...Maybe it could do that. Huh. I would.

[Even then it might put him in a wildly different time period though, who knows how that matches up? But those are thoughts for when he's not reeling.]

I don't know, I think? If demons live on blood and get power from it and can be immortal then I think that's it? But I'm old also. Unless I stop aging suddenly. I don't know. It's confusing.

Do we need bathe you in blood?

[He makes a face. Ew.]

That's how it works.

Yvette said reptiles can drink water through their skin? Or their scales? Like that. I am a - a big lizard. That's probably why that one place's just blood. Because the demon king lives there, so he just sits in it all the time and sucks it up.

Fascinating. Must it be demon blood? Is the aetheric composition important? Or would any blood do?

I think human blood's stronger. But demon's fine too, probably the stronger the demon the better its blood would be. Maybe because it's had more human blood so it's more concentrated?

Oh human blood would be easy.

There's a lot when you're destroying whole worlds. It's just going to waste.

Quite so. A ready supply. You'd be welcome to all you need.

If that would do it, it'd be easy. Until your world's fixed. But maybe if I got enough I could keep going for a while.

Yes. What to do after would be the trouble. Perhaps everyone donating a little blood, it'd be quite a lot if you had just some from many. No one would refuse you.

....Your people really are soft.

None would see another suffer. Half sacrificed themselves willingly so the other half could live on. I myself would have offered myself had the convocation not needed me in Zodiark's summoning.

Of course they would all combine in an effort to accommodate you. Together it would be no burden.

...It's hard to imagine.

[But that reminds him of the thing Noah said again and he knows it's not a good time to talk about it.

Instead he just looks at Lahabrea for a moment before deciding he's not above initiating a hug right now, he can't talk about it but he can not be concerned with being a big man who doesn't need anyone! So he pulls him in, into both arms, trying to mind the rail. They don't need to fall over a stupid mistake.]

[What. What? Hey? He's not Emet-Selch with 500 squishy soft feelings he is OLD and Dignified (he's old, he's never been dignified in his life, he's full of 500 squishy feelings).

He's frozen in drunk confusion and tsun for a moment then just wraps his arms around Vergil and leans on him. Not too hard, they really don't want to fall off the balcony.]

Hmph. I wouldn't want to die. It's just how we were. If you could help another, you did, no question.

[Yeah, how's it feel huh? Sucks, doesn't it. Being emotionally terrorised and held when you don't even know what's going on sure is hard to take. Imagine.]

Well where I'm from, if you could kill another, you did.

[And he'll just pretend that's the reason he's having feelings.]

[It's terrible. So terrible he's relaxing into it, grip firm on Vergil's clothes.]

Well. We're both far from home so we'll just have to make it up. But should you ever need blood do let me know.

... You're quite the fast learner.

[He laughs, lightly.]

I don't think my body works that way here. But thanks.

And of course I'm a fast learner. I'm not an idiot. No matter what you think.

You never know. But I would assume you are firmly in the normal mortal category, as are most of us.

I said you were a fool not an idiot. Anyway you still are a fool, intelligent as you may be.

[He pulls back from the hug, grabs onto the railing to steady himself.]

It seems to be my type, fools. I suppose I fit in.

You definitely fit in. You're the leading fool, the world's foremost fool scholar in...foolery.

[Just conversationally.]

...Is your common law still in effect?

Should be.

You wanna push me again?

[He grumbles.]

Not if you call me on it.

Okay I'll pretend it's not happening.

[And he just turns his back to Lahabrea, nothing going on here.]

[He pats his shoulder.]

The moment's passed. Besides, I don't want to see you fall really. Too sobering. Even if you would be fine.

[He sighs.]

You're so soft. I think it's funny.
