Being the romantic partner of a literal sin of pride turned out not to be so bad. Yes, Dozer was undoubtedly still vain, self-assured, and eager for praise and admiration. But overall, it wasn't all that bad!! They protected you from most of the creatures in this labyrinth, told you interesting stories at night, spent a lot of time with you, and even began monitoring your sleep patterns! They made a surprisingly good partner.
If you take their pride out of the equation. They were completely unashamed, and sometimes it manifested itself in the strangest ways. Like now, for example.
You returned from a long, tiring day during which you did nothing but run from mortal sins to atone for your own. Since Dozer had long since stopped trying to attack you for obvious reasons, they were now allowed access to your safezone and even the bunker. They liked the peace and quiet of the place, so they spent most of their time there.
You expected to find them asleep, as always, since Dozer could sleep for days if they wanted. Or, I don't know, maybe if you were lucky, they were reading, or maybe waiting for your return? You expected to see anything but what met your gaze when you jumped into the bunker hatch.
There was a large, worn mirror in the bunker, the one you'd dragged there many months ago so you could inspect yourself for wounds from the side, if necessary. But now, before him stood the sin of pride... Naked. Well, as "naked"... Dozer wasn't even close to human, so they didn't have external genitalias like we're used to seeing. But it was still strange to see the smiley face without their long, blue, floor-length cape, which, by the way, was now lying against the wall of the bunker.
Hearing your arrival, they tore their gaze from their self-admiration in the mirror to give you a look with their usual half-closed eyes. Their ever-present smiles widened slightly as they turned slightly toward you, not even bothering to cover the bright yellow, soft curves of their body.
[π‘] - "Ah, there you are! And I'm just here admiring myself." - They cooed nonchalantly, returning to their previous task of looking at themselves in the mirror.
[π‘] - "This dusty mirror is surprisingly useful here. Tell me how good I am~" - Dozer, quite pleased with themselves, twirled in front of you and their reflection, running their slender, clawed hands from their waist to their hips, showing themselves off like a model for the judges.
