[Mahito expects any human to throw him under the bus or backstab him or use him for their own gain at literally any moment. That's just human nature, baybee! He's not a bitter or vengeful creature, despite being a curse, so he just accepts the horrific aspects of human nature quite peaceably. Terrible.
He also smiles about that, a twinkle in his demon eye.]
Nah, I'm still holding back.
[Mahito in the raveyard was more Mahito Off The String™ BUT EVEN THEN... Sometimes, you just prioritize survival and thus cannot truly unleash your full cursed energy. With a little laugh:]
I guess! But it's natural I'd accept 'em, since that's what I come from. [His curse origin.] Anyway, yeah! I went back with Childe and he went to sleep again, but I didn't, so I was like - oh shit! Gojou's trying to kill me! And I went around looking for him- [BECAUSE HIS DEFENSE IS JUST OFFENSE.] -and when I was on my way back from the spa floor, bam! Door's opened, there was Gu Yun with Childe's knife! And then he blinded me, hah. [HAH...] So we fought for a while and then took a break for a nice chat and a massage at the spa- [WHY.] -and then fought some more! It was a lot of fun.
[HE IS JUST. OUT HERE. HE'S TRULY A FLEA...
Also the AU would have allowed Childe's true shitheaded nature to stay hidden and that would have been the biggest loss, honestly.]
[ He's just a a curse accepting curses like it's natural, but she gets prioritizing survival. It's what she's doing. It's why she's been more helpful than terrible here, unfortunately. She's not too stupid.
Usually. ]
With Childe's knife, huh? [ Her lips curve into a dangerous smile. That's both horrible and funny.
But wait. ]
—You took a break for a talk and a massage.
[ She feels like she could get a headache, if she cared more. She's not surprised he thought it was fun, though.
She asked him if he had a death kink, and she still thinks it's a valid question now. ]
[IT'S TRUE, HE IS!! A curse accepting curses, and a curse who is nihilistic, but also a curse that does not actively want to die. Sometimes, in this house of gremlins, everyone has to set aside being terrible to be helpful. Their braincells...]
Yup! Pretty funny, huh?
[AND HORRIBLE, YES. Everyone in this house is a backstabbin binch. Anyway, he just nods! They're all shitposts here.]
Yeah! We had some time to spare and I kinda wanted to ask him about some stuff, like his reasons for picking me or whatever. Since we were already in the spa, it was like, why not just take a little break before we try killing each other again?
[They are truly both just out here, doing the most. ALSO STOP. HIS D...DEATH K........ ink....... it's fine.]
[ Assholes are assholes! Who knew? If her relationship with Childe weren't..... I don't even know what it was and I don't know what it is now, but if it were better than whatever it is now, she'd be a little angrier or at least a little more annoyed. As it is, she is moving on from the backstabbing. That's life! ]
Was it because he figured out how murderous you were?
[ Or did Gu Yun just want to know more the benefits of killing? Who knows? ]
But I can't say I'd care to take a little break. You can talk while you fight.
[ Is Medb wrong about him? She doesn't think she's wrong about the death kink. ]
[YALL WITH YOUR HET MESSES... That is indeed life, though. God bless.]
He was pretty sure I killed before, yeah! That, and he wanted his sight back or something.
[At least Gu Yun wasn't like Mineo about it, pretending it was all for the sake of justice. The humans who embrace their ruthlessness and Generally Unfortunate Human Traits are the ones Mahito can jive with the most! Mineo-types are just the ones he finds most amusing.]
Eh, you can! But I prefer to focus on fighting when it's time to fight. It's fun to have chats before or after!
[See: all the times he's just casually discussed philosophical concepts with people before supermurdering them.
