[it’s abilities you piece of shit satan]

The demons said the playing field was even, so everyone is the same.

[Once he’s finished with cleaning as best he can, he tries to put some basic ointment on it.]

[RYO!! It startles him a bit, so he freezes until Ryo settles down. When he does it again, the attempt is striving to be gentle.]

I think people were putting him out when we were leaving.

[He does not look at Ryo directly as he asks,]

Are you saying that because he almost fell into the lava, or because he's human?

[Rather than answer, he turns away to dig through the kit again. He does not know how to make a temporary eyepatch, so Ryo will have to deal for now.

When he faces Ryo again, he settles a square of gauze over the eye to protect it, then unravels gauze wrap it around.]

[The latter.

He wraps the bandage around Ryo's head a few times so it'll stay, then he ties it off.]


One shot would have been enough, but we shouldn't have had to shoot anyone at all.

I think he cares about drinking.

[He backs up, making room.]

We don't know if Satan had anything to do with that place.

I'm going to bring you some food.

[He wants to put the stuff in his hands away, but knows if he turns to do it, Ryo will leave. And somehow, things feel poised on an argument they don't end up having.

So he blurts:]
You chose "don't."

[His expression shifts then softens. His eyes glance away, down. It'd be nice to be able to give Ryo the ability to be compassionate, to like humans.

But he wants Ryo to come to that alone.]


Go rest, and I'll bring you food.
