Brain stiffens just a bit as Hermes puts a footclaw on his shoulder--but he can't help but choke on a laugh when he says he's nice. He shakes his head, relaxing]
You know, some times I almost start to take what you're saying like you really could understand and simply just don't, and then you say something ridiculous like that.
I'm not nice. [he looks bemused] Envy isn't all I am, but it is what has enabled me to evolve. It is and always will be my core emotion, just as Joy will always be Heart's, and Devotion will always be Medic's. I don't see it as a bad thing. It is who I am.
