[ And here you have one(1) Zetsurin, draped over one(1) windowsill. He still looks pretty.. well, apathetic, and terribly tired. Maybe a little stressed? Probably. He's also staring at the crow, on the ground outside a few feet from him.]

...I don't like being alone here with you, you stupid feathered demon.

Try sounding a little less cheerful there, Zetsurin. I don't know if this place can handle your enthusiasm and sheer energy.

[warped_genetics]

[ Narrows his eyes a bit, and frowns. ]

I don't need your disrespect, Joshua, or want it. Please, leave me be. I don't want to be angry at you.

[i_see_death]

[quiet laugh]

How magnanimous of you. If you don't want to be angry at me, Zetsurin, then don't be -- simple as that.

[warped_genetics]

[ Soft sigh, rubs his temples.]

There's nothing simple about it, Joshua.

You must be bored, to want to pick on me today. Don't you have other.. friends you can exude your intelligence upon?

[i_see_death]

[airily] Nope, sorry, not a friend in sight. Tragically isolated and lonely existences are all the rage in Sheol at the moment, you know, and I do try to keep up with the trends, so -- [he shrugs, giving another soft, teasing laugh] -- I'm afraid the social life just had to go. Suppose that means you're stuck with me until I've found something better to do, hm?

[warped_genetics]

[ Frowns at this.]

...I suppose.

It's not exactly my fault I'm alone, anyway.

[i_see_death]

No? Whose fault is it, then?

[warped_genetics]

It's not like Razzat left because of me.

I don't know why he left. Perhaps he was brought back to life by the gods of his world.

[i_see_death]

Which would make it their fault that you're all alone now?

[warped_genetics]

No.

I don't know whose fault it is. But I know it's not mine.

[i_see_death]

Ah. And, of course, if it's not your fault, then it's not your responsibility to try to fix the problem, either, is it?

[warped_genetics]

I cannot fix something that's beyond my control.

[i_see_death]

But is it, really?

[warped_genetics]

Yes. This world is not of my creation; therefore, I cannot do anything about it when someone disappears. [ He sounds a bit melancholy at this, but shrugs it off. Also, here's an abrupt subject change.]

You must be really dedicated to putting people, down, Joshua.

[i_see_death]

[mildly] Must I? Whatever makes you say that?

[warped_genetics]

The way you talk is condenscending. You believe yourself to be of a higher stature than everyone around you, exemplified by the fact that you do not consider anyone here to be your friend, even those who would care about you. You tend to smirk when something pleases you. Usually that something is a result of making fun of someone.

Your ways are subtle, but not foolproof. And as much as I don't believe you're a bad person all together, you do tend to come off as a jerk. You're.. [ Pauses as he tries to think of the term.] "Cold?" I suppose that's what humans say.
