[ He glances at the pill bottle, a question half forming, before he decides against it and turns back to the interesting spot in the floor. ]
That doesn't seem like anything that anyone would specifically choose, would it? At least, not how it manifests.
[ Diluc did call it a Curse Seal, after all. Doesn't sound pleasant, even if Kimimaro volunteered for it. Probably beats slowly turning into an alternate dimension, at least. ]
Not typically, but I don't know his life. It's not like children are known for rational decision making anyway; maybe he happened to be going through a phase at the time where he just thought skeletons were cool.
[ But yes, despite appearances, maybe not actually any worse than what they're stuck with.
Though on that subject... Hm.
He takes a drink, debating briefly whether he should really mention this in case it makes Julius more likely to use his power against him, and fuck if he's letting that happen. ...But, well, without little Ludger's watch on hand, they're probably on equal enough footing, actually. ]
...Catalyst transformations seem to be on hold here, by the way, or at least slowed. Not that I'm too eager to personally test the limits of that.
[ ... Well, that sort of answers the question that he had. It seemed weird that whatever had stopped his own progression wouldn't at least curb Rideaux's issues, but. Something came of it, he guesses. ]
It's good to know, at least. [ He says like he's known this whole time. That spot on the floor is looking pretty interesting right now. ] I have a feeling it probably won't be an issue, at least in the short term.
[ Like, even if Julius wasn't technically a sneeze away from turning into one at all times, it'd seem real anticlimactic for all that effort suppressing it to go to waste if one of them beefed it like that. ]
