Only if they're attacking you physically. If they hurt you any other way, and you want to hurt them back, you have to hurt me in their place.
[He does not know anything in private, but it's fine. He... is trusting Ryo has not done this because he hasn't seen it in public really. Except for Itto.]
You do attack Itto. [HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY. Kind of.] Don't you get along with him if he's a demon?
[He doesn't respond, but has that look on his face like Ryo is right, and he simply doesn't want to admit it. HE LOVES EVERY HUMAN. He killed some. It's fine.]

I may just pull a Scaramouche and live outside.

[He glances at Ryo, but frowns while he does it.]
How many times have I told you weeks ago you could stay in my room? Don’t complain.
And don’t live outside like a hobo.
no subject
ryo, at least, does not voice that. ]
It wouldn't be entirely like a hobo.

I’ll stay with Gideon in hers, but she is probably with Harrowhark. So she might just let me have it.
