"You're not, I am sorry to say."
( Tipping his head back in mock exhaustion . )
" I REALLY thought I was better at lying . "
( Though he's being a bit dramatic , his frown in geniune . An unpleasant foreign feeling of not belonging . )

( a moment of quiet, looking very surprised. Then waving one hand in dismissal , a jingle of his bells . )
" pssh, no ! Of course not. Cicero is around people all the time ! "
( this is of course not convincing . )
" pssh, no ! Of course not. Cicero is around people all the time ! "

Looking at him intently for a moment.
"You are just as lonely as I am."

" I don't have much else to do . "
( A Chuckle and a shrug . Hiding that he'll be emotionally crippled if he ever gets separated from the other . He's a rather clingy person . )

"Of course I can! It may not be as easy, though. Painting, like any art, takes time to refine."

" Would you uhm.. would you.. uh.. "
( He wavers for a moment. Unsure how to voice his thoughts. He hadn't been geniune in so long , and the other was so kind to him. It was hard not to latch on . )
" Would you teach me how to paint ? Like you do ? "

" Like it ? I LOVE it . "
( Only breaking away from the painting to look him in the eye. )
( Cicero had been in the homes of plenty of nobles. For staking or for assassination . But he had never seen any painting with such a geniune quality to them. It was lovely. For lack of a better word. )

"You like it?"
Smiling, looking over his work again.
"It's all i do to feel normal again.. but it's also relaxing."

( blue eyes widening a bit. Very gently touching one. )
" Oh wow.. "
( His voice is much softer. Seeming to be genuinely rapt by the artwork . )
" It's beautiful , friend. "

Perking up a bit.
"Yes, of course! I never thought you'd ask.."
Taking out a few preserved canvases that he had stowed away in a pocket dimension.
They all seem to have a theme of warmth and the sun.

" Can I see one of yer paintings ? "

"Oh, you simply MUST try it! it's so very relaxing."

( Thinking about that. )
" I have never painted before . I don't think I.. have a hobby . "

( He looks unsure at this. )
" Is it exciting ? What do you paint ? "
" Is it exciting ? What do you paint ? "
"Painting is a hobby."

"Hobbies. I like to paint."
August 28, 2025 at 6:41 PM
"Painting is a hobby."
"Hobbies. I like to paint."
" Well .. I mean . What else would I do if I'm not killing ? "
Seems Neth didn't like that answer either.
"You didn't confirm?"
"You didn't confirm?"

"You didn't confirm?"
"You didn't confirm?"
" Well I dunno . "
( More fidgeting. He wasn't sure of himself , and that was a foreign and uncomfortable feeling. )
" They just tell me the person needs killin' and I do it. "

( Reaching up to touch one of his bells. It had been a long time since he spoke to someone outside his group. He had sort of forgotten that assassin wasn't exactly a normal job . )

( Nodding . )
Mhm ! I'm a assassin . I'm so good at it. You should see me some time.
( Thinking . A jingle as he shakes his head. )
On second thought. Maybe you shouldn't.

"You.. get paid to do it?"

"An assassin.. so you.. go after bad guys?"
"You.. get paid to do it?"
" But I get paid to do it, and I don't do anything else . "
"Because hurting is wrong.."
Making a pouty face at him.

( Immediately looking like a kicked dog , partly theatrical. You don't get into the jester business without being dramatic. )
" NO ! Not DISAPPROVAL from my BESTEST FRIEND !! WHY !? "

"Why do you do that.. are you forced as well?"
August 28, 2025 at 5:08 PM
Making a face at him.
"Why do you do that.. are you forced as well?"
" You don't have to . I can do that . You can be the nice one . "
( Nodding now. )
" I think you'd be good at being the nice one . )
( Nodding now. )
" I think you'd be good at being the nice one . )
Looking a tad frightened by this revelation.
"I don't WANT to hurt anymore..."
"I don't WANT to hurt anymore..."

Does it matter? He still has foggy memories of a girl, a princess. They seemed so happy together. But any kind of feelings he might've had for her vanished along with his memories.
"I.. suppose not. Who i am now is but a fragment of who I once was. Perhaps I can repurpose it."

( Thinking for a moment. Biting his lip. )
" I think I understand . "

"Not like that, dead as in... the old me is gone. The things I have seen.. the deeds I have done. It is no longer me. Who am i really?"
