Perhaps it is surprise that you have any love left for me. Or is this the "love" you've discussed with me before? A sort of generalized, meaningless thing, where no matter how much I hurt you you will still love me?
I'm quite touched if that is the case! As monstrous and terrible as I am there are not many that would choose to love me. Or is it because of my monstrosity you feel that I must be loved? Is is a foolish sense of pity, perhaps, that cause you to feel that way?
What a noble sentiment. Even after what you have recalled has your opinion on that remained unchanged? Do you believe I am a man capable of - - worthy of being saved?
[ it's not like he's being forced to tell the truth. But at the same time - - he usually does put more thoughts behind his words than when he barely has a chance to pause like this, and he's not entirely certain what that lack of brain to mouth filter would do right now.
So he covers his mouth again, with a sigh of annoyance muffled into his hand. ]
[ either using his other hand—provided absinthe has released it—to keep him down, or otherwise he's flipping the hand absinthe's kissing as he leans down to hold him by the jaw. not tightly, just long enough for him to swallow the contents of the blue vial and then tip his head up to kiss absinthe on the forehead ]
[ he did keep a hold on his hand as he kissed him so he's quite easily pulled into that -- a bit disappointed he doesn't get to hear Lucifel ramble but oh well! it's not unexpected Lucifel would try to avoid that.
he does chuckle at the kiss and pulls back after a moment. ]
I'm sure you're disinclined to believe me. But most of my words during that game were those of my "role". To view others as filth, to only view Baritones as worthy of my time ...

I'm happy to hear that, Absinthe-san.
[ or not hear that, as it were—there's "satisfied" appearing in his cloud, and he's reaching up to try kissing absinthe through his hand ]

Shall we finish this, then?
no subject
Date: 2020-09-13 11:27 pm (UTC)[ there's a pause— ]
And . . .
Though what happened in that place was difficult, you should know, Absinthe-san—I don't hold it against you.
