[The white patch beneath his eye feels too noticeable, and Darkleer knows for a fact that it looks too noticeable against the dark gray of his skin and beneath the blackness of his glasses- yet another cheap pair.]

[But he does his best to ignore it and simply waits near the entrance of the Nostalgia Quarter, waiting for a certain young cerulean-blooded troll to find her way there.]

Correct.

[...This seems like a moment to intervene with the slow destruction of the table by sliding another sugar packet towards her.]

At least you do not have a habit of breaking into my hive at bizarre hours of the evening to demand breakfast. That is pleasant.

[f8tal]

[Ah good, more things for her to shred.]

You must be pretty good at cooking for her to even bother forcing you to make her breakfast!

[aim_exorable]

[Darkleer is utterly deadpan.]

I knew how to make waffles and pancakes and nothing else. I think she just liked the challenge of breaking into my hive.

[f8tal]

That's more than what Zahhak can make. He's a shitty cook.

[aim_exorable]

[Maybe a faint smile that's gone as soon as it appears.]

I've noticed.

I usually find it better to cook for myself. Not only is it a useful skill for a highblood to have, but there are few trolls which share my particular diet.

[f8tal]

What kind of diet is that? [She stops in her destruction to lean back against the booth, arms folded across her stomach loosely.]

[aim_exorable]

No meat.

[And that sounds simple enough until one realizes just how much meat they normally devour in a day.]

[f8tal]

[You've earned yourself a stare, Darkleer.] What? Why wouldn't you eat meat?

[aim_exorable]

[He gets that response all the time. He's desensitized to it.]

I've found myself preferring animals over people a great many times, along with a few other reasons.

[f8tal]

And what are those reasons? [Nosy nosy.]

[aim_exorable]

Animals aren't quite as complex as trolls can be, for one thing.

[f8tal]

You must get along with Pupa then, huh?

[aim_exorable]

Pupa?

[Blink. Eyebrow raise.]

[f8tal]

Tavros! [Ah nicknames...]

[aim_exorable]

Ah.

We get on decently, I suppose. [He did make him a mechanical Tinkerbull, after all.]
