"It isn't," Chrollo agrees. He has ideas about what dating should be, but he's so far removed from what life is meant to look like that he hasn't experienced most of it himself. And from his perspective, the reasons people ask and say yes are often worse than boredom.

The comment about what's actually the worst of it makes Chrollo laugh. As well as the line 'oh holy finger'.

"A mere finger? Not even a hand or a leg. Although, if there are five or ten of you, you'd have to reach for any other body part."

The tattoo, the twelve-legged spider with his number on it, hasn't come up, and Chrollo's beginning to doubt it will. Zero is less telling than most of the others would be.

Sending people out to be alone for a decade or two at a time sounds unbearably cruel. Chrollo doesn't send people on solo missions very often, usually when anyone goes off alone it's of their own choice. They all can operate alone but it's rare.

"Talking about entire worlds being devoured makes everything seem so... small." The world is a big place. Multiple worlds are bigger. Thirteen of them is barely enough to deal with a single known world full of people and monsters, there would need to be so many more of them if destruction on that scale was an option. "I'm guessing things like planetary revenants can't be killed with even a planet's worth of roses or you would've obliterated them already."

He has always constrained his goal in its scope. It's still an endless task, but not quite as out of reach as what it sounds like Pyrrha and the other saints were trying to grasp.
