[As a palisman..........]

...I think so. Used to think about it a lot, like - if I'd look like what I thought dad looked like, or like my hero Lou Jitsu, or some rando off the street.

[He shrugs.] Then I stopped thinking about it, didn't bother me much. And now I'm thinking about it again.

How come?

[Hunter, you are truly too good for this world. Leo does not deserve you.]

Because I wonder if I'd be less anxious about making stuff hard with you if I looked like a human.

[ More dim confusion, but he's slowly understanding it? Maybe?? ]

But I'm not human either.

You look human though. Easily mistaken for one if someone's not looking super close.

I - well - okay yes, I can hide my ears and do stuff in the Human Realm, that's true!

But you won't look strange at all in the Demon Realm. There are tons of non-witchlike demons, and even more that are in between, just like you.

...And you're okay with that? Me like this?

Of course I'm okay with it. Why would I date you if I wasn't okay with it??

I dunno. People change their minds all the time.

... Leo.

[ Hunter reaches a hand out for his shoulder. ]

I'm not going to change my mind.

[Leo stares up at him. A little hopeful, a lot nervous.]

For real? Because there's no return receipt on this turtle if you take it now. You'll be stuck with it.

[ Hunter laughs a little. ]

Course. I mean - anything can happen, but I guarantee it's not because you're too weird for me. In the Boiling Isles, you're the more normal one anyway.

[He stares up at Hunter thinking that over. What that means, what it can mean. And then tugs him down to wrap both arms around Hunter tight.]

Dunno how that's possible but. All right.
