“you’re a monster.” ( from darius because idk he wants to die. )
@inventedtrust / monster.
❛ recognizing your own kind, are you? ❜ his voice is cold, filled with venom before his last few words are underlined with a bit of static as his ai tries to take over, already able to tell that there will be an overload if it doesn’t interfere soon. but this is a shutdown sousuke is all to willing to risk if it means getting to darius squirm. there is no hesitation as metal hand moves to rest on the others shoulder in almost friendly ways, were it not for artificial fingers digging into the thieves skin in a vice like grip. eyes flaring up as he fights back every falsified instinct that wants him to end this pathetic little existence in front of him. no, not unless therion outright requests him to do so. he thinks, swallows back threats he wants to tell the other but instead he manages a wry smile underneath his mask.
applying just the tiniest bit more pressure he waits for a satisfying sound to give sign of darius’ pain. gaze focused on the others face his voice is surprisingly calm, collected. ❛ may i say, i think that you are perhaps one of the few people like me i’ve ever had the pleasure to be in the presence of. and for this, i will offer you a gift. ❜ he begins, forcing down any insult he may want to sling at the young man. no, violence was a reaction darius had probed for, most likely. and even if he was a monster among men, sousuke wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of that. ❛ i bet it’s been a long time since anyone has pointed out to you that you are an idiot. success doesn’t define people; it’s love that does. and you would know that, but you have none around you. you do this to yourself, you surround yourself with lies and decption.
and i wish for you in the future to find someone who will mourn you when you are gone. have a lovely evening. ❜ he wills himself to release darius’ shoulder, taking a few steps back before turning around, r eady to leave. he takes no look back, instead opting to seek out therion to check on him. he’d not seen that kid all day and where sousuke lacked any care about whatever might befall darius afterwards it was made up for in his worry about the young thief-turned-vigilante.
