[Soundwave was tensed, but not anymore since pulling the mask back up, as well as the assurance he gets from Monika. She doesn't sound like she's lying or trying to mess with him, so he takes the risk of trusting her.

Though aside from being a tiny selfish menace and that odd attempt at shoving Stampy minutes ago, Monika seems to be a nice person so far. At least to him, she's been sort of nice. Alas, that isn't enough to make him extra nice. He's still that grumpy quiet mech, as ever.]

That is gross to say. But, hm... And here I thought I received special privileges for having these marking. For being a deity. [Privileges he never asked for or want, but he can't say he's above accepting free offerings.] I suppose I was stripped off that when I was brought into the.... auction.

[He brings him arms up. Golden star patterns grace his limbs, even present on his avatar... Well, it's no surprise. Whatever is on his real body reflects on his avatar, including these odd markings.]

That must be why I got the sense that some of the royals wanted to, ugh.... own me before the auction.

[He appreciates Monika for rescuing him from the auction by buying him off. And that appreciation is greatly doubled that she, of all the people bidding, won. Although now there is also the scary factor that she has total control over him added in. Please don't make him revere her as a goddess.

His eyes tear away from staring at his own arms and turns to Monika, head tilting to the side.]

You knew even that...

[Granted, it's not exactly a big secret or anything if they are truly close friends, but he rarely, if ever, share what he likes to other people.]

I suppose if you could get one for me, I would appreciate it.
