I hadn't really considered it. If I'm being truly honest.
[ He said it simply and truthfully, he'd just been...taking those days as they came. Taking the moments he could with mortals who ached for sin and just...living. ]
My Kingdom is gone, or at best, my life is since Sabrina and her traitorous little friends would have no interest in saving me from such a harsh fate.
[ He mused lightly with a little tilt of his head as he glanced down at John.]
So yes. I suppose...trapped here. Hells, that's depressing when you put it like that.
[ John doesn't know it, but he has a death of his own to go back to should he ever leave here — and at the hands of the very thing that had killed him here as well. Caliban knows what he goes back to... what's happened to him... for John to not know... it might be for the best.
Lifting a hand, he lets his fingers brush along the curve of the demon's neck, watching how they trail down to his shoulder and then along his arm. ]
I don't know what to do here.
[ He says then, softly. ]
I've been here for over two years now and I still don't know. [ A realization settling in the closer his birthday gets. ] People just get jobs, own businesses, host parties, get married and shit. I just don't... know where I fit in with all that. I still don't.
[ Caliban seemed to be lost in his own thoughts for a moment before he blinked at John's words, his body leaning into those fingers as they teased down along his arm for a moment.
Still, those soft words did seem to snap him out of it as he turns his head to look at the mutant proper.]
Well, I would offer to marry you again, though I do feel like we've gone down that particular path.
[ He pointed out with that affection running through his voice as he let that light comment play between them before he simply sucked on the inside of his cheek.]
[ He doesn't really know. He's always just been... here. ]
People start things— they start lives here and all and I... I just don't. Even if you asked me how I would or what I'd like to do... the thing is I don't know. I never have. I just always look at it as making it through another day.
[ So maybe it's more he's been surviving than living when it comes to being here, but. That's just his whole life, really. ]
