X flinched when Griffin growled at him, but he didn't curl up in a ball and cry or freak out about it. Another snap, or even a raised hand, and he would've, but for now, he was trying to keep his composure. "Don't act so high and mighty like you know everything!" He growled right back. "I know damn well who's suffering and who isn't! Don't talk to me like I don't know!" He simply held a deep resentment towards creatures who'd been sought out for the exotic aspects about them. In his experience, they were treated better. Fed better, kept clean better, kept around longer... They weren't forced to work; people showed them off like they were proud. Admittedly he didn't want to be anyone's trophy, but the demon would've much preferred it when he saw how people looked ay himself. Looked at him like he was worthless, an animal with little reason or discourse, and no mind of his own. X bit back a choked sob and turned away entirely from Griffin after that. "J-just leave me alone." He was done talking to him for the day.
