_{“..“ Oh. That’s right. Devil Arms.. could break, couldn’t they? Grays dimmed in sadness as her smile faded, shifting her gaze aside. A friend, too. These weapons, these people.. With hearts, souls, thoughts. They could break. Fingers drew from the table, hands resting in her lap as she inhaled shakily. “—I’m sorry.”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ ”… don’t be, Enkidu told me himself he didn’t want me crying like a kid about him.“ How fitting, Gilgamesh and Enkidu. They were friends as much as they were family, if anything he considered each of them in the shop to be his new family and would not stand for them to be treated ill now just like in the past. He wanted to protect them, so they don’t share that fate. ”… sis broke once too, right?“ It’s obvious who he was speaking of.}

clxymore:

_{“So did you have any original owners? Like — before Echidna.“ How many Devil Arms were there, anyways? Scattered about the world.. Curious thoughts for another time, indeed.}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ "Had a few of them at least, even had a friend who was with me through each of them til he broke apart.” It was not exactly pleasant to remember ones best friend breaking to pieces, he could say that much through his experiences between each master.}

clxymore:

_{“Or, or, what if it was faked? Like the whole moon landing thing? No, wait a minute, I was there.. It couldn’t have been faked. Drats!“ Foiled by her own memory.}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ "Pfft, I was fixing to say if it was faked then how’d you get here? It isn’t really! Aw, well, even with that it was a kinda good attempt at keeping them back.” Oh look, he’s smiling.}

clxymore:

_{“I think Master Sparda was more concerned with saving his own ass at the moment, and was less worried about how unreliable the seals would later become.”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “Probably could go as far as to say that they really must have been wondering how they lost to him if he just did the whole; seal and run his ass to Earth schtick instead of trying to make the seals stronger.”}

clxymore:

_{“Y’know, even though Master Sparda sealed the hellgates, there sure were a lot of loopholes and ways out..”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “No kidding, some of us wouldn’t have met otherwise though, I probably woulda been in more hot water if I was stuck in Hell with Echidna.”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “Mr. Vergil and Reb, my money’s on Reb!” Gil, shouldn’t you try to at least assist.}

clxymore:

_{“I wouldn’t wanna be one of her kids after what the boy did to them. Master was just playing a friendly game of soccer with the children..”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “With me playing kicker after he shot her ass down with Ivory, I never had that much fun taking out a gate then her kids in my life.”}

clxymore:

_{“I don’t blame you. At all. How long were you with the viper, anyways?”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “Mighta been a good while, I can’t tell the exact time since I think she was going to try dubbing me one of her kids.”}

clxymore:

_{“Please don’t mention frogs. I dreamed I was swallowed by one last night. It stunk in there.”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “Sorry Reb, um… if it helps, I still have nightmares of the damn viper some times when I try sleeping. Those aren’t pretty either.”}

clxymore:

_{“We can steal some of Master’s cologne! It smells awful, anyways!”}

^{██⊰⚔⊱██ “That smelly stuff he says that girls love? Yeesh, I thought those frogs smelled better than that crap.”}
