...Hokay.

Favorite Sin and Favorite Virtue.

Eh. Humble pie's nasty. Come to the proud side. [He reaches out to take her hand and tug on it teasingly.]

[] Naaah. I've got too many things wrong and different about me to be proud.

...Confident.

I could be confident.

[drops her hand, still grinning] Ah, fine. You're missing out.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with different. [For the first time, he looks serious.]

[] I know.

S'just harder for people to accept you when you're different. Even in the smallest stupid ways...

Screw 'em. [grins] Anyway, I guarantee you're more normal than me, so if I can get along, you've got nothing to worry about.

[] Couldn't tell you were different if you paid me.

Oh, you'd figure it out eventually. [He props his chin on one fist, showing off the head of the snake tattoo that runs along his arms.] Trust me, most of my class would say I was the least normal person in any room I was in.

[]

No outward differences. Those're what people'd notice. Except for the tattoo. Which is really cool by the way.

See, I disagree. People notice inner differences--not as fast, but they do. And then they feel betrayed and lied to because they found out later. It's all very annoying. And the best part of the tattoo is how I got it.

[

I'll bite. How'd you get it?

[grins] I didn't.

[]

[laughs] Okay. Technically I did. Not deliberately, and not in the usual sense. It mostly just... decided it was time for it to be there, so it was.

...[] some kind of...magical process?

I've never actually called it magic, but it probably is.

[]

...What's it mean?

The tattoo? [He glances at it as though deciding whether to answer.] It means I'm the snake.

[]

...The snake of what? Like...your personality kinda thing? []

The snake trickster.

....some kind of diety?

[]

Only as much as the traditional tricksters were deities. Probably less than that.
