[It's taken Asterios a few tries to get this thing to work - technology is still beyond him, really. But he's pretty sure he got it working this time, though he gives the screen a few more pokes just in case. Holding it in one hand, he tries to angle it so it only shows his face, and not his giant horns and his scarred body. He figures the less they see the better his odds. Anyway...]
... It is clear. Staying... a while.
[He speaks slowly, his voice surprisingly soft if you don't know him.]
While here... I am, thinking, maybe... learn, more words. Easier to... communicate? Want to learn words. Any words. But... can offer. Little, in return.
[Pause, trying to think it over.]
Am strong. If need strength... I can, lift. Carry. Break. Fight. In exchange.
Okay. Thank you.
[A beat. Is he missing anything?]

[He doesn't smile, but his face looks a heck of a lot softer.]
Will listen... to all, the songs. New song. Every day.

Let me know which ones are your favorites once you figure it out. We can talk about them and maybe you can even give singing a go.

Also it's fun.

[Time to learn a new word, apparently!]
no subject
The more you talk the easier it will get.
no subject
[Slow nod of understanding!]
I need... to have... clear. Vocal...ization.
no subject
You didn't have a lot of people to talk back home or...?
no subject
Before... Euryale... talked. To no one. Had no one... to talk to.
[Not like the people you're eating are much for conversation.]
no subject
[ No they're usually not up to chat :| That with being a meal. ]

I used to hate living here but going back is not an option for me anymore.
no subject
[That's definitely not something he's going to pry into.]
We will do... what we can. And the rest... will happen. Some things... difficult. To fight. To avoid.
no subject
Good plan. We can't do much but live int he present moment.
I also didn't want to talk to you about something you mentioned when you were carrying me after the battle. My brain was mush back then so I didn't think of it but...I'm only half human too.
no subject
[Slight interest. Trying to pretend he's not caring. But he does care a little.]
no subject
But father....I didn't know about it until a few years ago but my biological father was this being made of energy, called a Celestial.
Also he was a planet.
And a huge jackass.
no subject
[Well. He can sorta not exactly relate. Though he has to admit that a parent being a planet is a new one.]
... You're not. A jackass.
[if he understands the word correctly.]
no subject
Thanks. It's good to know we're not alike in that regard.
[ Even of he doubts it fairly often. ]
That's the thing, we don't need to be like our parents.
no subject
[This can be taken literally - his mother is human, his dad is... a bull... so, no, he will not be like either of them.
But, in the sense of his parents doing dumbasses and ignoring what gods told them to do, leading up to this mess? He can say he won't be like that either. Lack of knowledge doesn't mean lack of common sense. He will do his best to pick his battles.]
no subject
You didn't get along with them or...?
no subject
[The moment of birth, and that had involved a LOT of screaming.]
