[𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐎=𝐎𝐍𝐄 @invite_hell]

it does. would you like to feel?

[— SIN KISKE .ᐟ.ᐟ @evergrowingsin]

" That could be it . . but my own electricity doesn't really bother me much. It only tickles a little, like when you sit on your foot for too long.

Does your shadow-ey stuff have a feel to it ? "

[𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐎=𝐎𝐍𝐄 @invite_hell]

i'm afraid i do not know, no. it's difficult for me to imagine the taste of a toad.

are you certain the tingling is not from your lightning?

[— SIN KISKE .ᐟ.ᐟ @evergrowingsin]

( It's okay, the blood of juno ensures nigh-immortality for the not-so-little guy. Toxins are light work ! Though, his parents would probably freak out if they saw Zato giving him a toad to eat. Lol. )

" Kinda spicy ! Like . . tingly and stuff, 'ya know ? "
