[ he snorts. ]

Well, I was just thinkin' there's better ways than just throwin' yourself off a stage. I was gonna fight someone for it.

[unbr8kable]

Oh yeah, that'd definitely be more interesting. --Hey, you probably know a lot about fighting, huh? Teach me.

[grandschemed]

-- I don't remember tons about fightin'. Like it comes kinda naturally, but I dunno if I'd be a great teacher if I can't even put words to it.

[unbr8kable]

[waves a hand]

Okay, fine. How about you practice beating up some people, and I watch and ask some questions or something? Like--like a master class or something?

[grandschemed]

I mean, I could try givin' straight up lessons to ya too if ya don't mind me bein' a bad teacher.

[unbr8kable]

You're a probably dangerous old man I've known for about twenty minutes, most of which were spent watching you go after some stranger with a knife. I'm not really looking for teacher qualifications or five-star reviews.

Hey--if you're worried, we can make it one of those live things, so even if it's a shitshow, we still get some points for it.

[grandschemed]

Now that's an idea. I dunno how much we'd be doin' for my unit's live points, though -- ain't count if I'm breakin' people.

[unbr8kable]

Okay, what if we gotta use weapons from the environment? Now you're breaking stuff AND people!

[grandschemed]

Well shit, yer right. Not worried weapons might be a bit step one?

[unbr8kable]

No pain, no gain. All that worrying's gonna make you go bald, y'know.

[grandschemed]

No offense but ya look like, 16, tops. Ain't gonna feel great if I go too hard on a teenage girl.

[unbr8kable]

Then don't go "too" hard! It's just some friendly sparring, not a death match. It'll be fine, trust me!

[grandschemed]

[ his last friendly fight with a guy he's pretty sure he broke a rib his standards for this are fucked ]

Ya sure? I mean, ya seem pretty stubborn.

[unbr8kable]

[eh, ribs are made to be broken :')]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[but after a breath, she softens a little, expression growing a little self-conscious]

...Look. I know this's kind of a weird request. But we're kind of in a weird situation, right? And when stuff happens, I wanna be strong enough to take care of my important people. You understand that, don't you?

[grandschemed]

[ look



that's cheating. his face visibly seems to soften some itself, before he laughs, humorless ]

-- Geez, ya really know how to get a guy by the balls. But yeah. I getcha.

[unbr8kable]

[she at least looks honestly uncomfortable, even as she seems relieved at the acknowledgement]

So-- Yeah, that's where I'm coming from. Obviously I can't force you into anything, but... If you'd consider it, I'd appreciate it. Sir.

[grandschemed]

One rule; no callin' me sir. That shit's way too formal. You can call me Oni, alright?

[ trying to lighten the mood a little, since he can tell she's a bit uncomfortable ]

[unbr8kable]

[happily grabbing at this out]

Oni, huh? Red or blue?

[grandschemed]

Red's on my tatts, right?

[unbr8kable]

Heh, figured. I don't think we'd get along if you were a blue oni-type anyway.

[grandschemed]

What's the dealbreaker there?

[unbr8kable]

Nothing like that. It's more that someone who mostly acts from the heart is more my style than someone who mostly acts from the head. And vice versa, I'm pretty sure I'd drive anyone who's super logical nuts.

[grandschemed]

Well... Gotta agree with you on that one. I feel like I'd get along more with guys who go with their gut more'n anything else.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah! Just--feels more trustworthy, somehow. If they're doing stuff they believe in, you can believe in them, too.

[grandschemed]

Right? Don't want someone who'll turn their back on ya out of logic.
