“Goodness gracious, what sharp words! You wound me so.” But all their tone seems to convey is giddiness and mocking, no movement of real surprise found in those dark eyes. There’s sweet irony in being called anything close to a false god, for all the numerous divinities they’ve sewn into their Saint Graph, devoured whole or not. What a joke - a hardly laughable one at that.
From the mouth of babes indeed.
“Hmmm? Hmmm! Huhu, a good question. For conversation sake, let us skip over the unnecessary details and say… Nnn, yes, I am something like a ghost. Or maybe like a curse.” Or a caricature, or a shadow. Perspective depends wholly on the observer as to what he really is ( and who knows, truly? Not even he does, or cares to these days ). There’s something sharp in the way Limbo smiles; the point of a canine shown in a momentary flash. But it’s all in good humour, or the closest a thing like he can some to. “A thing once human, but only vaguely so, and less so now. Does that suffice as an answer?”
❝ ... annoying. you’re annoying. ❞
loud, too. who were they to decide what information was not necessary? sirin was half-tempted to bite back, but that would mean having to sit through more babbling. that was an exhausting thought. ❝ — but that’s fine. i don’t like your answer, but if it means i don’t have to hear you give another weird explanation, it’ll do. ❞
and it did intrigue her... just a little. a curse? a ghost? for a moment, she remains silent. it wasn’t as if the clown would just wander off if she remained quiet. for all the talk of being ‘wounded’, they seem perfectly content to stand there and smile. ❝ i’ve met a ghost before and you’re nothing like him. you’re more like... a doll — a badly made one. stuffed with different parts that weren’t meant to be put together. like patchwork. it’s gross, but... not as gross as something entirely human. ❞
❝ you’d be better if you got rid of that piece of humanity. it might make you less of a headache to look at. why are you even holding onto it in the first place? ❞
