Is black the opposite of green? Guess I don't know my colours.
[ Womp womp, the best he knows are traffic lights.
He readjusts the hold on his cross though, belts digging into the joints of his fingers, and he looks steadily at Count D. His expression is pretty simple and nonchalant, and yet at the same time, there's nothing to be read from it. ]
[The sass. He makes a face which then smooths out into something a little softer.]
Then I would hope you'd give yourself more credit. I refuse to offer you recommendations or a pet of any kind if you can't at least pretend like you have experience caring for something.
Thanks for the call of faith, but pretty sure I'm just not fit for it.
[ He's a failure, you understand. He can't protect a thing if it keeps slipping between his fingers, if he has to claw his way to get there, if he can't look at it in the eyes. Pets are an equal relationship, it sounds like, and Wolfwood is far below. ]
I'll keep your advice in mind though, if this afterlife is treating me with spare time. Who knows, maybe I'll even have a change of heart while we're all still here.
Maybe you will. You'll return a changed man with a second chance.
[His smile is amused. He turns demurely away with T-chan, but then pauses and looks over his shoulder, sizing Wolfwood up as a whole. T-chan also looks over D's shoulder at Wolfwood.]

Good luck, Mr. Priest.

You too, Count.
[ It's about the closest he's gotten to actually calling someone by name so far... good job... ]
