ㅤ Is that so ..? Then I suppose I have less to worry about. For the time being, at least. ㅤ

ㅤ Not until /need/ is no longer there, at least. But yes, I understand this. ㅤ

ㅤ You will have to pardon me, for my inexperience in conversing with /divine beasts/ such as yourself. ㅤ

ㅤ Hmph. Do not be so presumptuous. I already deal in enough fools. ㅤ

ㅤ Hmph. It is less about /help/. As I said before : I will not make demands of you, Typhon. If anything, I appreciate the company that isn't from the fools. ㅤ

ㅤ ( His gaze lingers a bit longer, before letting his breath escape him momentarily. ) . . . Good. It would cause /me/ issue, should your existence not stay maintained. ㅤ

⠀ . . . Was that satisfactory ? ( His gaze finds the other’s lips, semblance of essence still lingering. His. ) ⠀

ㅤ ( And from John, little to nothing. No words. Merely the occasional slip of breath, or clear enough sound of restraint. Gaze can only watch and track as she makes multiple bites upon his arm. This is unlike a simple feeding, it feels more akin, to him, as being marked. ) ㅤ

ㅤ It would seem even a great dragon can carry the impishness of a devil . . . ( It's hard to measure whether he is annoyed, or merely accepting of this. Perhaps both ? In either case, he presents his arm : Already baring it to his elbow. ) ㅤ

ㅤ Hmph. Very well. ( Much like before, he is willing to bring himself to a knee, all to close the difference between their heights. It makes this easier for them both. ) ㅤ

ㅤ No, no I am not . . . Would you prefer to sink your teeth into me ? Or shall I pour it for you ..? ㅤ

ㅤ Insatiable dragon. You who cannot conserve your strength. Come. I will feed you, just as flowers want for the sun. ㅤ

and who is yelling Cerberus' name -- ?

ㅤ Hmph. Making me to be some swine, fattened up before the slaughter . . . I cannot deem it unwarranted. In either case, I will continue to writhe and rebuild my strength. My curses. Regardless of what I carry with me from past Singularities. I cannot yet let go. ㅤ

ㅤ Hmph . . . Put like that, I am unable to reject it. This, too, truly is another facet of hideous humanity. I have fallen time after time. Suffering failure after failure. So shall I continue, so shall I fail. I am unable to let go of this gnawing grudge. This hatred. ㅤ

ㅤ Guilt ..? You call it guilt, but I consider it karma for taking and using. Still. You are right, should she manifest to the forefront, this matter is between me, and the Fruit. . . . Gaze away then, into my abyss. Though I know not what within could interest you. ㅤ

ㅤ You are a greater existence. I am but a foolish king, one who took advantage of a component bearing your name. . . . And I am far from unreasonable. ㅤ
