"Ooh Fancy~" He Hands Over An Onion From His Newly Bought Bag. "I've Just Been Biting Into 'em To Test

"Ooh fancy~" He hands over an onion from his newly bought bag. "I've just been biting into 'em to test my sense of taste."

"No, no. No, Lightning, I'm quite alright." He considers it for a moment, though, and then, "Well, I suppose I'll take one. I'll caramelize it and put it in a quiche, perhaps."

"Aw, c'mon Angel, if you make me food I won't be able to taste it. That's just mean," he chuckles. "I lost my taste before the onions, I'm just using 'em for testing if it came back. Got cursed!"

"Because you need to eat something other than raw onions, Lightning, and I'm sure if it's killing your tastebuds so effectively, it's doing even worse things to your stomach. You need actual food to balance this out. I'll prepare you something. Give me a moment."

"Fine, I'll buy my own bag."

@lewinthelighton replied to your post “There seems to be an onion going missing from the...”:

Shhh, he's experimenting

"Quit eating the fucking onions! What is wrong with you!?"

Staring at him suspiciously.

"Are we having a staring contest?"

"Even if he wanted to, he can't. These grey demons are not kin to any Demon King and kinda just do their own thing." But then again, even if Mephisto had some control he probably wouldn't bother. "Thanks Angel, you always got my back," he grins. "I'll try to eat some apples, promise."

"Oh, dear, that's..." Alarming? Confusing? "I'm sure Mephisto has been of no help, as per usual." He's going to cross his arms over his chest and let out a small huff. "Well, if you're sure. Do let me know if I can be of any assistance to you, Lightning. We can look more into this when you're better. Perhaps expand your tasting attempts beyond just onions, though, I can't imagine that's very good for you."

"That I've lost all sense of taste," he says cheerfully, taking another onion and biting into it like an apple, peel and all.

He takes the onion, then nods slowly. This is not the weirdest conversation he's had today. "Of course. And have you come to any conclusions in these tests? Other than the importance of mouthwash."
