If thoughts could be read, Dark would've responded with a 'tch.' Dark himself had his fair share of shadowing himself... since he really didn't have his own body. He was a spirit, watching the world in the eyes of his host. It was pretty lonely, yes, but he also got to take over the body every now and then... and honestly, he enjoyed every moment of it. He liked walking on his own feet.

Now that he got his own body, he was captured, unfortunately for him. He hated seeing freedom but not being able to reach it. It was annoying beyond recognition, which was the case, actually.

Luckily for him, it looked as if the boy had loosened up a bit already. Just a bit. The smirk was still a tad freaky, but he could deal with that.

"Yep, a promise!" he cheered. "Want to pinky promise that, just in case?" Hey, he couldn't help it.
