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?”

She couldn’t taste anything, no fear or worry. Either it was too weak for her to taste or he really didn’t care.

“If you wanted to posses me, you had an easy opportunity earlier, so, no, I’m not very worried. And if you have permission to use her body, I have to wonder just how much of a ‘monster’ you are. Parasites are supposed to be harmful to their hosts, so it’s strange that someone would willingly allow one to stay…”
