[He's half-tempted to push the spirit away, anything to get it to stop waving that butterfly around, anything not to have to talk about it--
In lieu of taking his discomfort out on the spirit that has really done nothing wrong except entertain itself, he takes it out on the one moving target he can.]
If that's the case, maybe you'd have more company if you didn't mouth off so much.
[Never has a more laughably hypocritical thing been uttered on this planet and he's utterly unrepentant about it, lifting his chin and crossing his arms, as if daring Riku to explain why he's once again inserting himself into the flow of M.K.'s heavy thoughts to hassle him. He's scarcely finished delivering his retort when the antics of his puffball companion seem to draw in more spirits--thankfully, to bounce around the legs of the other guy. Tit for tat indeed.]
I thought this was for saps?
[The fact that M.K. has failed to claim any of the lantern paper he and the spirit had drawn on as his own exempts him from sap status, or so he'd say. He isn't actually here to send a lantern off. He hadn't even meant to memorialize a symbol of the dead--it'd been a whim, nothing more. If he should be honoring anyone, it should be with a symbol of Azra, of his people.]
