...I understand.

[And he does, and that's the thing, really; killing people for the hell of it isn't something he's unfamiliar with. Sure, survival can be argued, but that's never really been all it is for him.]

Just be careful with what you do around them, all right?

[feistytrader]

I will. I'll keep my guard up.

[...But the topic leaves a bad taste in his mouth, and besides, there's something he's been meaning to ask.]

How have you been doing, Tsukiyama?

[preybeforemeals]

What...?

[...Holy sudden topic change, Batman, hang on.]

I've been doing just fine, actually - much better than before, at any rate.

[feistytrader]

Have you eaten?

[WE ARE DONE WITH CENTIPEDES AND NOW STRICTLY ON OPERATION FUSS OVER TSUKIYAMA]

[preybeforemeals]

[SILVER, NO

SILVER WHY]

...The less I tell you about that the better, just in general.

But yes, I have.

[feistytrader]

That's fine, I was just- you looked pretty sick before. I was worried about you.

[...]

I'm glad you feel better.

[preybeforemeals]

[...Oh.]

Thank you, by the way, for assisting with all of that when I wasn't feeling well.

[THE...MUSHROOMS AND STUFF...]

[feistytrader]

I didn't really do much...

Oh, wait, you mean the mushrooms? No problem. Those are easy to gather. I'm just glad they helped.

[preybeforemeals]

Well, they definitely did, particularly as they didn't have to be ingested like that.

They were a little strong, but they did what they were meant to do.

[feistytrader]

They're a little too strong, if you ask me.

[...He might have had a really embarrassing talk with Black.]

At least you didn't try the sadness ones. Those ones are awful.

[preybeforemeals]

Oh...?

[Thankfully, Tsukiyama was a little too out of it to register the crazy person on the network talking about chemically manufactured sadness, but- ]

Did you just...decide to play with these things one day, or...?

[feistytrader]

There was a task board job for them.

[...]

I mean, the job was about cultivating them so they could be neutralized or something, but using them for their emotional effects sounded like a better idea.

[preybeforemeals]

...I would say "as long as it makes you happy," but it sounds like it did the exact opposite of that.

[WHY]

[feistytrader]

Well, messing with them enough led to the ones I gave you, so it was worth it.

[BECAUSE HE'S STUPID]

[preybeforemeals]

["SILVER NO" IS JUST THE THEME OF THE DAY, IT SEEMS]

...It's...flattering that you feel that way, I suppose?

[fuck does he do with that]

[feistytrader]

[...]

Sorry, was that a weird thing to say?

[Look at him go, he's gaining a little self awareness-]
