kuja would be both! as a master, he's smug and playful toward his prize companion, deeply possessive to whatever he's deemed worthy of being his, and much more openly affectionate and indulgent than he would ever be on even terms. the sweet comes with a deep current of bitter, though-- he's a definite sadist, that loves seeing how far someone can be pushed, and his childish ire is easily incited. he'd never wanna ruin his pet for real, though! ...if you were that weak all along, he really overestimated you. aw, poor thing. he didn't mean it. it's natural, really, you're on such different levels -- let's fix you up.
one thing can be said is that as long as he still cares to keep you... he is never cold, to what's his.
(...even as a master, he's secretly a furry still.)
as a pet the real mental illness begins. AS A PET: do you like cats? that's great. this isn't a cat, though he fronts a lot LIKE a very well-manicured, dainty, luxury-loving one. this is more of a massively neurotic maltreated dog situation, who really really wants to be a Good Boy but also consciously hates the idea of ever being anyone's Good Boy ever fuck you for trying to tell him what to do. he's a liar, an extortionist, and a thief-- and whatever it is you care for most, it should be him, dammit.
...metaphors aside, though, this is actually a curious monkey. his tail keeps grabbing things! even though he tries to hide it if you call too much attention to it. it's so cute. his coat color on his documents says red, but on first glance seems to be silver...?
long termly... he's the sort of pet that responds to the temperament of his master. one thing he'll always do is test boundaries. is this allowed? is this still not? do you still care about this? do you still pay attention when he does that?
there's nothing worse than someone who just doesn't care, and he'll go to wild lengths to earn the attention of someone who doesn't seem to. ]
