[if he wasn't in excruciating pain and trying to pretend that he's not, Osvaldus might've laughed. Instead, his smirk widens a fraction, even as he grimaces with a fresh wave of cramping in his muscles that makes his stomach roil. His hands are trembling, even as he grabs a hold of the edge of the chair and uses it to keep himself still sitting upright for a moment]
I....I said, do you look this pretty for everyone you meet, or am I special~? After all, we've seen each other a couple times. Admittedly, I hadn't been able to get a good glimpse of you then, but I certainly am now.
I, ah--[he winces again, doubling over his knees a bit as his muscles twitch and spasm--before he uses the seat of the chair to slowly, achingly push himself up onto it so he's sitting, panting]
Well...[he manages to lift his hand again, still smirking] ...can you blame me? Who else can say they've gotten a good look at Death and told you how handsome you are?
[alksdhfs Osvaldus can't help but bark out a laugh at that, though it's strained. If anything, his smirk pulls wider] My dear Enygma, you've brushed by me twice already. Do I strike you as someone who lets go of anything?
[he leans a bit, propping his chin on the table, like his insides don't feel like their burning and he wants to writhe.]
You may as well sit and have a chat. You are a guest in my apartment, after all. [he waves to the chair with a very shaky free hand]
Oh? [well, now you have his attention, eyebrows raising--at least it's distracting from the excruciating pain--though said eyebrows do suddenly drop again as he cringes, taking a moment to ride out the spasms, before he pants, sucking in air--then addresses another question in his direction]

[WHAT... DOES HE DO WITH THIS...?]
You're very talkative for someone who's dying.

You're straining yourself.
This will be easier if you let go.

[Stubborn sort. There have been lots of stubborn sorts. Sometimes they even get to talking. But they tend to be far more demanding than this.
It's almost polite.
...He'll sit.]
I'm impressed you're still holding on. And that you've avoided me twice over, now.

...You have not changed my mind on this matter, however.

But you do find me impressive~

...Why are you doing this?
no subject
Doing...what?

Surely you can see how foolish this was?

In my defense, I was told that the poison was less strong than it actually is.
But I need to be able to resist it, or my plan won't work.

Yes, yes, we'll get to that. But in the mean time, tell me more about you. [he props his chin back on his hand] How long have you had this job?

I can see why keeping track would be difficult--much less superfluous.
no subject
...I imagine I may have been something else, before that.
no subject
Before humans?

There are those older than I that would know better.
