Oh, face. I missed you. [makes exaggerated kissy faces at the mirror, chuckling to himself. He is in a very good mood now that he can see again]Speaking of handsome devils, did

I like your alternate, except that he basically told me there was no way he'd ever take me seriously.

Do I really look adorable when I'm trying to be serious? Man. Apparently hitting him won't work either.

[amazingly cluelessly] He said he wouldn't touch your swords without permission. Apparently he has the same attitude towards his.

[with a very serious expression]

You look freakin' adorable. Sorry, but you're like an earnest little puppy. It's a wonder you haven't gotten jumped before, kiddo.

Right, my swords. God help him if he touches my "swords".

[mach_kick]

It's... I... [just has no words for this] I, um, guess we don't have the kind of people who go for "adorable" back home. At least not on guys.

[Has this feeling he's missing something really obvious, and tries to think back on all his reading, both with Vergil and Sam. Finally, he hits on something.]

Wait, you don't mean Selph and I, do you? Are you territorial?

[with_liiiiiight]

They missed out, then.

[smiles at flattery]

Maybe, huh? [raises eyebrows]

[with_liiiiiight]

Haven't had much to be territorial over before, 'cept for my guns and the old man's sword. [shrugs negligently, as if this concept of being territorial over his "kids" doesn't bother him much]

[mach_kick]

Hmm, point. Well, let me know when you figure it out. It just seems like one of those things I should know. [no sarcasm here--Zell is being perfectly sincere]
