[GOOD MORNING. guess who's got feet enough to move again! and it only took, what. a week? good times. though Alex hasn't gotten to prowling yet; he's on the angled roof of the Gilded Castle, the story he'd been holed up in; his feet are dangling in Edel's window as he lounges, trying to...egh...enjoy this too-close sunshine

[oh, Ruca knows this voice.

though he wishes he didn't.

and he debates with himself for a really long moment whether he should say something or not. He really just wants to stay away from this guy for as long as it’s possible, but...]

Why...?

[ why did you do that? why are you talking as if nothing happened? there is a lot of questions behind that "why"]

[demonicbookworm]

...But I'm not a monster, I was... [he can't say that. and he has a feeling it won't change anything anyway.]

[mongoosegrin]

[slowly, mildly, but stubborn:] You are. What you are. That is all.

I am not taking this as personally.

[demonicbookworm]

[sighs.]

For some reason I'm not surprised you don't... [you start to remind him of Hasta. Just... you make more sense than Hasta does.] ...You killed people and act as if nothing happened.

[mongoosegrin]

Something happened.

[demonicbookworm]

You said that before.

[...]

Were you... possessed by that creature?

[mongoosegrin]

[mild, blunt:] I have nothing more to say to you.

[demonicbookworm]

...I see. In that case, I'm sorry for bothering you.
