[ he knows he needs to approach these questions carefully, but he's also not going to overthink it too much. he is a freak and a weirdo at his core and he must embrace that part of him... ]
Those are two different questions. [ kaiser doesn't get happy about anything, so there's that... ] I care about you, in the sense that I want you to be well and do what fulfills you...
[ he sluggishly slaps his hand over the wound, applying pressure to stem the bleeding. this is not exactly sanitary, but whatever, if it doesn't kill him, then it'll make him stronger. ]
( - if it doesn't kill him, then it'll make him stronger.
and the same could be said about milk! )
I'll take care of you, it has to be easy... Hm.
( there's enough confidence in her voice as she leans to the side to look up at kaiser. as long as he doesn't seem to be crying this can go pretty well. moving closer to the sink, she turns the knob so water runs, and with the showerhead attached to the faucet, it makes this easier to actually do his hair.
she wouldn't put him in the position where he bumps his head under the faucet piece, i know that pain all too well. )
If you stay with me forever and ever... I think I will be well. I'd be sick without you.
[ the milk has already made him strong enough, at this point kaiser would just shrug and continue scrolling on his phone if somebody grabbed him by the pussy, isn't that mental strength? :/ ]
Won't you live much longer than me? You'll have to carry around my bones and ashes after I die. I give you permission, as long as I die a natural death.
[ he's okay with it... he has accepted his mortality, but has she? kaiser won't cry over a little pain and bleeding, so it's only fair if she does the same.
the angle is a little awkward, but kaiser doesn't mind either way — he stretches back, resting his neck against the edge of the sink to place his head over the sink as best as he can manage. he closes his eyes so that soap doesn't get into them, and his breathing slows slightly as the water runs through his hair. ]
( it's a quick swipe, her palm coming to the back of his head, and this is probably going to hurt considering she doesn't realize her strength sometimes. he won't die, but he might get a headache for making such a claim.
that isn't unfamiliar to her. )
Quit it.
( his words feel targeted, too catered to her own past that she removes herself from the situation. with a shake of her head, she'll repeat what he said to her before. )
You can read the directions on the back of the bottle.
( carrying bones, toting ashes, it's not like she doesn't, but sometimes there are things she likes to forget. the little connection she has the better she can find a place for herself, but the reminder clicks in her mind, and she grows fickle on wanting to do anything despite his head already leaning over the sink. )
[ it's alright, kaiser is used to getting hit on the head. he thinks people really don't appreciate enough how brain damaged he could've been? ]
You're being too rough with me...
[ his eyes are still closed, but he opens one of his eyes just a tiny bit. he knows he's upset her, and he did it on purpose, but he thinks he can make it better... perhaps! ]
... But I want you to do it for me. Won't you?
[ pwease? he's so cute. he's like a splintercat, he's adorable and she wants to train him with a 1.15x multiplier on efficiency. ]
( splintercat would never say that to her, it would just do a few cute tricks and go mind its business like most cats.
what is his game? she doesn't want to deal with him because she is too fickle much like her favored creatures. )
...
( it's called silent treatment, not only is it silent treatment, she's standing off to the side with her arms crossed over her chest, and pouting. offended, she's so offended he would do that to her, and yet her heart aches only very briefly. )
I won't.
( she doesn't have to give him anything when he's dead. )
Humans don't live forever. For every human I've made a connection with, I'd have to carry their bones.
[ do you know how many that would be? too many to warrant that she should do something like that. does it make sense to her to do that for him? what makes him different from others even if he's a cute splinter cat who wants to be washed and beat on, that doesn't mean she has to be the one who does it. ]
[ he doesn't have... friends! yucky! he's an independent young splintercat, who can wash his own hair, but he wants nala to do it for him. ]
... Anyways, what's the problem? If we spend more time with each other, then my bones will become more important to you. There's no problem with that, is there?
Don't act daft! The one that acts like your dog. He can carry your bones.
( don't trick her, she's not that dumb... she likes to think, but it's obvious that nets or whatever his name is happens to be kaiser's friend. she bets that the boy would even do his hair if he asked. )
I could go through your phone and even call him for you.
( now he's trying to be mean... noncon those bones onto her, she doesn't want them! )
[ he's just a poor stray... but stay tuned. ness took the break-up surprisingly well and seems to be moving on... someday he'll be able to look upon the days that he dated his first insane abusive girlfriend and smile fondly at the unhinged memories... ]
I don't have any friends, so you should stay with me.
[ doesn't she feel BAD? for her poor friendless mutated splintercat? this is literally him. ]
( she can move on to better fields where they aren't untrained or mutated, but he really is like a splintercat that she can't help but try and peek at him in hopes that he doesn't see her doing so. )
Finding a home is very hard. That's why you need to find one for yourself.
( he does have it in him to make her feel bad as she finally turns around, walking over to place one hand on top of his head. her claws scratch at the scalp gently before she starts to part his hair down the middle. )
[ well, hallucinated kaiser and then flipped out when his hallucination turned out to actually be somebody else. so. um. not quite. kind of? i don't know man.
also, wow? he's an excellent 1000/1000/1000 rare mutated splintercat who is perfect and cannot possibly get any better! ]
Oh my, and you won't help me even a little bit?
[ they can find a home together. :(
but he's happy that she's spoiling him again, even if her claws are a little rougher than they really need to be. kaiser's used to rough treatment, though, so he doesn't mind too much, just relaxing into the touch and allowing her to do as she pleases. ]
( that bum can't do anything right. he let me down.
mutation is meant to grow and get better, if he cannot excel then he is not the ultimate lifeform! )
You can do that! I have to think about what I need to do! Are you expecting me to give up my wants for yours?
( probably, but nala doesn't know better because kaiser is so starved that he's practically dying. the most she can do is his hair since he's unable to, she's like an owner with a cat that actually loves the bath... she watches with interest before grabbing the showerhead to hold above his. )
[ dwbi he let me down too. i fucking hate blue lock
also sheesh, it's not like he wants to be shadow the hedgehog... unless... hm? ..... ]
I can give some things up for you, and you can give some things up for me. That way it's equal, isn't it?
[ also, can't a cat enjoy the bath? kaiser actually really likes being clean in general; it's not as if he'll freak out if dirty, it's just something he considers a nice luxury. he tilts his head further into the sink, closing his eyes so that she can rinse the shampoo out as she pleases. ]
hmmmmm. can kaiser be twice the hedge that the hog is.. )
You can, but doesn't mean you have! What have you given me that no one has?
( like how shadow gave his revenge to kill humans for maria, what will kaiser kill, who will he kill... things like this are important. his hair will be so bubbly with soap that she even pops a few between her fingers with a smile. fangs clearly visible as though this is a luxury.
[ kaiser is not a man, first of all. he's something far worse. ]
Mmm... is there anything that you want me to give you? I have something in mind, but...
[ he can defer to her wants. unless it's her setting him up on a blind date... he doesn't want that. he's a strong independent splintercat who goes to work in da critter factory all on his own.
but he listens to his trainer, so he'll tilt his head accordingly. :) ]
( let's see, he has something he can give her which does sound interesting enough that she's peeking at him from the side. )
What do you have in mind? It can't be anything that'll upset me.
( he should know by now that all that upsets her is when things don't go her way or she's blamed for being wrong, as things stand with kaiser... he never really blames her so she feels inclined to ask what he has up his sleeve. )
[ or his friend, or his anything really!! and not even his disappointment, because the only person kaiser really gets disappointed in his himself — nobody else is worth the effort. ]
I'll give you a flower, special from my garden. There won't be any other like it in the world.
[ impossible flowers, grown specially by the blue rose himself. he can make one just for nala, something that has never existed before, and will only continue to exist if she wants it to. ]
( isn't that his friend, do you know how hard it was for nala to get friends? maybe kaiser has it hard compared to her because well, look at him, people are probably nervous to even strike up conversation. )
You have a garden?
( this is where she's a little skeptical, he does labor? he can't even wash his hair without her doing it. )
Um... what's it like? Do you grow only special things... are you born from the garden?
Um... more or less. I only grow what interests me, when I feel like it. [ god, he wishes he were born from the garden. what he would give to have been an immaculate conception... ] Roses, mostly... ones with special colors, or particular scents. I've never made one for somebody else before, so it would be extra special. Right?
[ right? right? she has to admit! he is good at making these things in da critter factories... but he gets mood consumption +30%, it's his splintercat debuff. ]
