But he doesn't. Instead, he raises an eyebrow. On one hand 'finally someone who wasn't going to overreact to his crimes.' On the other hand... That's... not a normal reaction to him.]
It was. I heard that the police couldn't find all the pieces of them afterwards. [He would ask why Flowey is so chill about things but that's not really his style. Instead, the big bird starts doing Flowey's general checkup. Check the depth of his wounds compared to when he was first admitted, measure the growths of his leaves, that sort of thing...]
no subject
Oh, so they were humans. [He says this as if it's normal.] How do you feel about it now? Doesn't seem like you're too bothered.
no subject
[He's... so not bothered about murder at all.]
... How old are you? [Anasui asks out of nowhere.]
no subject
[He says this exactly like a young teenager.]
no subject
...For someone so old, you don't know much about humans. You're basically the kid's age. [Smooth.]
no subject
... actually, he didn't expect a reaction that strong. Oh right, he remembers-- Emporio told him that they faced some type of evil guy who wanted to absorb everyone's souls and become god or something like that. Flowey remembers relating to it, but not in the way Emporio thought.
Well, if Anasui had freaked out and finished him off, at least he couldn't say stupid crap like that anymore.]
... Maybe! Maybe not. Hee hee. Say, how old is that kid, anyway? Does even he know, growing up in a prison like that?
no subject
He's probably like eleven or twelve. We don't know precisely but it's our best guess.
no subject
... Wait, let me guess. [He does a shockingly accurate impression of Anasui.] "Say, why's this little weirdo so blasé about murder, anyway? Where's his parents???"
no subject
The Espathra scowls as he hears his voice come out of the Sunkern. A cute trick but not one he appreciates.] I don't care about your parents. They're likely back in your world, dead, or both. But I do want to know why you're so blasé about murder. Then again... being someone with 'tremendous power', I suppose death means very little to you.
no subject
Although he'd normally have zero reservations about calling this out... he pauses.
Emporio already knows all that he's done, but he has a weird feeling that Emporio is a bit of a... special case. Anasui nearly punted Flowey across the room when he made a joke about having tremendous power.
... Maybe he really is more akin to the villain in Emporio's story than he'd like to admit.
Flowey decides to pick his next words very carefully. He hopes that Emporio can keep a secret.]
I was a kid when I died. It's been a while since then. You decide what that makes me now.
no subject
But since he doesn't, Anasui shrugs.]
Not my decision, brat. You decide what you want to be. I'm just trying to decide whether or not I should call you a brat or not. [He pauses though, sensing the change in the atmosphere. Anasui isn't good at emotional cues but...] I've been told by Dr. Denne I'm roughly the same age to how I was when I died. So I'll assume it's the same for you for your medical records and make a note of it for everyone else.
no subject
Sure, grandpa. Something tells me you would've called me a brat either way. [He really must be used to dealing with a goody-two-shoes kid who doesn't talk back like Emporio. Flowey almost wants to trip him with a root just to see what happens.
Almost. He still has a sense of self-preservation.]
Alright, then, that's just peachy. Do I get a lollipop?
no subject
Hmph. Doesn't help you act like one. [Good thing too, Flowey. Anasui won't do anything to anyone who doesn't deserve it... but as Emporio can attest, Anasui DOES go above and beyond what's generally acceptable to people who DO deserve it.]
... [Anasui glares at him but says nothing. Instead, he grabs a bottle of medicine from the counter and puts it in front of Flowey.] Take this with meals thrice a day. If you do that, you can go back to your guild.
[Anasui goes back to the table, turning away as if done with the conversation. However, he then turns back and dumps a Mago berry on a stick in front of Flowey.]
no subject
He does put it in his sling along with the medicine, though.]
... So. Do you regret killing her?
no subject

no subject
Oh. Oh.
Now a lot of things Flowey said made sense. Maybe Anasui was more right to check how old Flowey was than he realised.
... Now... should Anasui say anything about this? Sure, he could clear up a misconception... but Anasui wasn't particularly interested in defending himself, let alone giving this brat 'the talk'.]
...Or maybe I am. You should go ask others and ask what they'd do if they caught someone fucking their partner in their bed. See how much I actually suck.
