“Oh! I caught Piipii back when I was real young! I actually caught him in a pair- on… accident……..” Green, clearly excited at first, suddenly trails off, soon falling silent.
“Uh…” He swallows thickly, looking away from the camera, staring at the wall. You couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but, soon he composes himself enough to explain.
“…I don’t have her anymore.”
He shakes his head, almost like he was trying to shake off the topic. It seemed much Harder for him to let it go than everything else.
Green lets out a sigh, running a hand over his mask slowly, it flickers and changes back to- what seems to be the default. He turns back to you fully and gives a half-hearted dismissive shrug, moving on.
“Anyways.” His tone returned to calm and casual like it usually was, As if nothing had ever happened.
“I guess you could say disfiguration? I’m not really trying to be secretive about it most people just freak out when they see me-” He puts hand to the side of his face as he speaks.
“-Hell not to mention, I’m not particularly… favored by the freaks above, and well.. My…. face makes me… very easy to identify as an issue. So if I don’t hide it somehow I stick out like a sore thumb.”
“But, If y'all are gonna keep askin or tryin to convince me- I mean, Why not? Might as well let ya folks know the answer. Y'all’s fault if you don’t like what'cha see!~”
Green scoops piipii off his shoulder- who complains drearily about being moved- and returns it to his hoodie pocket, cooing to the bug just enough to be barely audible to the drone but not enough to hear the words. After getting his friend settled, he continues to keep his head down, hair covering your view of his face. He brings his hands up to where his cheeks would be, and then he hesitates.
He takes a deep breath, and he pulls what you can only assume is the mask off his face with…. a.. pop? He throws it into a cabinet underneath the desk.
He brushes his hair out with his fingers in the front, shaking his head a bit and muttering to himself about how ’it always messes up my bangs’, it doesn’t take him long to finish grooming himself and soon-
He looks up.
