[She waits, and she listens. Celeste is clever and perceptive, and she trusts Celeste will tell her the truth. Maybe that's stupid, too. But Celeste's had plenty of opportunities to hurt or lie to her, and she hasn't. Even when she'd be right to. Even when Mukuro would have let her.
So when Celeste says "I'm not sure" - Mukuro nods, after a moment.]
...That's what I think too.
[And that, knowing she'd guessed the same as Celeste, makes her all the more sure of her choice.]
It doesn't feel like She's - lying, when She says it. But She's not - She's a god. She doesn't feel things the way humans do. Right...?
[Mukuro's sure She does care, in some way. However She's able to, as a creature so vastly different from them. Mukuro doesn't follow her because she needs to be loved - as nice as it is, it's not something she can trust. Not completely. She follows her out of thanks, and in exchange for the power to keep her pack safe. That's enough for her.
Feeling cared for like that - it's a bonus. But - she's got that here, too.
She noses lightly at Celeste, unwilling to put her cold wet nose directly on the demon, but wanting to be close all the same.]

...Anyway. I'm glad you're back.
