Are you saying what they say now isn't really how they feel? Now I didn't think that far. ( he didn't, he's already humoring the idea in the back of his head, but he is a little disheartened if his psuedo-kings weren't fond of him at all. sure, he's unable to hear nice words from the real things so he's taking what he can get, but with that reality dawning on him.. it's hard.

aside from the truth.. violet eyes drop down towards the doll as he holds off one of his many excuses, analyzing the creature while curious if something will happen. he's had this problem before, but the problem was solved easily — pawning it off on someone else. now he knows that he can't do the same to lancer, oh no, he'll only find himself in trouble. it's not like he can hide away from the other either, they're aware of who each other are, and their time in chaldea. )

I did! You're the animal expert here. What did it say? ( he's staring into the other's vibrant green eyes, wondering where they'll look. )
