Voice-testing? Canon is Tokyo Ghoul:Re

[rozewald]

Nein!

I will not participate in this ridiculous waste of time! My purpose is to stay by Master Shuu's side, not to be loitering around dragged about on the whims of a ridiculous human!! I am already dealing with that from the little mouse as it is.

Now fort von hier! Go away!

What's with the tantrum? If your master needed you he'd say so. But here you are.

[rozewald]

I am not having a tantrum! And if you must know, my Master happens to be unwell and is in no condition to be calling for me. I simply have to be close by.

[secutor]

It's a thin line between righteous indignation and hapless flailing.

Are you going to heal him with your aura? You don't look like a nurse to me.

[rozewald]

Tch! Unwissenheit! Do not speak of situations you do not understand.

And my methods are not your business, plus I never claimed to be a nurse.

[secutor]

That temper of yours reveals more than you know. Besides, your business is in fact my concern.

Sure (you just want to be one). I think you're here of your own free will.

[rozewald]

Oh? And how so?

What exactly would be my motive for being here? I take no joy in being surrounded by meddling strangers.

[secutor]

You're our natural predator, hence it's my affair.

Your motive is overcoming indecision. You don't know if you're coming or going, do you?

[rozewald]

You have no right to condescend to me, trash. "Our"? Ha! You're not even fully human yourself.

I am not indecisive! I would not be of use if I did not live with a sense of direction.

[secutor]

Don't I? You live in human society, not the other way around (you practically have no rights.)

[The remark on his humanity invites a grim look but that is it. The Germ makes a fair point.]

That very sense of direction led you to me. So, what are we gonna do about it?

[rozewald]

And they say there are more cows in the world than even humans. You are just viehbastand. Livestock.

I was not "lead" anywhere, you intruded upon me. [A scoff and glare. This one is particularly irritating to talk to.]

[secutor]

Livestock, huh. We're all eaten someday, the worms don't care for your linage.

Of course I have, you were kicking up a racket (your desire to be alone is disproportionate to your actions.)

[The glare is met with an unwavering gaze. This kid is used to getting his way, he thinks, temperamental. Let's gauge his reaction to a different tune.]

Maybe I wanted to. I suffer morons everyday just as you do. Our circumstances are different, but I know that anger.

[rozewald]

So you counter my "racket" with coming in to perturb me more? It seems counterproductive.

[That glare doesn't waver. The unintimidated stare only reminds the ghoul of Hori and irritates him more... But even then he does have some degree of trust for the mouse, but this one he doesn't trust an inch.]

.... What purpose does talking to me serve?

[secutor]

[Would be unwise to overlook a ghoul so pertinent to his case. He could follow protocol and report this, but there's no reward in it for him.

He looks off plaintively. Slow evening traffic.]

You're a cut above your peers (I'm told). I want to see if there's any truth in that—color me intrigued.

[rozewald]

[Kanae doesn't buy the flattery, tilting his head with a wry smirk.]

By engaging in idle conversation? I doubt your superiors would buy such an excuse for you not attempting to kill me on sight.

[secutor]

[His eyes sweep the area with no small degree of sarcasm.]

What superiors...? I conduct myself however I want (for now). And right now I choose not to engage. Neither of us are feral, we can handle a conversation.

[rozewald]

You surely understand my skepticism regarding you ability to control your human brutishness.

[But. This halfbreed works with Haise. Perhaps he might be beneficial in some way... Although he has to tread carefully, considering the family is already more involved than he had planned and now his hopes of killing Sasaki inconspicuously are ruined as well.]

[secutor]

[Unusually high standards for someone who feasts on flesh. Clearly conceit has a way of transcending species.

He steps forward. His gait certain.]

You're not afraid of me, are you? You're not a coward.

[rozewald]

[One eyebrow raises slightly, body otherwise unmoving. Urie is slightly taller but he stares him down with a haughty air.]

Of course not. As you said, I am no coward.

[secutor]

[He looks flatly at the Rosewald scion with his gloved wrists straddling the pockets of his coat. The kid's defiant attitude is problematic, but he'll just have to work with it. Stake a wager.]

Good. I think we can help each other, given our unique positions. But this isn't the time or place for it, wouldn't you agree? I want you to have my number.

[rozewald]

[A frown. This man is more than a bit suspicious and the ghoul dislikes his emotionless stare. There are very few humans like the guinea pig in the world, who willingly associate with ghouls for "interest", and this person hardly seems like the type.]

What reason do I have to believe in your intentions, halfbreed?

[secutor]

[There's no denying trust is thin. Naturally the feeling is mutual, he pours his faith in nothing but reason, and it's apparent the young ghoul's options are dwindling. His desperation makes him pliant.]

You should understand nothing is achieved without risk. The CCG will lean on your family until you break (history will repeat itself.)

But it doesn't have to end that way.

[He recites his number, his gaze never deviating from the ghoul's.]

Do what you will.

[rozewald]

[Kanae memorizes the number, but his expression stays cold, wary.]

... And what exactly is it that you would expect me to put forth into this collaboration? What is your kosten? What is worth your job and life?

[secutor]

[He's economical with details in front of prying eyes, precautions and all.]

I know your family is well connected. It's a simple relationship, I give you something and I get something back. A fair a deal as you're going to get.

[rozewald]

[The ghoul scoffs. This one is as vague as the damned girl and it's nothing short of grating on his already strained nerves. He grinds his teeth just slightly but straightens upright.]

Hmph. I suppose I acquiesce.
