Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex's grin didn't falter, even as she bombarded him with reasons for her hatred towards the love filled holiday. "It isn't just about love, it's also about friendship and being near the people who's company you might enjoy. Besides, why are you even here if you feel so strongly about it?" he questioned her with a raised eyebrow before listening to her weak response to his question about the number one.

He chose to not even dignify that with a response.

Alex could have sat there and smiled for hours on end without stopping, and he had even planned on it, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms as he appraised the ghoul sitting across from him. He had to approve of her choice of wear, as it was so much like his own, though he had left his hat back in his room, feeling it would have looked a bit silly, though it suited her just fine.

Then she asked her next question, and his smile faltered a bit as he sat forward and uncrossed his arms, putting his hands on the table and studying her hard. What kind of question was that, anyways? There was a short pause in conversation as he composed himself and found himself saying. "Having my head cut off by my twin sisters." He said, a touch flatly. That was only half of the truth, however. What had possibly been worse, or at least tied for the lead had been the time that he had attacked his best friend and nearly tore his chest apart.

But enough of his miserable topic, back to being cheerful! He smiled at her again, asking his next question. "And what, might I ask, was the happiest moment of your life?"

Adorable. He was going to play with her. Sure could have grinned if she didn't have mastery over her poker face right then, thrumming lightly. Yes, he was playing along with her nicely. Not that she was trying too hard to manipulatie him. It was something to keep the conversation from stagnating.

"You get to ask me whatever question you would like, and I must answer honestly. However, I do not have to answer directly. Does that sound like the kind of game you would like to play?" Sura suggested. It wasn't really a game, but....

Sura had nothing to hide, and it seemed like Titus would enjoy getting to pull her strings.

Alex was somewhat satisfied with her first answer. Assuming the Valkyrie she spoke of was a friend, then it just validated what he had already said about scarentines day also being about friendship, not just love.

The smirk she graced him with when he told her that his sisters had cut off his head..that grated on his nerves a little bit. It really wasn't something to smirk about, and he responded to her with a shrug, not really wanting to talk about it any further then he already had. There was really nothing more to say about it, anyways.

And so, because she had made him uncomfortable with her question, it was with extreme pleasure that he noted his return question seemed to have the same effect on her, though the questions were polar opposites. At least she'd gone silent, and was no longer smirking at him over clasped hands. He was, however, surprised by her answer. A hat? Her happiest moment had been when a boil had given her a hat? He sensed that there was much more to the story then just that, but it was all she was offering up at the moment. Since she hadn't pressed him for more details on his beheading, he supposed he could let this slide as well.

Her next question didn't shock him as much as her first, though it was just as distasteful. He let his smile slip away as he frowned at her. This ghoul must have some serious issues. Again, as last time, more then one answer cropped to his mind, though instead of two there were several, threatening to drown his cheery mood with his innermost anxieties.

Nothing to do but try and turn it into a joke, even though it wasn't exactly funny. "My twin sisters. I mean, really, they cut off my head. They're the most terrifying thing I can think of." And they'd done so much more then that too him, throughout his life, though he had finally stood up to them and they didn't hold nearly as much terror as he might have once thought. No, there were other things he feared more now, but this ghoul that he barely knew didn't get to find out about them just because she asked at some silly scarentines day meet and greet.

He had to think a little bit before asking his next question. Anything he immediately thought of was too much like his first question, and he thought if they were too similar, he might just get the same answer twice.

"What do you love the most.." He started, leaving a small silence between the start of his sentence and the ending, "..about your friends?"

This was always assuming the ghoul had friends. He was sure she must though, otherwise, she just would not (or at least, should not, with her attitude.) be here. He was hoping if he could get her thinking about happy things, she might stop interrogating him about the horrible ones.

A regret. That was an interesting request. Sura had to think on it for a moment, having not experienced..much...in her life to allow her to actually have any interesting or very solid regrets. However, there was one in particular that did come to mind for her.

"I do not regret my size, my strength, or my species. However, I do regret that I was born where I was and into the situation I was." she answered, not quite..lamenting, but there was a certain lingering sadness. "I regret that because of it, I never thought to change how things were at home." Sura seemed to mull again.

"I regret not meeting my siblings."

Not exactly what Titus had meant but whatever. Getting to know the colossus really hadn't been the intent though he supposed he should have worded it differently for a more desired result. What have you done that you regret might have been the winning question but with his brain working in rhymes that was a little difficult to process.

"So your siblings you have never met?
That is truly your only regret?
It's not what I was expecting but I suppose it will do,
It seems honest enough so I suppose it is true.
Did your parents keep you isolated far away?
or was it because your siblings simply didn't stay?"

Titus drummed his fingers against the table while he listened, eyes looking bored as Sura continued to explain. He wasn't really up for sharing, especially in rhyming form. Not that the more exciting part of his life could be shared. No, really he could only share the boring bits or risk punishment for revealing too much.

"Seems like a boring life,
I imagine it would cause a lot of strife.
I would hate to be locked away
never to really see the day.
Now that you're free what will you do?
With this life you have been given a new?" Time was no doubt about up and Titus fiddled with his card, antsy and ready to jump up. As soon as he was free he was going to roll around until he got this jacket off.

Without hesitation Titus handed over his card to be stamped. He might have pulled a stunt like he did with the last ghoul and try to stamp Sura's forehead, but something told him that wouldn't get a reaction. No it was a waste of time. Instead he took her card as well and took the stamp off the table and placed a mark in a free space.

"Done. That's the end of that.
This has been an interesting...chat?" Wow he was sounding nice. Did he have a fever?
"You better believe I will figure out your fear,
something that that scares you or break something dear.
I leave you now to be rid of this mess
by the way I wanted to say you have a nice dress..." Wait what? Titus face faulted for a moment trying to decide what had just come out of his mouth.
