Even if he did pretend it didn’t really matter, there’s absolutely no way the butcher would be able to brush it off. This isn’t like before, when he hadn’t really understood the gravity of the things he was doing - this was a reminder that the butcher needed to keep himself in check more often. He could miss everything without even realizing it. (Chalk it up to bad socialization in his youth, because y’know, cannibal).

Though, perhaps he’s always been drawn to keeping friends with those that are hard to pin down otherwise. Whatever it is doesn’t reach the air in the room as ants leans in for a sweet and affectionate kiss, one that he presses back into with relief that it would not become a big fight. At least, not this time.
His laugh at Danta’s response punches out of him, the immediate shake of his head and wide smile tugging back into place, leaving each sharp tooth clearly on display. “Oh, darling, you would eat her alive.” He purrs, tail twitching as his hands drop to run back along his lover’s legs and up to his hips.
The quick kiss calms him, however, and he leans in to brush his nose against Danta’s own before he answers close enough to let his lips brush against the other Ancient’s. “If it helps, I did not see what it is. I can still guess.” He touts proudly, going so far as to withdraw with the playful twist of his smile into a smirk as he closes his eyes tightly, tipping his chin up as if expectant of another bite he can’t see.
