[...

he blinks like he can't believe those words just came out of power's mouth.]

[ DON'T BE RUDE, I'M NICE TO YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO ME IN. ]

What?

[allyship]

[LOOK,]

I just... wasn't expecting to hear that question from you.

[powerplay]

[ No no, Rochalizo is valid. I'm also just bullying him oocly. ]

?

Why not? It felt like it hurt.

[he is also

mildly dodging the question]

[powerplay]

Hmm. I guess that's fair. [ SHE JUST GOING TO ADMIT THAT STRAIGHT UP. ] Most devils don't care to ask if humans are okay -- if anything, we'd prefer seeing them suffer, actually.

But I like it when it's funny, and that didn't seem funny.

[allyship]

... Well, yes. I would say it was decidedly unfunny.

[powerplay]

Exactly! So that's why I'm asking. I prefer the things I like to be 'okay'.

[allyship]

[allyship]

[good because it was half-honest, half-not]

... Really, I wonder how the world must look through your eyes.

[powerplay]

But I also think it's very fun. I like being here.

[ Despite the grime and dirt, there's a place on this Earth she calls home. ]

[allyship]

... That's good. In a way, there's no greater treasure than a place to feel at home in.
