(( Matthias watches him closely, seeing the comfort drape over Wooji like a blanket. Is he part of the cause? He'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy his hands in Jiji's hair, pampering him in the best way he can think of. He's always been fond of cats.

Humming softly in thought, Matthis ponders how to reply. After a moment, he sighs heavily before answering. ))

Your witch isn't wrong. I won't even say you shouldn't worry about me. It's in my nature to be manipulative. But...

(( Another long sigh. He pulls his fingers free of Wooji's hair and tips the cat's chin up. Whether or not Jiji opens his eyes is uo to him. ))

I like you. You're fun and you don't expect me to be anything more than what I am.

( wooji doesn't seem particularly fazed by the demon's response — it's in his nature to be manipulative, maybe, but he's never manipulated wooji. or — well. if he has, the cat has never felt it, so that means that it couldn't have been bad, could it?

he blinks his eyes open slowly at the lack of fingers in his hair, chin tipped up so he can look at the beautiful, beautiful demon before him. ) Of course I don't — 'cause you don't expect me to be anything more than I am, too. ( and he smiles, a sweet thing. ) You like me, huh?

I've always been fond of cats.

(( Yes, he'll brush it off with that. Yes, it must be because Wooji's not human. Humans are just... toys, really. But spirits and other monsters? They're at least worthy of some respect. They're usually the sorts that recognize Matthias for what he is and either accept it or steer clear.

At the heart of his dislike for humanity in general is the fact that he so often pretends to be someone else with them. To worm his way into their lives, he dons the mask of whatever they want most to see in another. Weeks, months, years, in rare cases, decades of pretending. That's why Matthias values those who don't expect him to be anything he's not.

He huffs as if the cat's question is ridiculous, then shoves his hands back in Wooji's hair. ))

What's not to like, Jiji~? You're cute and fun.

I know! ( and a coy little grin crosses wooji's face — 'cause yeah, he's definitely cute, and he certainly tries to be fun. but really, he's just being silly, which seems to suit the two of them just fine.

that's a comforting thing for wooji, too. having someone who genuinely enjoys his company, who helps to tether him somewhere — if only for a little while. he's tried not to be so reliant on others as each life passes since he knows how it'll end, eventually ... but that also gets pretty lonely. wooji doesn't do lonely very well.

the cat purrs unabashedly as those hands find his hair again, no longer shy about that low sound rumbling in his chest. he wiggles to press a little closer (as though he isn't already laying half on top of the demon), nose scrunched as he presses a little kiss against his lips. ) Thanks for finding me. I feel a lot better already.

(( Matthias chuckles at Wooji's response. It's good he knows he's adorable. Adorable can go a long way with the right people. And Matthias happens to be a little shallow so cute and pretty people tend to keep his attention.

It also doesn't hurt that Jiji's so easy-going. It's comfortable being around him and Matthias values comfort very highly.

He curls his fingers to lightly run his nails across Wooji's scalp with each stroke of his hands through the cat's hair. It's relaxing just playing with his hair. It's probably the purring that's so damn soothing. ))

Are you hungry?
