[But not that sorry, you knew what you were getting into.]
[Griffin's... conflicted tone doesn't leave. If anything he sounds even less sure the more he's able to think about it. And he gives an indignant huff at being called picky.]
It's not like I had anyone teach me how this shit works. I thought I was human. Was only half right about that.
Which means I'm either insane for a human, or... too soft for a demon?
The demon parts were pretty obvious, for what it's worth.
The rest of it, sure. Maybe you just want to go hard as a human. Or soft as a demon. I don't know. But I'm not gonna follow whatever absurd code you have.
[look, would most humans be okay with coming out of sex looking like they half went through a meat grinder. or look at getting marked that stone cold?
[He... falls quiet at that. Griffin's face burns, ashamed. Even if it being a novice was natural, it still ate away at him to feel like he was lacking. That all he could do was overcompensate for it, in a way that was so transparent.

Don't make me give you another black eye!
[Plops down and takes ONE piece, because holding pizza in a metal claw isn't easy or all that hygienic.]
no subject
[he is going to finish his slice.]
But also I’d like to see you try.
no subject
You wanna go again?!
[He's only half serious, but also
Half serious]
no subject
Nah. Today’s my victory.
You gonna need a haircut, by the way?
no subject
Probably.
[He assumes Jay meant in the near future, or before bed, something. Shoves the rest of slice #1 in his face.]
no subject
I could probably cut it for you.
no subject
What, you can cut hair now?
no subject
no subject
I mean. If you want to so bad.
no subject
‘Sides, it’s just “cut as short as possible.” That’s easy.

[He knows Jay wouldn't, not on purpose. But he's still a dick.]
Whatever. Less hair for you t'pull on.
no subject
[IF GRIFFIN NOTICES-- his hair is short. but it is definitely not buzzed.]
Also, you liked getting your hair pulled.
no subject
[...He's not really sure how, though. There's kind of a confused shift in his eyes as he tries to distract himself with his pizza.]
no subject
anyway, he's just going to one of the drawers, after wiping his hands off, and then pulling out a pair of scissors.]
Would you let me do it again?
no subject
If you're still stronger than me.
[That's the only thing that makes sense to him.]
no subject
[he's going to use the shreds of old clothes as the way to catch Griffin's hair.]
no subject
[He's taking his fourth and last slice, aware that not everything he's saying makes sense from a human standpoint. Unsure how he feels about that.]
no subject
Demon rules?
Damn, you're the pickiest demon I know.
[anyway, he's going to start cutting.]
no subject
[But not that sorry, you knew what you were getting into.]

he's a bad example.]
What's the fun if I make it easy?
[this is normal barbershop talk]
no subject
[Somehow(???) hair got on his pizza slice and he has to spit some out.]
You're... all right with it?
no subject
[finish your pizza bro]
And that is what it is.
no subject
[He... falls quiet at that. Griffin's face burns, ashamed. Even if it being a novice was natural, it still ate away at him to feel like he was lacking. That all he could do was overcompensate for it, in a way that was so transparent.
He finishes eating the slice in silence.]
