electing strange perfections

"Shall I tell them to get used to your custom?" Danta wonders, grinning and tilting his head back against the side of the cart to hear the other man's history. It's strange, how even a season ago he could have said with confidence that he hated Astaroth's guts, but couldn't have recalled a thing about the taller Ancient's past. Funny, in a way.
"A tribe of them," he repeats, sounding interested; even that word feels too primitive for the Asta he'd come to know in The Climb. "Why did you go further afield in the first place?" he asks. It feels like a dangerous thing to do, especially given the special dietary requirements of Asta's previous society.
As the spotlight swings towards him, though, Danta can only offer the same candidness in return, however it makes him squirm internally. "Born and raised," he confirms. "Well... born, anyway. I was orphaned early on. Morax got me under the thumb pretty quickly. I was her errand boy, punchbag and everything in between." He wrinkles his nose.
"My bloodlust is pretty tame compared to some of these newer Ancients, though." Tame in that he doesn't feel it so frequently, but it can be intense when it does seize him. "Morax would starve me, so I got used to going without."
