Look at me. I am woven together by story, held firm by myth. Look at me. I will tell you of the men that ate me bloody. I will tell you of how ferociously I bit my way out of their stomachs.

[ JOONGHYUK IS... ANNOYING. Dimitri regards him with some exasperation—what rules is he even talking about? This just seems like a way to say that Joonghyuk does whatever he wants.

Dimitri, meanwhile, constricts himself with every expectation held of him. Even now, something plants his feet in his cell. ]

I never said I wouldn't aid you.

[ There have been so many senseless jailings, and no matter how rocky their start was, he needs to treat Joonghyuk fairly. That means getting him—and nearly everyone else here—out.

However, since he's being so stubborn, Dimitri relents and gives some actual reasons back. ]

...But I am suffering from a curse. It makes it difficult for me to leave this place, nor do I need to escape. Account for these things in your plans, and tell me what you need.

[ Expectations they set on themselves. Unfortunately, three(?) months in the Netherworld has not been long enough to domesticate him, so yeah. It means he will do what he wants.

There's a pause. ]

Fine.

[ Suspiciously easy and accommodating? ]
