[There's something very much like a smirk from this quarter.]
I was wondering if you would.
But I bet you've thought about it, haven't you? You'd have to, if you've thought about the rate at which you're losing Pieces. Besides, that's not the only problem.
I've been wondering this, but Nirrti really isn't using her Pieces, is she? They can't just be here for cleaning up the house and stuff.
She's still testing us, it feels like. Seeing where she can get in and what the weakest points are.
She's definitely going to find a few more, the longer things go on.
[He's absolutely matter-of-fact about this. Them's just the breaks, pun semi-intended. There's a moment after that where he just watches Watanuki, lip curled over a flash of teeth, not-quite-a-smile.]
You're not going to say something like, yada yada trying to change it might just make things worse, so we should just sit back and enjoy the ride, right?
[He hums for a moment and then laughs, halfway to himself.]
Not that I really believe in that kind of stuff, anyway.
It might actually be kind of interesting to see what Misfortune and Dimensions could do together. It'd just be a pain for me if I had to deal with you messing around all over the Fragments while I'm just trying to have breakfast or something.
[Like, despite his bouncing-off-the-walls energy? It's not exactly untrue.
He just tends to bounce off the walls while he's waiting. It's fine. For the moment, he's well-settled in Watanuki's room-parlor-thingamajig, looking both lazy and still kind of amused.]
But you know, I really expected you to have a more open mind. You might be a baby Witch, still, but you must have seen a lot more than that even just to become one. It's kind of disappointing.
[He just cocks his head at him again, a little like a bird, a little like something that doesn't quite understand the question being asked because it's looking at it through an entirely different lens.
He doesn't answer right away, though, just watches Watanuki for a few moments. Then there's something like a laugh, that's not quite a laugh.]
You're all pretty funny, really. I don't know human morality all that well, that's true, but what makes you think I'm qualified to talk about non-human morality, either?
[There's something like an edge there, as though this isn't a topic he especially likes, but it slips in and away like a very small fish.]
I'm just me. I go by what I believe in. That's all.
[He sees that edge, but instead of making him pause, it makes him push further. Because this is the world he has come to understand, and the one he must embrace to fully become a Witch.]
Because your morals and the morals of the realm of the spirits match up rather well, I think. Might makes right. If you are strong enough, you can make your will into reality.
That is a decidedly spirit-way of looking at the world.

[He gives a little laugh like the shop talk is fun to him, and it totally is. A little hum, and then--]
So, which Pieces would you be okay with sacrificing first off?

I get the feeling there are traps in this Game that both you and Nirrti haven't accounted for. You know what I mean?
What are you going to do about that vision, anyway?
no subject
Not drink fire, for one.

I don't know much about powers of prophecy, or whatever, but it's really that simple?

Anon-kun, has anyone ever told you that you talk just like a villain?
no subject
Well, I’ve definitely never been accused of talking like a hero. I think I like this better anyway.
no subject
That's kind of like what this moment is.]
Well I don't, it's really creepy.
no subject
[He, for one, has no compunctions about working with literally anyone.
He’s an equal-opportunity bad guy, y’all. Watanuki is getting the most amused look ever.]
no subject
[Partially because Watanuki knows far too many Creepy Children already.]
no subject
[He's not really contesting the unsettling part, because that's normal, but the creepy part is going overboard, gosh.]

I like playing with your birds? I miss having them around!
[He cocks his head at him inquiringly, very much a birdlike movement himself.
He’s apparently telling the truth though so ????]
no subject
Well.]
That's better, but...unfortunately, the birds won't be back for a bit longer.
