[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?
That's true, but part of being human is the capacity both to think and to change the way that you think about things, right? They can't change what they are, but they can change their perspective-- it's just that most aren't willing to do it, for one reason or another.
[can't believe this turned into philosophy while blowing bubbles.]
[IT SURE DID!! This is the second time Mahito's just taken a dive into weird philosophical waters with someone, very bad.
Speaking of, he will blow some more bubbles after popping most of the ones still in a reachable distance.]
Exactly! That's part of human nature. Even if they have the ability to change, they usually won't, because of this or that. They're contrary and stubborn, and they don't like admitting they're wrong. The ones who go against their nature to change anyway are always really rare, right?

I have a lot of other stuff, though.

no subject
[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!
no subject
[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.

[After a pause, inquisitively:]
Hey, are you human? Or were you? The way you talk about them kind of reminds me of someone who's sad about something they relate to.
no subject
I, um, I guess? I don't know, maybe I still am, but- I'm okay with not being one, too.
no subject
It's a pretty good way to look at things! I think I'd probably like you the same whichever it ended up being, too.
no subject
You really would?
