[The video clicks on showing Bonten from his shoulders up. He's looking very displeased as a sizable swarm of butterflies flutter about him, getting stuck in his hair and landing to crawl on his head. They aren't attacking him, yet, since he hasn't swatted at them, but it is very clear his patience is wearing thin.]

This was not a pleasant thing

It could, of course, be worse.

[readingfate]

Of course.

This is but a minor annoyance, but unpleasant all the same.

How are humans faring with them, hm?

[angelic_lawyer]

It all depends on the individual.

[readingfate]

Let me rephrase, then.

How are you faring?

They don't seem interested in attacking me, at the very least.

[angelic_lawyer]

For the most part, quite well, thank you.

That's good to know.

[readingfate]

I figured as much.

I do wonder what provokes them.
Have an idea?

[angelic_lawyer]

Not particularly. I can't say I have any desire to find out.

[readingfate]

I'm simply curious.

It's obvious they aren't ordinary.

[angelic_lawyer]

Quite. Although at some point, the abnormal must become the normal.

It almost feels as if there's some truth in the superstition of a large number of butterflies being an ill omen.

[readingfate]

Hm. That's a very interesting observation.

It is in moments like these that I truly wish my chip was already removed.

[angelic_lawyer]

Is it? It struck me as common sense.

Oh? How unfortunate that it's not, then.

[readingfate]

Humans Most here don't have an ounce of it.

Yes. Very unfortunate.

[angelic_lawyer]

I suppose that's true.
