Somewhat. [The answer comes quick and easy. It's a question he's been asked a dozen times before so he knows the answer. He doesn't always answer truthfully, but this time he will.] It's also a way to hide as well. People don't expect the most- [Dropping his tone to a lower level.] -evil man on the planet- [And then back up to his normal tone.] -to be a loud, spastic idiot. So I get left alone.

But I also don't want people to be afraid and to like me. I'd rather they be annoyed at me then frightened.

And well, [Now he just grins.] If I'm being honest? Sometimes it's just more fun.

[He's mostly honest. He doesn't talk about how sometimes it's important to not let people see you hurt. He knows Kitty probably already understands that one. Or the fact that sometimes he smiles when he's upset because he's so use to trying to hide his pain he doesn't know how to stop most of the time now.]
