Psii rolled his eyes. He couldn't say whether he was more exasperated by Initiate's misunderstanding of a dumb joke or a human clinging to a clown like they were pupa pals.
By now, Psii had gotten used to a troll of the paint walking around. He was past shrieking on sight, anyway. But he couldn't bear thinking about face paint in too much depth. He stood to pace around with no set direction other than "away." Whereas a human would fear the dark, the shadows were comforting to a troll, and he stuck to them. The fire taunted him with its warmth on his back. Sam taunted him further with s'more temptation. Psii was sure the smell of roasting marshmallows would taunt him next. Stupid ignorant kind-hearted human.
By the time he gave up and grudgingly shuffled back, Initiate had finished putting on his face. Now Psii could cast suspicious sidelong glances at the clown like a proper lowblood.
"I never met a human food I didn't like," he said to Sam, dry protein bars aside. "Show me."
