Hey! You don't know that's gonna happen! You really think someone like Malcolm would let that happen too? Or that the Admiral would let it? Fucker barely lets us take a shit without oversight, no way he's gonna let someone get powers or fucking immortality that easy.
The Admiral WILL let it happen, and Malcolm won't listen when I said I didn't want one either! I already have Princess, I specifically hatched her because she wasn't a palisman, and still she was murdered by Belos' forces! As punishment for my misbehavior!
Well if you don't wanna risk liking people why even be here? I mean Christ on a stick, why not just give up and go be dead then? It's about the only way that you'll never get hurt ever.
[He feels like Trevor or Malcolm would be very smug to hear him say something like that, or would point out hypocritical he's being but fortunately neither of them are here to hear it.]
What if Belos shows up and kills Malcolm then? Better not get too attached to him! Or anyone else either! May as well just keep shoving everyone away and making them hate you so... so they can't hurt you first. Fuck.
[He sniffles and rubs at his eyes.]
Then you'll die alone but at least you'll be alone and no one can hurt you, right?
[at the very thought of Belos getting anywhere near Malcolm, Kikimora snarls, furious. Her magic makes some of the lightbulbs overhead sputter and pop]
Shut up! Shut UP, you little troll! I'd murder him if he touched Warden Bright!
But I'm already attached. The Admiral gave me him after my old warden abandoned me, left, and came back without a word to me. He defended me, protected me when I go through my...episodes.
I will fight anyone to the death for Malcolm Bright.
Fucking why though? If you don't want to get attached so he can't be used against you, why not just fucking push him away when it started? Sure Admiral fuckface paired you both up, but that didn't make you get along. Why didn't you just ignore him and push him away and say you didn't want to get close?
[Oh. Oh fuck... yeah that hits really close to home and maybe if he didn't kinda sorta grudgingly like Kiki, he'd just gloss over it and leave because managing emotions is not even close to being his best skill. But. He can't just leave now.
What she says reminds him of Fizz too, in a way.]
You're not cracked, Kiki.
[Blitzø's voice is quieter, almost tired, and completely devoid if his usual cocky attitude.]
You're not perfect, but neither is anyone else. You don't have to owe people just because they don't treat you like shit, or put up with crap because you feel like you deserve it, and you're not broken either.
And if you think that palismen should only go to people who aren't fucked up in some way, then maybe I should give you Staples after all.
Fuck Malcolm. Look I know you like him but he's insufferable like half the time. At least.
So. Malcolm and I decided you should have a palisman without listening to you about it, which was wrong. I should have checked what you wanted before I asked.
I'm sorry, Kiki. But I'll ask now. Are you really sure you don't want this egg? Even just to keep safe and, you know, asleep? Cause I'll probably just lose it somewhere but I could ask Hunter to take care of it too if it's going to upset you.
Ugh. Don't wait for me for this to hatch. Staples can go play with whatever Hunter's palisman's name is. Something stupid, like Biscuit or Bacon or Eggs.
[it's Flapjack]
I'm occasionally mad at him, but it's not the sort of mad that demands punishment.
[She neglects to mention (perhaps Kiki doesn't know) that years on the Boiling Isles are almost twice as long as years in the human realm, putting her age in human years to a much more palatable 26.]
[There's a moment where Blitzø's mind screeches to a halt as he's forced to consider that he's been feuding with a kid. Maybe he needs to check Sebastian's age now too...]
Well in that case, ask Malcolm why getting punished makes his body feel funny.

What do I owe this creature? It should be born with a clean slate, not saddled with a...a cracked egg.

You two are bonded. If I were the type of demon to say so, I'd...ehhh...admit you were cute together.
It was wrong of me to try to take her. I was jealous, Malcolm was right.
