[leans forward a little, trying and failing not to turn red]

[bosssfight]

[...cute]

[leans up to kiss him, politely being careful with his fangs]

[steelmyself]

Aa-ah.

[chu]

I'm not a romantic, you know.

[but the door unlocks]

[bosssfight]

Do I seem like one?

[slithers out]

[steelmyself]

[following, stretching out slightly as he emerges]

Hmm. Snakes are associated with wisdom, which is really the opposite of romance.

[bosssfight]

Do I seem wise?

[steelmyself]

If you were, you'd cook your food.

[bosssfight]

That's not wisdom, that's just preferences.

[steelmyself]

Hmph.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get some ingredients to prove you wrong.

[bosssfight]

But I can't defend my side, can I...? You can't eat your meals whole.

[steelmyself]

I can.

In a sense.

I can consume human souls.

[bosssfight]

That's not really the same thing, as swallowing a body, at all. You can't consume the soul of a chicken dinner.

[steelmyself]

A legendary chicken dinner might have a soul...

[bosssfight]

Would that be the dinner that's legendary, or a dinner made out of a legendary chicken...

[steelmyself]

It would probably have to be both. Made from something like a cockatrice, and cooked with supreme skill.

[bosssfight]

Would the soul taste like the meal?

[steelmyself]

I don't know.

To be honest, I don't make use of that ability of mine.

[bosssfight]

If you don't use it, it's not comparable at all!

[steelmyself]

I suppose not...

If I ever have reason to consume someone's soul, though, I'll be sure to take note of how it tastes.

[bosssfight]

Humans... taste good.

[steelmyself]

So I've heard. I can't help but think they'd taste rotten.

[bosssfight]

Why would fresh meat taste rotten?

[steelmyself]

Oh, spiritually.

[bosssfight]

Oh, yes, most of them are probably gross, there.

[steelmyself]

[heading for the Junk Shop]

In any case, I wouldn't know how to cook a human.
