I'd be bloody concerned if your name was actually beefcake. Raised by cannibals. Or body builders.
Sounds like fun, though. There's sod all to drink at this hotel and if I have to spend another minute in this city sober, I'll stake myself.

I think if you're a cannibal and you're not a chef there's not much point, is there?
Me and the devil brat found a bottle of wine. Here's hoping there's more, I suppose.

Nah, it's still around. Don't have any blood to mix it with. That's where you come in.
[He says that entirely casually.] But I agree, wine's for ponces anyway. Wonder if I could find anything to make cocktails with...

Oh yeah, that's a great idea. Adds a bit of tanginess to the blood. [He does find it sort of remarkable how unbothered Kotetsu seems to be about this, largely.
He'll follow along, non-chalant.] But if it's all we've got we should probably make it last, just so you know. Here's hoping it's not. I imagine the pups have been squirrelling some of it away. Kids being kids and all that.

[He's standing about, as he'd like to say, around the hallway, though he does stop at the parlour and the game room, and now he's just... playing cards with himself on the balcony.
Hi Kotetsu. He's got a half empty bottle of wine with him.]

[Gives him a glance and a nod.]
Alright, govna?
Alright, govna?
Yeah, in retrospect it might not have been the brightest way to do it.

Searing agony, the humans to figure out that I'm utterly defenseless against them and to take advantage of that and kill me next week.
Except I'm not. Apparently.

I'm used to helping people and getting spat on in return.

Could've been my motive, you know. Blackmail or protection or just some kind of guarantee that she'd make it to motive. I've killed out of love before, both for family and a lover, I reckon you'd do the same for your girl.
