A Welcome Change to the Menu

[Alex squints up into the light filtering down between the leaves of the trees around him, looking for the bird he'd just heard making an unfamiliar call. When he fails to find it after a moment, he gives up and returns to the task at hand.]


...Which happens to be the butchering of a skinned and gutted deer carcass hanging from a tree. His hands have become enormous, wickedly sharp claws, which he uses to cleanly slice off pieces of the animal. He's been hard at work for some time, judging by the pile of fresh, cleanly-sliced venison set on a nearby boulder. Still, there's a lot of work left to do, a lot of meat still left on the carcass. Surely more than one person could reasonably finish before it spoiled, right...?

Something else moves in the forest, snapping a twig or perhaps just rustling some bushes a bit loudly. He pauses again to search for the "visitor."]

Haha, I don't eat that garbage. [He casually sits down on the branch.]

Pyrrha does all the cooking. Uh--I mean, that's not to say I don't help. [He's not THAT bad.]

[Well, at least it's the hair and not his arm you're bringing up.]

Tch. I actually gut things, for your information. [He raises his covered Devil Bringer, looking at it thoughtfully.]

Somebody's gotta do the dirty work, after all.
holydemon: (ignoring you)

Yeah, but you can't cook if your food's not prepared. [He's helpful shut up.]

[He rolls his eyes.] You know what, I'm really sick of answering that question. So I'm going to pass.

[Nero curls a lip up at Alex, obviously finding something real disgusting about his latest question.]

That's pretty rude, coming from a freak like you. At least only one of my arms is worth running away in tears from.
holydemon: (RRUGUHhhhh fight)

[personal profile] holydemon 2013-08-26 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Sensitive? Watch it. [Although even as he says it, his Devil Bringer tenses, as if he were suddenly nervous about having it out.]

The only thing sensitive here would be your ass after I kick it.

[He didn't want a clear advantage...he stuck out with such a freakish arm! He's just glad nobody from back home is around to see him right now.]

[Nero settles back again, but his irritation is hardly quelled so easily.]

Who the hell would be happy about this? [He mumbles bitterly] It's a curse...
holydemon: (ignoring you)

[personal profile] holydemon 2013-08-27 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. It's easy for you to say; you can hide it. You don't have to walk around with a flashing neon sign of an arm that screams out the fact you're not hu--

[Nero cuts himself off. Sure, he knew somewhere inside that that was the case, but he'd never said it outloud.

And he wasn't about to start now. This guy was just pissing him off, and now the claws of his Devil Bringer were digging so furiously into the tree trunk that it started to crack.]
holydemon: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] holydemon 2013-08-29 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph. [Nero wasn't impressed, and he was far too stubborn to maybe submit to the fact that Alex was right. He still felt like he had to hide himself.]

Am I supposed to be happy for you or something? [He jumps down from the tree.]
holydemon: (ignoring you)

[personal profile] holydemon 2013-08-30 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, I don't need your advice.

[Nero turns, planning to make his exit.]
