[a day that jiho will never forget. maybe they had a Moment he was trying to murder him. jiho watches him, as much trying to figure out what the problem is as anything.
he didn't know that he was capable of making anyone blush either. maybe they'll both learn something.]
So...you think someone important turned you into this?
[jiho frowns into his cup. if that's the case, maybe they are still around.]
[ for a moment, Rook doesn't answer that. is quiet as he sips his tea and looks at Jiho. thinks about what he knows of him and the questions he asks and what it can mean overall, but--
Rook isn't one to lie.
he hums and looks into the tea, feet kicking back and forth a little as he speaks. ]
I don't know who made the decision that I became a demon, made the deal or spell or judgement call, but I know which demon worked it out. [ woke up on the icy floor of Dis with no real memories at the time and a fire under his skin that burned.] I don't suggest seeking out the Leviathan though, Candy Crush. Only one being can kill him, and she's missing.
[so he does remember something. jiho wonders if rook doesn't actually remember more than he's letting on, in part because he'd rather just forget.
rook isn't wrong about knowing jiho's thoughts. but for now it's just a fantasy more than anything. if he ever actually found a way to get at them - well, then that might be something to worry about.]
Leviathan. [jiho snorts at that name.] I met a guy once who called himself Mr. Big. Guys with names like that, they're always overcompensating. ["mr. big" wasn't, and he wonders if this is leviathan is as unkillable as rook believes he is.]
Do you know what animal is the most deadly? [he looks at the demon, cheek resting against his fist.] It might surprise you. It's mosquitoes. Tiny little annoying things like me.
[ he remembers waking up in Hell, but human life and things that lead to his being damned, those are kept from him. maybe he will learn of them eventually but-- not now. he does snort though, at the connection to mister Big.]
...ah, he is the Leviathan, Jiho. The giant sea serpent that will writhe and boil the seas at the end of time.
[ a pause. ]
Apparently.
[ though he is sure that he is as immortal as he has been told, he has seen the damage that he can take, knows what he is capable of. still, not important. especially not when he chokes on laughter.]
I wouldn't-- [ sputter ] You're not annoying, at all.
[okay, but fuck whey didn't he see that coming. the tea starts to go down the wrong pipe, and jiho saves himself before bursting into a coughing fit, but he still has to clear his throat.
jiho glances his way, feeling a little...annoyed. flustered. something that puts a shade of color lighter than his hair on his face.]
You'd enjoy it too much. [that's it, jiho. pull yourself back together. get back in the game.] Next thing you'd want me to be sucking from you all the time.
[ no idea, but Rook looks almost concerned for a moment before he just looks a little smug behind his mug of deliciously made tea.]
Mmmhmmm, I mean biting can be enjoyable in the right instances. But only if all the parties are into it, same with the sucking.
[ they should... probably get off this topic shouldn't they. hm. ]
I really should get you an angelic blade if I can find one, though you would have to promise not to stab me with it since it would kill me. [ pause. ] Pretty sure it could do considerable damage to Ros too.

[and this is the same attitude he would give the leviathan himself, irreverent to the beast's face because that's just the kind of asshole he is.
which is why rook's laughter and words surprise him. jiho arches a brow.]
Come on, I haven't been that nice to you.
no subject
the smirk on his face is probably warning enough about how ridiculous his words are about to be but-- well he doesn't care.]
Mmm, you also haven't bitten me, what kind of terrible mosquito are you huh?
[ close calls with knives don't count at all. gotta be teeth okay. and really, he says it just to see the look on Jiho's face.]
