...I don't remember half my time in the Demon Realm. Maybe more than that. I don't remember if I ate, or if I lived off of the raw El Energy in the land, or if the Crimson Eye's master kept me alive, or what.
All that information comes from passing through the area when I was sane again, when Ventus carried me back to Elrianode after this group of kids saved me.
[Despite, you know, repeatedly begging to die. He remembers that part clearly, because he'd wanted to be put out of his misery when his mind started to catch up with everything again. That never happened... and he supposes it's fine now. He's here and has Adrian, so everything worked out in some odd way.]
If you live in the Demon Realm full-time and aren't going insane in a tower of your own creation, then it's probably an acquired taste thing. The ferns were fucking gross. If I didn't need to keep my strength up as we left, I'd have told Ventus just to keep walking so we could eat at home.
[Even though there's a deadly-ass stinger in that tail, Rosso finds the gesture comforting. Before he turns his attention back to his soup to quite literally guzzle the broth down like he's never eaten a day in his life, he pats it idly with his free hand.
...
Alright anyway chugging broth while he processes what was said.]
Tch. Yeah, 'cause there's no El here to blow up and cause a global apocalypse that makes my now-nonexistent half-demon blood drive me insane.
[Then, much softer, because he knows Adrian was just trying to help:] I know. You'd keep me from losing it again.
[...]
That, or you'll drive me so insane I won't be able to fucking leave 'cause I'll wanna kick your ass so bad.
[That gets a huff out of the Manticore, his tail whipping around a little more as Rosso pets it. Carefully, it would be very un-sexy of him to accidentally slap that stinger into his leg and paralyze his boyfriend for the rest of the evening.]
That's what I'm here for, yeah? I gotta keep you on your toes.
[He leans over a little, lightly bonking his furry head against the side of Rosso's.]
Damn straight. You go anywhere and it'll be me who's kickin your ass.

In the meantime, he has to let one of those bones drop back into his bowl because he’d started chewing it so hard that it audibly cracked.]
Yeah. It sounds rough as hell.
[And that doesn’t even begin to describe it, he imagines.]
Least here the vegetation don’t fight you when you try to eat it.
[Then after a moment, he adds in a tone that feels a bit awkward since he knows he doesn’t know what he’s talking about-]
You ain’t ever gonna hafta go back to that place.
