[ after like, everything related to this past weekend the buffet is pretty much the last place that josh wants to be--
--but it's also the best place to find beel that isn't his cabana, probably. so josh is here, lurking (though beel will probably be able to smell his presence?) and waiting till beel gets some food from the buffet, and then he will join beel at the same table, a plate of the exact same things beel took earlier being pushed across the table towards him.
a peace offering for like, making beel eat heart tissue during that mess of a trial? probably, ]
[He definitely smells the angel lurking around. But he doesn't have the energy to care quite as much.
The demon isn't eating with as much vigor as he usually does. Beel doesn't look hurt, but there's a weight in his exhaustion that the act of eating can only dull so much.
When another plate hits the table, Beelzebub stops mid-bite, looking over to his company, then back down to the food.
...
A hesitant nod, as he slides the extra plate to his customary pile that normally surrounds him.]
...The others are exhausted, and I don't want my stomach keeping them awake. [So he doesn't know if he'd call this his usual appetite. But maybe big was just big to someone that wasn't in tune with his portions like his family.]
[ how do genuine compliments end up sounding smarmy when they come out of joshua's mouth, it is a mystery. but oh, does that second part intrigue him just a little bit. headtilt, leaning forward in his chair a little. ]
Depends on what kind of a favour it is, my dear Beel~
...Can you tell me what happened? With Lobelia, and the trial.
Everyone I've talked to has been avoiding it. I don't want to push them. They're tired, and hurting. But I feel like I deserve to know at least something.
[ he's going to start to count it off on his fingers ]
He provoked you, you literally tore his arm off in your rage and killed him, I think you were aware about that part but somehow he used that Tower tarot card power of his and killed you instead, literally ripped you apart and splattered you all over the floor to come back, and he made us watch him die a thousand times, over and over again.
Then Overhaul killed him for real and put you back together, which is why everyone's kind of terrified that you're going to crumble to pieces at any moment because for a moment, you actually were in pieces.
Thiiiiiiink that is the highlight reel, if that was what you were after.
