It was... familiar in a very ugly way. Though never in my life have I seen a creature or known a creature like that ever.

[ he clasps his hands together gently and gazes just. downwards at his knuckles. ]

But... there is a place like that where I am from. Not so much for prisoners, though the people kept inside... may as well have been.

[ he brow furrows, eyes closing. ]

[ frowns at this and feels kinda bad about bringing it up.... coughs up some peachy petals, with some kind of blue mixed in. pockets them.

bonks head against io's shoulder and stares down at where his hands are clasped. ]

It must have been difficult, even if it wasn't an exact copy... I'm sorry.

[bulls]

[ reaches up hand to just. ruffle his hair gently... pats cheek (face). the one with the much older scar, not the new one. ]

That was... not a priority for me. I had to focus. So. Don't apologize.

[ it... affected him, and it's visible in his expression, somewhat pained, but he's far more concerned about what it's done to all of them. ]

The difficult part was not so much the familiarity. But the tainting of the circumstance. Beastly thing...

[bladeward]

[ closes eye... which means he can't see for a second. it's fine. ]

Alright, alright. [ but still... he is sorry, because even if it's something you push away in the moment, it always comes back later. somehow. some way... and sometimes worse. ]

That's understandable... that thing really did pray on every vulnerable piece of us. And even feels like it still is.

[ aaaaaaa it was all hateful!! ]

When we all fell, what happened to you? You cut us out of that thing...

[bulls]

Same as you. Managed to... wake up from that dream. When I realized what was happening, I used my scalpel to get myself free so I could cut through the rest.

[ a little smile? a tug at the corner of his mouth. ]

It rends flesh better than most of its modern day cousins.
