[the video starts with more of a whimper than a bang. daeshim is just sitting in a chair in the middle of his apartment, looking around a little uncertainly as he speaks.]

A question. What...does one do inside their apartment all day?

[this a first for him. sure, he had shelter in the forest, but that was all dirt floors and an open fireplace. just a step above the actual wilds.]

There are so many walls and no chimney. The air smells stale even when I open the window. Though I must admit, the hot water is nice! As is the indoor outhouse!

[he brightens briefly before folding his hands in his lap again. but his restlessness is almost tangible.]

It's just so quiet.

[ Yusuke looked both surprised and slightly awed. He’d never seen such an ability before! ] That’s an amazing talent! How absolutely beautiful to be able to create such life like that.

[ He supposed having things in common with friends was important, although he had friends who were quite different from him as well… Though he tapped his chin lightly as he considered the other’s talents. ]

I know several people who are quite fond of plants and gardening. I’m sure they would be happy to know someone such as yourself!

[at 5'2", daeshim isn't the tallest of people. but his eyes grow wide at some of the the words that yusuke uses: amazing. beautiful. it makes him stands straight and tall, while his face turns a nice shade of pink that goes well with his purple hair.]

I- I am ugly and wingless, but your kindness is appreciated! I would be happy to lend my gifts to you should you ever need them. No trickery involved!

[ Yusuke seemed to blink a bit quizzically at Daeshim’s description of himself. ]

While I suppose I do not see wings, so wingless seems a truthful descriptor, I hardly see why one would describe you as ugly. [ Yusuke Kitagawa: King of making awkward statements that could be taken several ways, but are intended to simply be the objective truth as he saw it. But he smiles at the offer. Who is he to pass up potential assistance that might inspire his art? ] But that is most generous of you! I should very much like to take you up on the offer one day. I am always looking for someone willing to assist me in inspiring my artwork.

… Do you normally trick people?

[faeshim]

It is in my kind's nature to be tricky or engage in dealings that always benefit them. But we also cannot lie. If I tell you that I will not do this, then you can trust that I will not.

I see… [ It’s still rather odd to think someone couldn’t lie, even if Yusuke tended towards honest than not. It almost sounded like something out of a story… But there were people from so many odd worlds here. ] Then I am grateful for you having said that. I am always more appreciative of those who speak the truth than not.
