If I just want one of the demon powers, then can't I trade it for one of my jinrou?
If we were to tailor the wings to fit your...'aesthetic' as a jinrou, then they would be less expensive to get. Because it would fit more smoothly into your universe, if that makes sense.
Become his keeper. Anon doesn't have the best judgement, and he needs some help with knowing right from wrong.
Wings would allow you to soar through many worlds, but ultimately you need to stay rooted in reality. For every person that Anon kills, one of the feathers from your wings will fall out. So to keep your power of flight, you will need to guide him and help him find nonviolent solutions to his problems.
No. [ That's instant and there's so many reasons behind it that threaten to violently spill forward, but he swallows them all. He's not here to argue and he has some impulse control when it matters. ]
If you're worried about morality so much then you should be worried about mine too. [ It's been in the back of his mind, but this is what finally pushes him to just come out and say it. ] I can hypnotize—brainwash those who I bite. But you knew that, right? I used it to make Tohru my slave, and I used it to force Seishirou to kill his entire family. I'd use it again.
Take my hypnotism in exchange for wings and the power of flight.
I don't get it, but whatever. [ Ruffling his bangs. ] I have no idea what else to offer you, but I refuse to trade my freedom for his. That's not mine to give, even If I wanted to.

Did you want to keep them exactly as they are? Or are any wings fine, as long as you have them?

[ Tapping a finger to his lip. ]
Yeah, preferably. Would it be less cost for other ones? I'd still want them capable of flight.

They wouldn't be bat wings, would they? [ do not want. ] I want feathers.
