Nearly Daily Fettelite found himself in the Rift these days. His own personal youma thrived best in here, and their daily chats with one another played a huge part in staving off his frustrations with the Negaverse. He had always kept a goal in mind, of humanizing more of the youma, especially since knowing that almost all of them were once people...
Perhaps it wasn't something to let be known too much, but he had been actively working to find a way to revert youmafication, not so much as to become a traitor and purify like some do, but to just... Go back to a mid point, to where one could still taste regular food, and have the ability to walk among every day people. The process had been long and exhausting, nearly three years of his life spent on such a thing, but he was close, he could taste it...
For now, he was on his way back from his youma's little hideyhole in the Rift when something new was spotted, something... Far Fluffier and massive than his sleek little lizard friend was. Sure, as a General he could simply summon a youma to him, but that wasn't the sort of relationship he tried to have with the youma that lived here, so instead he gave a bit of a wave and called out to whomever it was out there in the gloom.
"Hello! Are you new here?"

Ethe hadn’t been back into the Rift for very long. It was strange going through the door in the Hall of Shadows. It wasn’t the suddenness of being sent to the Rift. It was a much more gradual thing. They got to see the transition between the Rift and Negaspace proper. It was odd. So the youma was near the entrance when they felt a human presence. It stood out in the Rift that nothing else. An ‘otherness’ that was readily apparent by aura, but just as present by smell to Ethe. “New? Yes. Ethe is new. Very new. But new is not bad.” The left head said as they moved closer to investigate. The right head was more hesitant and growled. “Who are you? And what do you want here? Youma belong here. You do not.”✧

So he wasn't mistaken! Having come to the Rift nearly every day for the past few years, Fettelite was pretty familiar with the youma that lurked about from time to time. Seeing a new face left him torn... On the one hand, a new friend perhaps for him and Shoal both. On the other hand, it meant that it was likely they were another human out there that had lost themselves. Or maybe two humans, given that both heads spoke separately. He wasn't exactly sure how most youma anatomy worked.
"You're right, it's not a bad thing at all. I'm General Fettelite. I don't belong here, but I have a friend here. I came to bring my friend a treat." From within his space pocket he pulled out a nice large white box. A sweet scent wafted from it, and there were hints of sprinkles sticking to the sides. He hadn't exactly put it in there all that neatly, now that he thought about it, but it was supposed to be a quick trip so it shouldn't have gotten shaken up thaaat much.
"My youma friend, Shoal, likes to eat. Do you eat too?"

The right head continued to growl. “You are right. You do not belong here. Agents do not have friends here. There are only youma here.”Clearly, for whatever reason the right head did not want to trust Fettelite. But it wasn’t just the one head controlling the whole. “Treat? You have a treat.” The left head honed in on the smell. “The general has treats. Can Ethe have the treats? Ethe just wants a taste.”There was a whole body shaking that started to happen and the tail started waggling and soon even the right head had stopped its growling and now had its tongue hanging out, no time to protest with its salivating. ✧

And what makes you think that my youma cannot be my friend too, hmm?" A small tone of playfulness laced the General's words, and he found himself smiling a bit more than normal. Yessss, this one did remind him of his funny little lizard friend who hid among the rock and crystals in the rift. Though Shoal was considerably more feral unless his devices were activated.
"I do have a treat, and you may have one if you'd like. Or two... Or three. I have a dozen here." He pulled out one of these absolutely massive donuts, one in each hand as the box was set on the floor beside him, and held out his hands for them to take.
"No biting, okay? Only the snack. And if you be gentle with it, I'll be happy to bring you more."

“Most humans aren’t friends youma.”The right head looked a bit skeptical as if it could not understand, but then, just like the left head, some drool started to drip to the floor. “Can Ethe have two? Ethe will not bite. Ethe does not bite humans who are nice to them. That would be rude. Ethe is not rude.”✧

"And why is that you think? I think it's because alot of us just don't try." He recalled the lectures given to him by his general so long ago. Youma were only tools, disposable, and if they can't take care of themselves, let them be destroyed. Not once did Fettelite think that way from the moment he met a youma. Before his eyes he'd seen the way they were created, how they came from people who were just like himself.
To put them down as just animals or tools never sat well with him.
He nodded though at the idea of two donuts, and picked out two, holding them out with one in each hand. It was a good little test to see if they'd be gentle enough to take it from him without biting his hands off.
"Don't worry, I trust you. You seem to be very polite, and I like very polite Youma. If you like these, then you'd get along with Shoal very well."

“The first general Ethe met did not like Ethe. They thought Ethe was bad. But you are not like him.”The left head didn’t even need the right’s more calculated thinking to figure that out. “You are nice to Ethe.” And with that both mouths could not take the anticipation any longer and both grabbed a donut. They were surprisingly gentle if not neat. Fettelite would unfortunately have a bit of drool on their hands. “What are these called?” They said after devouring the snacks and licking sugar off their lips with their long tongues. “They are very tasty. We hope this Shoal does not mind we ate some of their treat.”✧

That little comparison made Fettelite smile. That's what he strove to be, a different sort of General. Sure he had his mission and the rules to follow, but he wanted more than anything to be like Axinite. Strong, yet still kind.
He almost outright cooed and awed at the delicate way Ethe took the sweets, but cleared his throat instead, not wanting to be too mushy right off the bat. The drool though, he was used to it and simply wiped it away on his pants legs.
"I am nice because I like you, and think you deserve to be treated nicely. I've learned that Youma feel happiness just like we humans do, so you deserve to feel happy in any way you can. And Don't worry, Shoal won't mind. He is nice too. If you meet him one day, I do hope you two can be friends. Then if I bring more treats and you're not around, he'll share them with you."

“We are glad you like us. We like you, too. We did not think we would, but we have changed our mind.”Ethe wagged their tail. “Ethe is happy right now.” The left head yipped. Youma deserved to feel happiness. Ethe pondered that for a moment. What did ‘happy’ look like for them? They hadn’t been this version of them for very long, after all. Perhaps they would discover many other things that made them happy. “We hope to meet your youma friend. What do they look like? We will keep an eye out for them in the Rift.”✧

Oh his heart! Fettelite would have gone fully starry-eyed had he been able to at being gold he was liked. Sure, youma could be big and scary but all he could see was a big fluffy puppy infront of him. And the tail behind them wagging away only made him hold his breath and squeeze back the squeaking sound he wanted to mate.
"If you're happy, then I'm happy! One day, if we see each other once more, I'll introduce you both. I do have a question though..." He seemed briefly sheepish, then cleared his throat, standing just a little taller.
"Can I give your head a pet? Maybe a little scratch under the chin? I know that Shoal finds it very nice, so maybe you will too."

“Ethe has not considered head pats before.”Ethe had not considered a lot of things before. “We suppose if your youma friend likes it, we will like it, too.” They had been right about the treats. The treats were good. This might be likewise. “You may pat.”✧

"I was told they are some of the best things in the world, so I have high hopes!" Permission granted had Fettelite by his side in an instant!
But he was still polite about it.... At first, anyway.
It was a simple scratch under one Head's chin at first, but it quickly moved up to their maw, up to their ears to scratch there too and maybe play with his ears, juuuust a little bit.
"You're so very soft! Entirely different than Shoal. He's all scales and lizard like. You feel almost familiar in a way."

Ethe found that they liked being scratched on the chin and on their maw and on their ears… well, anywhere, really. It felt rather nice. It was hard to really do that yourself when you just had paws. “Familiar? How?”✧

Since there was more than one head, Fettelite seemed to almost bonce between each one, giving proper pats to them equally. All things should be equal since every part of them was Ethe and just as deserving of pats as the next one.
"Well... Like... An old friend. Or something I've had the pleasure of petting before. Maybe another puppy, or a fluffy toy? Something to treasure and adore." Was he laying it on thick? Yes, most definitely, but how could he not when a pure, sweet sort of joy came from being able to just take in the moment and pet something as fluffy as this youma? And how long had it been since he could really indulge in those silly little happy moments?
"Are there things that are familiar to you too? Shoal tells me sometimes that he likes certain things because it reminds him of something from a long time ago. Memories buried deep down. I'm sure there are things like that for you too."
