[ he wouldn't be so chatty if he wasn't the only one carrying the conversation, jeez. even kon groans a little, one ear twitching as he play-bites the man's arm a little more. what a meaty guy, this one, not like his human who's all soft and squishy. ]
You could've done the same with me. But I guess a curse is easier to take care of, when you think about it.
[ he's not as upset as he thinks he would be, hearing this answer. mildly upset, only because what i needed for sticks to the back of his throat. what about him, then? what was he useful for?
pragmatically, not much. kids aren't all that useful while they're babies. whatever. ]
[ the sass his kid has is unreal. Toji begins to speak, firmly, revisiting what Megumi is trying to move away from. ]
I could not. The spirit has weak cursed energy, it can be reduced in size and fit in my stomach, making it harder to detect. Don’t act like you have me all figured out, Megumi. I wasn’t lying when I said I kill sorcerers— and to be successful, I have to be undetectable.
[ Nibble all you like, Kon. It doesn’t look like Toji seems to mind. The assassin gestures his finger with his free hand at Megumi. ]
I’ll train when I say we are training and I’ll also say for how long. You don’t get to decide that.
I'm not trying to figure you out at all. I never said I didn't believe you, either.
[ naoya zen'in had tried to kill him in shinjuku. sukuna had tried to suffocate him in his inner domain. and the memories of everyone coming at sukuna with everything they had, well knowing that they're condemning megumi to death if they succeed. at this point, hanging out with people who weren't trying to kill him is the odd encounter.
he doesn't blame anyone for the way he turned out, or at least he thinks he doesn't. he just wants to understand why. ]
You said earlier that we would tomorrow. If you don't actually want to, you don't have to agree with me. Just say so and don't make things up.

His other hand lifts and settles on Kon’s head, giving him what seems to be a pleasant pet. ]
Hnn.
[ After a moment of silence, Toji stands to his feet and stretches out his body, seeming to start to make his leave, and then: ]
6am. Don’t be late.
