it's an understanding that comes with inherent bias, you know?

[And here he thought he was the only aimless person who just wanted to shoot the shit with the npcs for the hell of it...! Which, speaking of:]
Nope! [He holds his hands up! Head empty.] I just felt like it. I liked talking to you yesterday, so I thought I'd like talking to you today, too!

they take his hands happily, though.]
Oh, yeah, I probably could-! Um, hang on--
[they. they have to let go of his hands like 3 seconds after taking them. they look a little sheepish about it, but they produce a very soft knitted blanket from their robe sleeve.]
Here, how's this?

It is! I'm honestly kind of a fan, it's pretty handy.

[they reach into their sleeve, kind of dig around a little
and they pull out a couple of bubble wands, plus bubble juice.]
no subject
That really is useful!
[Reaching out for one of the bubble wands! They are going to blow bubbles now, like a couple of clowns.]
no subject
[they're so pleased with the compliment! they keep the other wand, popping open the bubble juice. it is bubble time.]
It's been a while since I used one of these, honestly.
no subject
Yeah? I only just got to use them for the first time a year or so ago... They're fun, right? Simple but fun!

[one day mahito will be gifted a skip-it or a bop-it or something.
for now, they blow their own stream, then try to blow a single big bubble.]
no subject
For now, though, he is perfectly content to pause in his own bubble-blowing to just watch Envy try their best to blow a bigass bubble.]
Really? You're so nice! [WHAT A NICE STRANGE EYEBALL BEING, THAT ENVY.] Some of you guys are almost too nice, hah.
no subject
[they shrug, watching their bigass bubble float.]
I guess I just don't see a reason not to be, if you're nice to me? I don't really care about, you know, what you are.
