'Ya think I'm a monster. That's fair. Some monsters are better people than some people'
"I use the term 'monster' to describe anything not 'normal.' This rabid dog was a monster. Cancer is a monster. A stranger who's been watching you across the street for an hour is a monster. A towering lizard-man with the hunger of a dark god and the durability of one as well is a monster. Even a man who lives in the sewers and speaks to rats is a monster. It doesn't make one evil, it's just... a box to catch anything that doesn't fall into any other ones."

'If ya don't mind? That would be great! D'ya only eat raw meat, then?'
"No, I just often don't see the point in cooking it. It's an easy meal, and I can eat just about anything and be fine. I drank lava once and I'm still standing here."
He sheathes his knife and begins to dismantle his trap.

"When you're eating half a cow per day at six, it becomes a bit less useful. Most of my formative years were spent eating out of my family's garbage after they gave me twice the dinner they gave everyone else."

'Yes. They're mortal enemies. And more than that. They're like ice and fire, blue and red, predator and prey. There are 10 of them in total, but it's the Third who the Sixth seems to hate the most. And the First, only, their relationship is more... complicated. And doesn't bother me'
