[ He fends those hands off at first, mouth pulled up into a snarl, before Shadow Milks words hit home. Make them freeze in surprise. ]
What?
[ Those words... aren't Deceit. He stares up at Shadow Milk in surprise, barely registering the hands at his neck now. The sounds. The anger.
Ovens had he... Something twists inside of him, painfully. Doubt sinks, bares fangs and bites. Had he become a Cookie of Deceit? Had he offered Shadow Milk eternity by his side? ]
Shadow Milk...
[ He's choked for words and not simply because there's hands closing around his throat. He wouldn't... would he? Even as a Cookie of Deceit? He wouldn't offer someone something so grand and then break it?
No. He can see it. So fallen, so full of lies. He absolutely would to get what he needed and wanted. To defeat the Master of Lies, he would have to spin one so thoroughly himself that not even Shadow Milk Cookie would be able to see past it to the Truth within. That he himself in part would believe.
Why does that hurt so much?
He moves his hands, choking be damned, and reaches up to cup the Beasts face. Rasps out around the pain and lack of air as he's not fighting it anymore. ]
