It's Greed.

Say whatever you need to say. If I feel like it, I'll answer.

[...Naki's a little like a cat, isn't he? Not that Greed minds at all, of course. He rubs the back of Naki's neck, smiling faintly.]

You can tell me, you know. About ghouls. It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone.

[Sure, Greed's human here, but so is Naki. Neither of them really know what the hell they're doing, so it makes talking easier.]

[deaftly]

I think I've told you everything. Ghouls are predators, humans are prey. Shit like that.

[He relaxes a little against the touch and after a moment he leans into it.]

[ossifragant]

[Wait, what?]

I don't think you've told me that part before.

[Not that he entirely minds pseudo-cannibals since he's a homunculus, but that's a pretty significant detail.]

[deaftly]

[That gets him to pull back a little so he can stare at Greed.]

...I didn't tell you that? Humans are the only fucking thing we can eat.

[...maybe he shouldn't have said that, hang on--]

Ahh-- Shit, you can't-- You can't tell anyone that!

[ossifragant]

[He's just... going to pinch the bridge of his noise here.]

I guess that explains why you're so interested in eating as many sweets as possible.

[Greed holds up a hand after a moment, though.]

You have my word; I won't say anything.

[Something something stones and glass houses.]

[deaftly]

Well, yeah. I couldn't eat anything like that back home. I mean I could but it was all super disgusting and it'd just fuck up my ability to fight.

[He relaxes a bit once Greed's confirmed that he won't say anything.]

Yeah. Thanks. I thought I'd mentioned that already.

[ossifragant]

["Oh, so you're like a panda" is what Greed would say if he knew what a panda was.]

That... sounds difficult to manage.

[deaftly]

[HE'S NOT A PANDA, HE'S A GHOUL thank god our conversation can't go that stupid]

Not really. I managed just fine for the most part.

[Ignoring Cochlea...]

[ossifragant]

[YOU CAN ONLY EAT ONE THING, IT'S A LITTLE LIKE A PANDA

...A CARNIVOROUS, PSEUDO-CANNIBALISTIC PANDA BUT STILL]

I see.

[He actually does. Kind of.]

I just thought maybe blending in would be difficult.

[Because Greed didn't even bother tbh]

[deaftly]

[WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT PANDAS THOUGH, GHOULS ARE THE SUPERIOR SPECIES]

Oh, I usually don't have to give a shit about that. I spend all my time with ghouls. I never had a reason to hang out with humans. Showing up here was the first time I was surrounded by them.

[Excluding being locked up in Cochlea, but that was less "surrounded by humans" and more "saw a few humans who were total assholes".]

[ossifragant]

[...yes, yes, of course they are.]

...that does make sense.

[deaftly]

Yeah. There's still a lot of things I've got to get used to, but since ghouls don't exist here I'm not as worried. It doesn't seem like I'm in any danger or anything.

But you can understand why I've been such a mess, right?

[ossifragant]

[Greed leans against him, bumping his head against Naki's.]

Yeah, I understand. Thank you for telling me, Naki.

[deaftly]

[Naki nuzzles Greed immediately in response. He's calmed down a lot since all this started.]

Yeah, you don't have to thank me. I needed to get it all out there anyway. If anyone from Aogiri shows up I shouldn't have an issue, 'cause I don't give a shit about them and I'm not working for them.

[The only exception is Yamori, but Naki's honestly not sure how he'd handle Yamori showing up here, so it's better not to think about it.]

[ossifragant]

[To be honest, Greed's not sure how he'd react if Yamori showed up here. He'd probably try to chase the man off, but then again, Naki might not want that.

The guy had better not ever show up, that's for sure.]

No need to worry about something that hasn't happened, yeah?

[Nothing's allowed to ruin the mood.]

[deaftly]

[He hopes Yamori doesn't show up because he has no idea what he'd want. He doesn't want to think about it, that's for sure.]

Yeah. Exactly. It feels pretty good to get all that shit off my chest though. I don't think I've got any secrets left - you know everything there is to know about me now. Or well, the important stuff.
