Array 161 // Video

[bloodseal_soul]

This will be the fourth time I've seen a new year here. I guess it's not so bad, is it? Most of the time.

If you could make a change in yourself right now, what would it be?

That question, I feel, is rather wasted here, Alphonse.

[hisbutlerbound]

Yes and no. Self-guilt, rot, inner ambitions, pity, suffering. Pain essentially doesn't soothe the soul. It makes such a wonderful spice. Those that fester and loathe tend to ruin such a taste with the condoned and unsatisfactory will necessary and needed, but sometimes pessimistic natures combined with that suffering tend to make better meals.

[bloodseal_soul]

That's not that comforting, considering how interested you've always been in me.

[hisbutlerbound]

Mm, so then you see why a bit more optimism would make me want to eat you less?

[bloodseal_soul]

I guess I'll use that as motivation.

[hisbutlerbound]

Only if you truly want to. I'd hate to force your hand.

[bloodseal_soul]

All right, your turn.

[hisbutlerbound]

If suppose if you wanted a true answer from me my answer would be that I don't know unless there is some way of being more patient, more calm, and more assertive than I already am.

[Which to Sebastian, couldn't possibly be, because he already was]

[bloodseal_soul]

Why those things?

[Hey, Al likes to know.]

[hisbutlerbound]

I am a butler, Alphonse. I must be patient, calm, and assertive in everything I do. If I was to fault or err in some way, then I would be at fault in my duties. [And his aesthetics.] Besides, if I wasn't patient, I could never wait for a perfect meal.

[bloodseal_soul]

That does make a lot of sense.

[hisbutlerbound]

Now if I could change something about myself for the better, that would be entirely different.

[bloodseal_soul]

How so?

[hisbutlerbound]

Because it is something I would want and yet not something I would need.

[bloodseal_soul]

That makes sense.

[hisbutlerbound]

Because who wouldn't want to understand what a precious feline is saying.

[And any stunning or cool like points are instantly flushed down the toliet. Back on cats again]
