From:

devilgod

I am. I'm just not accustomed to anyone offering me anything in return. {Ever. For someone like Tantai Jin, born into a cold world, deprived of simple humanity, it means a great deal. How else is a Devil God supposed to be properly born?}

From:

babeldom

Hm? No? Well. I am. So, just let me know if you think of anything, okay?

[Because he does want to do something in exchange. If he can. Whatever the other might want or need help with.]

From:

devilgod

I... {What does he say? Trust is difficult for him to grasp and yet... Li Susu would want him to try.} Likewise. If you're hungry. It's alright. You don't have to hide.

From:

babeldom

O-okay. Alright. I'll let you know.

[Even if he might still be stubborn about it and try to last for longer between being able to feed. And that he can alternate given he has three people offering so far to help him.]

From:

devilgod

Promise? {Don't make him pull out a pinky swear, mister.}

From:

babeldom

I promise.

[At least if the other gets suspicious as to how long he goes without feeding, he can reassure him that he's having help from others as well. That and if he really were being that stubborn about it, Vanitas would surely do something to help.]

From:

devilgod

Very well. I will wait. {And if it goes on for too long, he will be checking.}

From:

babeldom

I've also had Vincent and Aether offer, too. So. I won't just have to rely on one person. I won't need to take too much.

[Just in case the other worries. He wants to reassure him.]

From:

devilgod

It's good that you have options. Sparing a little blood won't hurt anyone. {They have bigger fish to fry considering the changes he has begun to notice.}

I don't know either of them.

From:

babeldom

Yes. I'm lucky to have so many willing to help me with this.

[He says, relieved to have that support, even if he isn't glad of having to ask for it in the first place. To need it. Given that back home, he didn't need to feed, merely the desire to occasionally, but it wasn't actually necessary.]

The main thing is that you know I have support. So you don't need to worry if it's been a while before I feed from you, since I probably had one of them help me as well.

From:

devilgod

With the rate I am changing, I do hope you hunger for birds. {A...joke. Mostly.} Ravens or crows specifically. I might be able to fly if I gain enough feathers.

{And his bones become...hollow? That won't be good.}

From:

babeldom

Birds? Oh. That's your....your soul?

[It seemed like there was quite a variety. He's still figuring it out and learning more about this, having only been here for one month yet.]

From:

devilgod

Apparently. Some sort of blackbird. A raven or a crow, I think.

{He has been around for about that amount of time, but he had a connection to birds beforehand.}

From:

babeldom

There are a lot of different varieties with all these souls. I guess it isn't surprising that some might be birds.

[That would be kind of amazing. To be able to maybe fly? Even just manipulating the World Formula enough to stand on the wall or ceiling has him nauseous. But. Well. All transformations would have their less desirable aspects, too.]

From:

devilgod

I don't know all of the possibilities, but mine is obvious even without the dream I had.

{Flying would be nice. He has experience flying without wings, so why not try it the more "natural" way?}

From:

babeldom

Birds, ah, flying? That would be pretty amazing....!

[Because, of course, the vampire just thinks of the potential. The positives. Things that wouldn't usually be possible if not for their transformations.]

From:

devilgod

There must be limits. Once I can, I will fly as high and as far as I can, but I suspect I will encounter a barrier.

{That seems on brand with their new "home".}

From:

babeldom

A barrier? Like a dome? To stop us from escaping....maybe. I'm not sure it would be that simple, no.

From:

devilgod

They won't let us escape. Wings won't give us freedom, they have surely thought of that in our containment.

From:

babeldom

Maybe. We won't know unless we try. But probably, those who have been here longer have likely already attempted. It can't hurt to ask, to check. Just in case.

[He hasn't been here that long. But he wonders, figures there's a chance others might have attempted to flee by flying off. Not that he is sure where they would go. How they might get back home.]

From:

devilgod

I will try regardless if given a chance. {Why rely on the words of others?} I've been thinking about it and compared to others, I have far less to lose.
