*”Equals.. Hm, I never thought about it, nor him considering me an ‘equal’ due to that request.” Corruption thought while It continued listening to him. It did appreciate both the explanation and him being joking about it.* “Alright then. Thank you, for the information, I suppose..-“ *It said first, mumbling when It had to thank him.* “Who knows, I ain’t going to spoil you. And you consider me an equal. Guess this time there are many surprises or unexpected things, Pretty Boy.” *It added, most likely trying to return the joking part besides of using that kind of possible name regardless of what It said not so long ago. Saying something like that felt quite odd and in a way wrong for It do say such, but hopefully that will just be ignored or something. If it were to think about that and his others words, maybe that would be worth it in the end depending on his reaction.* “If you say so, and I know. Even if you are a bit of a bastard or a lot, you are still likeable and fun, even if I tend to be ‘complicated’ in a way.” *It spoke bluntly seconds later, most likely saying the bastard part in an affectionate way. He is nice, just like It’s friends. Sometimes, they just make It wonder how they even deal with It’s behavior and why they’d still be friends with It or even get along well with It. It would let out a quiet sigh to Itself, It should have guessed that.* “So..I have to ask for permission, and not touch them without asking. Honestly, that’s fair and understandable. That also makes sense.” *It didn’t actually know that those antennae are fragile by touch too, but it is still understandable and good to know now. It tapped It’s arms softly a few times, then It decided to just try to be luck and ask despite not knowing what It should do at all if he gives It permission to do that.* “..Can I touch your antennae, then?”
"... Pretty sure people wouldn't agree with you on the likeable part, but to be frank, I don't give enough shits about that."
