To switch, or not to switch?

Why is it called a Switch anyway? It's obviously a button.

To press, then, or not to press? That is the question.

I wonder if I can trust him. I doubt he'll ever trust me, but then, his entire reason for fighting was to protect humans, was it not? Aren't I now human, at least somewhat?

I start to circle him again. "He couldn't decide whether to stab you in the back or not, could he? Very indecisive. Always has been."

[hinooo]

I don't turn with him this time. Too afraid he'll read everything off my face. "We managed to find common ground," I agree tentatively.

[catcameback]

"It wouldn't be the first time Ankh sided with OOO against the rest of us." I purr. Frustrated, I stop in front of him again and squint at his face.

"They're all gone? All of them? The purple ones too?"

[hinooo]

I repress a shudder. I'm not completely helpless, and if he only has one Medal -- I still don't know how he has one Medal at all -- he's not completely powered up, either.

...I open my mouth to consider lying about that, but my face gives me away instantly. "Y-Yes."

[catcameback]

Another growl escapes me and I consider grabbing him again, but that's not going to endear me to him at all.

I turn away to kick at the ground instead. I glance over my shoulder at him with a frown. "Then you're as helpless as me?" This might be dangerous to admit.

[hinooo]

He growls again, and I move into a defensive position automatically, but then...

"You have a Medal, though?" I query, dumbfounded. "You're not helpless?"

[catcameback]

"Tch." Just a little hiss. "I lied, obviously."

I turn and spread my hands. Then, in a possibly risky move, I hold out my left arm, the still healing marks where I'd clawed myself open upon... waking. "I lied."

[hinooo]

"You lied?" I blink at him, then my eyes go to the redness on his arm.

"Eh?!" I reach forward, grabbing his arm to inspect it. "You're human?"

[catcameback]

I hiss at him when he grabs my arm, grabbing his arm with my free hand in turn and digging my fingers in. I may not have claws, but I do still have nails.

"So it would seem."

[hinooo]

I squawk when he digs his claws- nails in, but I keep hold of him until I can inspect the marks properly.

I let go, then meet his eyes, blinking rapidly. "So -- but how? How?"

[catcameback]

I snort and step away from him to frown at my own arm. Stupid, so very stupid. I still haven't decided if I like being human or not. I'm leaning towards not.

"If I knew, would I be asking you questions?"

[hinooo]

"I don't know! I don't understand Greeeds!" I wail, beginning to reach my weirdness limit. "You didn't wake up on a lab table with someone cackling evilly over you?"

[catcameback]

I take another step back, eyes back. Was he always like this? Surely not. Maybe just not around me.

"No." This question catches me off guard, and I blink. "I woke up in a park. On the ground."

[hinooo]

I let my shoulders slump as I screw up my face, trying to work this out. Why? Who?!

But he obviously doesn't know. "O~kay," I say eventually. "Are you still able to make Yummies?"

[catcameback]

I squint at him. Flex my hands, but I know I'm helpless.

I really hate being helpless.

"No." I snap. "At least, not that I know. I have no Cell medals either."

[hinooo]

I scratch the back of my head. "I -- I guess I can't just destroy you, then," I say, hating the uncertainty in my own voice, but really, this is ridiculous.

I can't attack an unarmed human, who hasn't attacked me.

[catcameback]

I snort at him. "No, I suppose you can't." This is a good thing, obviously, but I still...

I don't trust him. I can't trust him.

I examine his face curiously. "You're wondering about Ankh." Tch. "You got so attached to him?"

[hinooo]

I nod miserably, hunching in on myself. "Can you sense him?"

[catcameback]

Oh. That's a new feeling.

Pity?

Yes.

Odd.

I shake my head. "I can't." I wet my lips thoughtfully. "But if I came back..."

[hinooo]

"Ah," I say, nodding faster and faster. "Ah, yes, thank you, Kazari!"

Three words I never thought I'd say in a row.

[catcameback]

I purse my lips at him, taking a step back. "No need to thank me. It's not my fault I exist. You never know, maybe your hopes are up for nothing."

[hinooo]

"No, I'll find him. Everything will be fine," I assure him. "And you -- if you're not here to make Yummies, what are you doing?"

[catcameback]

"I'm sure." I blink at him, then laugh. "Well, I'm living, obviously."

[hinooo]

"Just... living?" I am befuddled, bewildered, and completely confused. Why would a Greeed just live?

[catcameback]

I'm not sure I like the look on his face. Like I've even given him a reason not to trust me (yet) and he's already all nervous and convinced I'm lying to him.

"Well, wouldn't you?" I snarl. "It's new for me, you see. Why shouldn't I live?"
