"My my my... So defensive. I didn't mean an actual tail, darling. I meant it in completely different terms..." Shivan's own hazel eyes are filled with amusement at the reaction- not even a trace of fear at how close Kuja is. He's not the first to invade the brunette's personal space, and honestly, he won't be the last to do so.

@xkuja

Sephiroth's cold and calculating gaze feel upon Kuja, curious where this question had come from. He figured that the other man hadn't shown any real interest in him for the most part, so he doubted he would care to look into his background any further. Perhaps he was up to something, but the madman felt no real concern and only a lingering sense of curiosity.

"A see little reason to flaunt for the attention of lesser creatures. It is beneath me."

He didn't bother to answer Kuja's real question, but that was intentional. He wanted to see how the other man would react, to see how much his lack of a real response bothered him. Kuja could be quite entertaining after all.

@xkuja - "Are you okay? Have you got a headache again?" /s (concerned oddities starter)

"You have no idea..." the ruler drawled out in aggravation. Ire stewing behind that lavender gaze fell down upon the youngest comrade- and the term was used lightly for this one meddling within the cogs of grander schemes.

Fingers delicately tap against his scepter, a spell teasing to be freed beneath the troublemaker's feet. A bit of friendly fire midst cycles wasn't uncommon in the slightest. It would be simple taking care of annoying gadflies, but no, the Emperor taps the rod against the crystalline floor in some shred of decisive mercy for a better tact and instead incinerating all crystalline fragments in turn whilst the gears of stratagem already began turning anew.

Temporarily mesmerized by his own hellfire dancing in his eyes, the Emperor's anger tightened around the golden scepter. "You've outlived your usefulness, Kuja. Be grateful it is Ultimecia's proposal preventing your charge into the next cycle, for I would have discarded you long ago."
