Disconnected (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)

[Jikkah]

Megohime shook her head, holding up her hands. “No, no! I’m not upset..!” Her face flushed red. “It’s just... embarrassing..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"There's no need to be embarrassed." He told her, "No one will judge you.."

 

[Jikkah]

“That’s not why I’m embarrassed..” She said, rubbing the back of her neck.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He tilted his head, "Then why?"

 

[Jikkah]

“I’m like a house pet.” She muttered, letting her arm drop to her side. “I’ve got clipped wings and I’m trained to jump through hoops..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He didn't really know how to respond to that. "You're no pet. " He said.

 

[Jikkah]

“I know that I’m not.. But it all feels so much like it.. I’m just the canary that got out and has a little bit a freedom before it dies.. ya know? What if I wasn’t meant to be free..” She said softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He moved over and sat beside her, "It will feel like that for a while. But you'll be alright. I won't let anything happen to you."

 

[Jikkah]

Her cheeks burned red again, and she had to look away from him again; Masamune was always so dazzling in her eyes, it made it hard to look at him sometimes. “You sound so sure.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"That's because I am, apostle." He smirked, "Why would I not be?"

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime didn’t really have an answer, she had seen firsthand how powerful he was- he was a god after all. She let out a groan and sat back, leaning her weight on her hands behind her as she looked up at the hole in the cave ceiling. “Because you’re not actually an all-powerful god?” She teased.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He squinted playfully, "You've caught me in my lie, how awful."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime let out a snort, looking over at him. “You know, as a god, I really thought you’d be scarier.. Ah, not that I don’t think your not godly or anything, I’m sure you can be plenty scary, you just..” She let out a breath. “You’re much nicer than I thought you’d be.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I'm sure the humans made me out to be far more evil than I actually am.." He said.

 

[Jikkah]

“Horrible, actually. Murderers, devils, you even eat babies in some stories.” She said matter of fact, but it was clear she believed none of it.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He hummed, "Maybe once upon a time. But not anymore."

 

[Jikkah]

“What, get tired of the taste?” She said with a small snicker, a slight smile on her face, red eyes showing her delight in the banter.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I find that humans taste worse and worse through the ages~" He grinned.

 

[Jikkah]

“You’re so full of it..!” She laughed, then looked at him. “You are joking, right?” She asked.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He gave her a knowing smile before grinning, "Of course, I've never eaten a human in my life.."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime was silent for a moment. “I once bit off an instructors finger.” She snorted, then laughed. “It didn’t taste very good though, so I spit it out..!”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I've heard from others that humans are unpalatable...there is one I have not seen in a while, he lives in the sea...he used to resort to eating humans to survive and it always filled him with guilt.." He said.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime blinked and stared at him. “Gods who lived in the sea? I’ve never heard of that..” She said thoughtfully, keeping her eyes transfixed on him as he spoke. The part about eating humans didn’t much startle her, only surprised her that at least part of the awful stories she had been told were true.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Do you like it here?" He asked, "Are you treated well?"

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime was a bit caught off guard, looking to Masamune. “Of course! It’s amazing here, and everyone is kind..!” She tilted her head. “Why do you ask?”
