For a little while it seemed like there was some kind of standoff taking place. All the while both Ereshkigal and Elysia watched and listened for Sukuna's reply to the supposed offered deal. Of course, he said no. But it wasn't just a no. It was a no that involved a certain amount of ownership. They belonged to him, as much as such a thing could apply and he wouldn't be turning them over. Didn't that create some kind of warm fuzzy feeling within the chests of both these individuals. To be chosen twice in a single day, and to have it reinforced that was just the best wasn't it? Even if the words he chose to use were a bit abrasive, the meaning of them was still the same. Bascially, Sukuna had told the man he couldn't be replaced. Ah, but it wasn't all.
In the same moment they both got to see a new curse in action. Watching as this spirit tried and failed at whatever he was doing only to end up, arms pinned to his sides being strangled. Sukuna reanimated the corpse of the fallen goddess, which Sukuna used to pin this Spirit/Demon hybrid and then he commenced to reclaiming what belonged to him. "That really was a lot like Enki," Ereshkigal said remembering the day her brother had approached her like he was in charge and then gotten himself dragged into the underworld. "Yeah, that was a pretty interesting curse though..." said Elysia as she watched on with a similar amount of interest. It was a sight to see, Sukuna ingesting his fingers gaining more of his power as he did so. He'd also basically pushed a hole into this creatures chest. It really did seem like he wasn't much of anything at all. Having successfully dressed each other, Ereshkigal and Elysia held hands seeming to find comfort in doing so. He even offered them one which got two startling different reactions. "No thank you," said Ereshkigal. But Elysia's face became one of the slightest hints of sadism. "She means we'll just take the mana afterwards~" she said with a grin. "Why are we like this?!" was the exclamation of Ereshkigal which only caused laughter. Once again this scene seemed to be one of mild amusement instead of a life or death situation.
