“I always look like this.”
To say that he was surprised would be
an understatement ; you had quite a
dark sense of humor for someone your
age.
“How unfortunate. I would
hate to be trapped in a body
such as yours.”
Not quite at its most polite, but the
creature was still ruffled from a rather
irritating encounter earlier. It rubbed
blood-stained fingers off on its pants
nonchalantly. The creature walked a
few steps closer curiously.
“Could be worse, right? All things
considered, you don’t really smell
terribly much like a rotten corpse.
Nor look it… has the decaying
stopped or is it merely slowed?
I imagine it would be absolute
torture to be stuck inside a body
that decays while you’re still alive.”
Torture, sure, but absolutely fascinating.
