[ Masamune snaps a little defensively at that. It's not directed at her personally, but he is undoubtedly frustrated.
As a samurai, it makes sense for him to reject such a descriptor. Gilgamesh is no skill, all power.
But, of course, it is a difficult position for Hakuno most of all. She is aware of Gilgamesh's bad side but seen the good as well.
So far, Masamune has seen nothing but the bad and the manipulation. ]
Charisma, huh? Yeah, sounds about right.
[ The little dragon becomes frustrated because he can't speak directly ill of the other: because accusing him of cruel and manipulative rape is only immediately countered with voices hounding him that he consented, that he loved all of it anyway. He was given exactly what he wanted and it was something he only felt resentful towards because he was so addicted to it he was feeling withdrawal.
Besides, shouldn't he feel awful? That person loves him. Is the only person that loves him. Even if he hates him, he will—
(Everything sounds like a lie now, even his own convictions) ]
I really hate him...
[ There is so much venom in Masamune's voice, suggesting it's deep rooted and not fake words, but that he's struggling to say it. Being outside of his manipulative range is the only thing allowing the young lord to even speak in pieces. ]
I just want to die and be left alone, but he won't let me. I can't live like this, I'm a fucking dragon! I can't stand it, it's disgusting how pathetic I am. Even he is going to trash me when he's done— maybe he already has.
[ Shifting a little, he sighs as he considers, almost defeated sounding. ]
So... I don't understand why you would want to bother caring for me. You don't know me and I certainly don't deserve it.
[ He doesn't deserve anything. Isn't that why he's supposed to be so grateful for Gilgamesh?
...But he really likes Hakuno. In fact, she and Yukimura are perhaps more than anyone all he cares about being wanted by on his own merit. Hell, if he could be convinced they really cared—they don't have to desire him, he just wants friends to stay with and curl up with at night and laugh with and fight alongside and protect and be protected and face life as it comes—he thinks he could get over even Gilgamesh instead of feeling an intense need to linger.
(The longer he stays away from the golden King, the better it is for him. ]
Don't worry about it okay? I'm just being a brat and being unfair to him, I guess.
