Yeah? How can I entertain you?

Tell me a story, this time.

You... know I don't really know any, right? I'm not like you, I don't really read or anything.

[He pats the couch next to him though.]

[moving to sit next to him]

Stories don't have to be just something you've read or anything like that. That's a bit narrow, and I know most archetypal stories, anyway.

[??]

So... what do you want to hear then?

If I knew that, I wouldn't bother asking. I'd just seek it out.

Oh. I guess so...

[Well fuck he doesn't know what to say. He's not good at coming up with entertaining things that aren't sexual. What even kind of story is he supposed to tell? He didn't exactly have a childhood where stories featured. It was all survival and blood. Dokja said it didn't have to be a normal story but...??]

Um... I might not be smart enough to be entertaining.

Aloys... you're plenty smart.

Devious, even.

Devious is different from smart. I'm cunning and underhanded too. But I don't really... Know much?

What makes you think I'm devious though?

Academically intelligent isn't the only "smart" there is. If that was the case, people like me wouldn't have been tormented by bullies for having "stupid" interests growing up.

[JUST SAYING. but then swiftly moving on like he didn't just show that old wound,]

And you just said it? You're cunning and underhanded. Practiced with it. It's not a bad thing to be devious, so long as it's beneficial. And even then, it's not like I could judge.

[he can be devious af]

[He keeps learning new things lately. Like Anaxa revealing there are books on sex and what has he missed by not being interested in reading??

And now apparently it's possible to only have a bare bones education and still be "smart". What is the world even coming to.]

...Huh.

You know it's weird to me to think of someone being bullied for being into books.

What kind of devious are you then?

The kind who has tricked people into having to kill him a few times.

...I know most people would think my hobby isn't really legit but I'm gonna say it.

Have you considered better hobbies?

[He's going to drape his legs over Dokja's thighs, getting comfortable.]

[... rests his hands on those legs.]

It wasn't a hobby. It was just the only way to get to the end I wanted to see.

Yeah? And what end is that?

One where no one had to be sacrificed.

... it was unrealistic. Someone still died, and someone still had to sacrifice themselves in order to maintain that reality.

"No one". Does that ever include you?

... I said it was an unrealistic expectation.

Is being unrealistic so bad?

That depends on the scale of it.

What do you mean?

I mean that there's consequences for the bigger the scale.

You have to be more specific for that to make any sense, you know?

I don't really want to get into the specifics, though...

Okay.

[Accepting. He'll lean over the man and steal a chip.]
