Kid didn’t pull away, but did raise an eyebrow at the other suddenly moving closer to whisper something to him. At the words, though, he let out a small laugh and turned to look at her.
“Hmm…. It can be a lie. But it can also be turned into truth. Hope is wishing for something, so there’s no guarantee that what you want will always happen. But even if the outcome doesn’t seem likely to happen, is holding on to a small lie so bad?”
“I bet even the adept mind of a magician such as yourself is grounded in what normal people consider reality and the not possibility of old fables and myths.”She grew tense when he slipped his hands into his pockets, making sure to be ready to bolt of she needed to. Who knew what sort of tricks he could have prepared. Perhaps testing the waters was a bad idea… but she’d heard he was elusive and thought it best to take the chance.
“I wouldn’t expect you to see it, considering a parasite typically can’t be seen in their host.” She said. “If you had noticed I would have been impressed.”
And even more wary than she already was, this was possibly one of the worse ideas she had in a long time.
…Parasite?
“…I suppose that’s true. Real magic or something supernatural isn’t the first thing to come to mind… But I’d like to think I’m at least more accepting of the fact that they are a possibility than most…”
The sudden tension didn’t go unnoticed. Which had him somewhat curious. She seemed to be heavily implicating that she really was a ‘monster’, both creature-wise and personality wise… But the only things she’d really done so far was give a few unnerving comments and grin. So at the very least, she didn’t seem to be of the offensive nature. Not in the same way most would think of monsters, in any case.
“Since you appear to be hinting at what you are, may I just ask outright? Or in what way you’re a ‘parasite’? I assume that by host, you’ve taken control of that body in some way, but I’d be interested to learn how… Only if you want to, of course.”
