[...and that history is a large part of the reason he can only hold himself back a few minutes before adding:]

But just to check, you still haven't told anyone else about that whole thing, right? With me?

[feytality]

you too thanks for the gifts! 😊😊😊😊 [ a knife was a very bad idea to give maya but the cookies were sweet ] im glad you liked them!


of course not it's our secret!

but you know i dont think people would be that weirded out
i mean we all have to drink giant jellyfish juice when we start off here so
idk i dont think you need to be so shy

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael has given out more than one bad idea knife. It's fine.]

It's really not comparable.

[feytality]

[ it's not fine when they're all dying from self-inflicted knife wounds!! ]

i think everyone has seen weirder things by now i don't think they'd mind that much

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael assumes the best of people! Like, baseline competence with knives!]

Demons see a bunch of gross stuff, too. They don't stop being gross.

[feytality]

[ he's a fool ]

i don't think you're THAT gross

humans are kind of gross too

you're in good company

[eudaimonikos]

Well

You ARE

But I think there's some significant differences.

[feytality]

[ wow michael don't agree so easily ]

maybe!!

but i dont think anyone would have that big of a problem with your squidliness

and if they do i'll straighten them out (ง •̀_•́)ง

[eudaimonikos]

[What, she's the one who put it out there]

Really? It doesn't seem worth all that.

[feytality]

youre my friend! so its my duty to take squid racists down a peg!

[eudaimonikos]

[Oh, that's...weirdly touching, actually? Michael's never really imagined anyone standing by him after seeing that, much less defending him. At the same time, though, it's almost a little uncomfortable. It doesn't feel right. Like maybe she didn't really see him at all.]

I don't know if it's racism.

[feytality]

[ she's just a loyal weirdo and balance has made her worse ]

if they're discriminating based on squidly things it's definitely racism!!

[eudaimonikos]

It's MAYBE speciesism.
If that's a word.

[Even that doesn't feel right. It's not some big awful -ism, it's just people using their eyes, noses, and common sense.]

But it's not like they would be WRONG.
