[Naoki just smiles and shrugs his shoulder.] I know if anything like that ever happened to me, I wouldn't want someone to have just taken me away somewhere.
[Good, he gets it right away-- sometimes, well, the reactions can vary. Naoki doesn't blame anyone for being puzzled by it, his reaction would probably be the same if he were back to his normal human self.]
[To say that that question doesn't cause his chest to lurch would be a lie. Naoki's eyes have gone a little wide and he looks at Sayo before turning his face.] Well...
[He tries, to keep his tone purposefully light, as though he's not thinking about everything that came of what he become. The people who died. His failure to save them.] Sometimes, I guess I do. But I can't change that it did.
[He watches Naoki and hear his response. The answer that he sometimes wished otherwise, but it still happened in the past.
Sayo had similiar thoughts about it before, whenever he's not continuously haunted.]
...Yes, you can't change the past. [It's the unspoken rule in the army. Preserve history, never change it.] I... don't have any other questions, Naoki-san.
[Naoki finds his smile again after a moment, his shoulders rising and falling in another careless gesture. If he could shrug off the feelings about his past...
Ahh, dark thoughts. Back to the present, Naoki, he tells himself.]

...Very well. But I won't be lenient if that person is guilty next time.
no subject
[But for now, a light nod in approval.]
no subject
...Thank you.
[For the aid and all that.]
no subject
You're welcome? I didn't do much, though.
no subject
[The fact that Naoki just brought him to a chair, and nothing else, is a point in his favour.]
no subject
[Naoki just smiles and shrugs his shoulder.] I know if anything like that ever happened to me, I wouldn't want someone to have just taken me away somewhere.
no subject
[He doesn't sound happy about that thought. Personal experience can be a pain. He looks at Naoki, up and down to take in his features.
Are those lines glowing?]
no subject
I haven't had it happen to me, so I'll take your word for it.
[He smiles, though.] But you're safe right now.
no subject
You're not human, are you?
[Like, straight out asking.]
no subject
But, my body isn't. I've got a demon's body.
no subject
[Which isn't that odd. There's all sorts of stories of people transforming into demons or spirits. So... demon body, human...soul?]
no subject

no subject
[Thinking, thinking... Nnnope, he doesn't quite know what a parasite is.]
Is it like... being possessed?
no subject
For me, sorta. The parasite-- well, it's called a magatama. It's the very essence of a demon. So it can change even humans into one.
no subject
A demon's essence changing a human... Wouldn't that be dangerous?
no subject
[He runs one of his hands absently down the opposing forearm, his fingertips tapping his tattoos.] It did hurt a lot.

You can just call me Naoki, if you want.
no subject
[It feels rather personal for him to use, but if that's what Naoki wants. Sayo doesn't want to waste time on arguing it.]
