Astaroth
// a beast in the business of selling forgiveness //
His chin dips in a you’re welcome to the gratitude offered, noticing a bit of the surprise and wondering if nobody had apologized before. It wasn’t that it would do any good, of course, but the sympathy within it sparked something that he thinks anyone could be capable of, if they cared enough to extend it. And as such, he offers his own little sympathy and understanding – because this world was vastly different than the one he knew, and he was still coming to terms with that.
Humming a note, Astaroth nods again a bit solemnly, but finds that sharp smile returning to hear that he’s found his place here, and the butcher shifts his weight a little when he speaks. “It does appear that you have.” A child, too, if he thinks back to the Tournament. Nothing that the butcher would ever want, but he can extend his happiness to others that did wish for such a thing.
But the question is returned, and Astaroth barks out a laugh before he shakes his head, inhaling sharply only to sigh out a “oh, Dygra, no.” The amusement remains, though, despite his answer. “I certainly enjoy the freedom I have these days, compared to my previous time.” Where they’d all been pawns for stronger Ancient’s, at their beck and call. But, as it stands, his attention flickers toward the pool again, spotting the hint of pink flesh as it bobs to the surface - an encantado curious of the rocks that seem to be floating about.
