How offended would you be if I asked if you were a devil? Because, like, it's not meant as an insult. But I could totally see someone getting upset if they weren't.

[bestials]

I would be... A little insulted, yes. [ which he would not have admitted if he wasn't being forced to be honest. ] But then I would calmly explain to you that I'm just a mutant. And I'm not even the most devil-looking mutant out there.

[ RIP, Azazel. You were a real dick. ]

[wingstosee]

Oh, definitely not. But I'm not the most devil-looking devil either, so like. You know? It doesn't always work like that.

Also, thanks for answering my second question? Since it was definitely going to be "are you a devil."

[bestials]

I sort of felt like the first question deserved an explanation in and of itself.

So... You're a devil? An actual, Christian, from hell devil?

[wingstosee]

Oh. Yeah? Like, it's a little more complicated than that, but. Devil's definitely the right word for it. I let the devil into my heart and now she's me and I'm her. It's sort of a, um- avatar? An avatar. I think that's the right word for it.

[bestials]

Okay. I think I understand that. [ Still not convinced she's not actually a mutant, or that this "devil" is a mutant, but just because he's being honest doesn't mean he's going to be rude. ]

Does it still bother you when people stare?

[bestials]

I don't think it'll ever stop bothering me.

[morethan084]

I'm sorry.

[bestials]

It's not your fault.

It's really that hard to believe that someone finds you attractive?

[bestials]

I know someone does. Maybe multiple someones. [ Thanks, Erik. ]

I just don't understand why.

[episodically]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[bestials]

Sure, I suppose so.

[personify]

Do you still think my blonde form is more beautiful than my real one?

[bestials]

I think you're beautiful, no matter what.

[ Circumventing the rules slightly by giving an answer that's technically true, but not actually answering the question she asked. ]

[personify]

That's something, I suppose. But not what I asked. No need to actually answer my question. What you've said is answer enough.

[Namely, he'd had to avoid the truth by saying something different. Which didn't make it too terribly hard to assume the truth.]

[bestials]

I just meant that, given the societal standards of beauty, your natural form and my mutated form... They're just never going to be considered more "beaufitul" than our more "normal" appearances.

[personify]

I don't care about societal standards, Hank. I was talking about you. What you find beautiful.

Or do you only prefer what you're told you should?

[bestials]

I find you beautiful! I find competence beautiful. I find beautiful a woman who has a strong sense of self, who can smile at me and make me feel like maybe I'm worth something.

[personify]

[That's... well. It takes her some amount of time to actually form words enough to respond to that.]

You are worth something, Hank.

Maybe more than I can ever give you.

[bestials]

You would know what you're capable of giving better than I would.
