[ He closes his eyes and lets Suguru do that... It is damp, yeah, but he did try to towel dry it as best as he can. At least they are cozy in lounge wear. Satoru just chose some plain sweatpants and a crewneck for himself. ]
I thought that all deaths count to the ritual? I guess the idea is that if we're all going to die might as well get something out of it.
[ how are they even sitting... tell me more about this position as Satoru watches him like a cat, though his aura sifts between comfortable to vigilant. ]
At the cost of killing someone, yeah. [ ... ] Which one do you think is most worth it?
[ I did not think about it that deeply, but I guess they are side by side if Satoru is looking at him, which means Suguru is only using one hand otherwise it would be an awkward position... Satoru can get in his lap though 🥺
He thinks about it. ]
The world peace one, probably. Otherwise you're just trading one life for another, basically.
[ help, yeah. He can swing his legs over and be basically on his lap, easy to hold and also easier for him to stay close and read Suguru's every movement and expression shift. It hasn't really hit him yet that maybe??? This is weird???? Because emotionally he feels he's in the right spot. ]
The rest don't seem as grand, but... I don't know. How would you know for sure it's granted?
[ (you voice) why can't men have meaningful friendships
Suguru just lets him do this, because Satoru does what he wants anyway, and affection week means that it's kind of nice. He doesn't think any deeper on it because there's no point. ]
They should have more confidence in themselves and figure it out.
[ But he says that only because he comes from a place of privilege, likewise a place of duty and prestige. Golden boy thinks he can do it all, even if it takes time.
He rests his head on his shoulder. ]
Notice anything off about anyone? Monster might have been summoned already... Or do you think the swamp trove is supposed to be enough for us to help them finish off their stupid ritual.
[ He doesn't know what to do with this....... He can be defiant and disobey, stay here and feel nice, and it would seem weird or he can move back, feel not as nice, and basically submit to Suguru which he enjoys Resisting.
Still on his lap, head rested on Suguru's shoulder, he stays quiet and weighs his options. It is incredibly obvious he's thinking about it. ]

I don't know. Famine said there's no benefit to the cult if we kill one another. You hear anything different?

No idea. It could be a trick.
But some people can be desperate.

[ He rolls his eyes, but he doesn't sound particularly tempted by any of the curiosities. ]
I haven't noticed anything. But it's hard to tell between all the weird affection and other powers people can use.

That's why I'm on your lap?
no subject
He looks both embarrassed and annoyed. ]
You're not on my lap. We're just sitting closely together.
no subject
This is definitely closer than I normally sit.
no subject
Well, yeah. Move back then.
