[The Monster takes a moment to flip the cigarette around as Eliot shows him, clearly not understanding what the difference is, but there's a lot about the things humans do that seem strange at first but he finds he enjoys. He's watched smoking enough times to understand what to do next, inhaling after it's lit and then blowing out the smoke. He takes too long of a drag, but luckily these are Eliot's lungs he's using and doesn't cough.]
On brand... [He parrots in that odd way of his that means he definitely doesn't know what that means. Because what is slang. But not knowing slang isn't important to him, so he continues, his voice heavy.] They took... everything. Bacchus would not explain why, so I- opened him up and took it back. A piece of many.
[He trails off, remembering when he killed Bacchus and the nice feeling it gave him. Then Iris. He smiles at that happy memory as well and looks at Eliot like he's sharing something he thinks the human would like hearing.] And then Quentin helped me kill Iris and take another piece. Lead her into a trap like they did to me... I think. I still don't- remember. But I know they did.
