Lapines and rodents are typical creatures used in projects such as that, yes. They're cute, something which would entice humans to care for them.
[It's okay to admit that you like Leon. He loves cute animals.]
They are a type of crab which makes its home within empty shells. When not handled carefully, they are willing to snap their claws into flesh just as any crustacean would.
Is this truly the conversation of men? A dark lord has no need for "liking" girls. There are some mortals I am more tolerant of than others, but this has nothing to do with personal feelings such as that. It is out of a respect for their power that I continue to seek council with them.
[Leon Gundam probably isn't the kind of guy you want to discuss this with. At least not without better defining "like".]
[Maybe this really is like a magazine personality quiz. "What kind of pet would you rather have?" Yeah, that's a legit kind of question. It's just that Gundam's quiz was written for some crazy parallel world magazine.]
Oh maaaan, you're sayin' Hinata's a five out of thousands? That's so cold!
[BUT HILARIOUS. Leon laughs; this is a pretty good diversion from everything else. And man, has he needed it, after a couple days in mostly-solitude, except for the one trip to Togami's. Togami has never in his life cheered anyone up.]
But you can touch him! Maybe you're kinda like a hermit crab yourself, huh?
[It takes him a few moments to answer this, mostly because he's trying to decide if he should give a name or tell him it doesn't matter. Because, really, it doesn't...she's not here. He's comatose back home...
But that would be disrespectful to her.]
Sonia Nevermind. CERES has not yet brought her here, however, and hopefully it remains that way.
Hah. It's not so much that I may compare with a hermit crab - [You're lucky he likes you enough not to take offense to that. Or well, only slight offense. That smile looks just as much like he wants to punch you as it looks amused.] - but that he possesses a rare quality that allows him to withstand the poison in my veins. To date, he is the only human I have met that has this trait.
I'm tellin' you, you've just gotta touch more people.
[The urge to throw an arm around him is so strong right now. Operation Touch Tanaka Gundam is officially the most homosexual operation Leon has ever been involved in, but also, extremely important.
He doesn't, though, his arm draped over the couch instead.]
I dunno, man, I bet if you had a shell you'd be in it like fifty percent of the time!
[Excuse the delay in reply, Leon. This is kind of a sad topic for him.]
Why wouldn't I? This infernal place is just as capable of stealing her away from home as it is myself or any other of our classmates. She is not the sort of woman to hand your affection to, only to give that same affection to someone else simply because she isn't around. And there's no saying anything would come of it if she does arrive, but there's no point in seeking companionship in another here either. It would only end in lonesomeness if either of us were to disappear, and I wouldn't allow them to join me once we discern a way to return home.
[And not just because there's nothing back there to really go home to.]
He could comment on the value of being loyal in a relationship, but he's never been in a relationship himself so what would he know.]
It's just a simple fact.
[Instead he gets that. And what is Sonia like...]
Sonia Nevermind is a strong individual. Naturally, her royal heritage and upbringing makes her a perfect leader. When she gives you an order, it is almost impossible to refuse it. Not because she is a terrifying woman, but the natural charisma and firm decisiveness that she possesses is something any mortal can believe in and follow with confidence. Her will power is impressive, erring on the side of stubborn or bull headed. It takes more than mere disagreement to force her to back down from her stance on any subject, though while assertive she is never overbearing in arguing this.
[It seems like this might be all he has to say but after a few seconds of a pause, he sends a couple more messages.]
There's a curiosity to her as well that is admirable. The darkness does not frighten her in the least. No matter what warnings you give her, what omens you predict, what fate may befall her for following the path she is, she will pursue it with enthusiasm.
[She's really really great, Leon. She likes his hamsters, and she understands the occult stuff, and takes him 100% seriously, and and and--
[It takes him an extra little bit to reply to all that.]
Wow. Youve got it bad
[He feels a little bad, because he's not even trying to be flippant; he's just not sure what else to say in the face of that kind of . . . emotion. It's not the sort of thing you can tease a guy about easily.
After another little bit:]
So thats the kind of girl you like. makes sense coming from you
Youd have really surprised me if you said she had great tits or something lol
But it fits with how you are too. like her power level is a million and she could totally tame a tiger
