[ When first told that the boss of all people had something to say to him, Toji relayed to whichever messenger with a crooked smile: "Uh oh, looks like I'm in trouble." In reality, Toji wasn't 100% certain why he was called to the piano room to talk to Knives but he doesn't mind it; being lower than him, really. Maybe he was going to receive praise.. wouldn't that be something? Toji has no idea what that feels like other than when he's on a kill high and praises himself for actually doing something impressive. That's all he's good at. Killing. Killing and fucking. And if that is how he's supposed to spend the rest of his miserable life, so be it. Being lower than others.. it's all he was ever told growing up anyway, so he's very numb and indifferent to the concept. All he wants to do is survive, and this guy pays his bills, so sure. He'll try to be somewhat respectful.
Somewhat respectful.
Toji stands firm and allows Knives to do his thing, not minding the eyes on him. Whatever little bit of pride left in him enjoys it; being looked over. The moment Knives removes his hood and reveals his face, though.. oh. Oh, no. He's pretty. Toji has never really gotten a good look at him before and.. wow. Those are some gorgeous looking eyes. At the question, he grins, scarred lips parting to reveal his teeth. ]
It's hard to dislike something you're really good at.
[ A beat, and then: ]
Usually, people can look but not touch. For you, I'll make an exception.
