Yeah. One at a time. [ he shakes his head a little ] We can let him pick. As of right now, they're both suspicious-- and I trust him to be able to make a judgment call.

[crashout]

I do, too. And I trust you to tell him this. You have a better relationship with him than I do, he's just the guy I sometimes trade info with and who's going to teach me to fight.

[unpredicktable]

[ dicks nods easily enough, though he-- it's not a smile, but it's the closest he's got right now ]

Yeah. He asked me who I thought might benefit from that.

[ lol ]

[crashout]

...really? [ He sounds a little annoyed but not really.] I know how to take care of myself just fine. I'm helping because I know it's a task for information.

[Also because he could benefit but whatever.]

[unpredicktable]

[ pfft ]

It's not an insult. I was-- I used to do that a lot. [ he shrugs ] And most of the people I trained had superpowers.

[crashout]

...yeah, I guess it makes sense. I've had a few people get on my case here about learning to fight. Figured we have nothing else to do, so...sure.

Kagachi might actually kick my ass.

[unpredicktable]

Oh, probably. [ with no remorse??? ] He's more of a weapons guy, though-- once his task is over I could show you a thing or two about close combat.

[crashout]

I know how to use some weapons but I'm keeping that one close to the vest, so to speak. But close combat could help. I've been thinking about buying those brass knuckles from the gift shop. At least I know how to throw a punch.

[ he looks critically at junpei for a second ]

You sure?

[ it's light. he is. attempting. To Quip ]

[crashout]

I've knocked Carlos on his ass a few times. Sigma, too. [He grins just a little. He can accept the quip it's fine. Also thanks for not explaining who Sigma is, Junpei, whatever. ] Isn't it something like it's not the size but how you use it?

[unpredicktable]

[ that does net a real grin-- fleeting, but there ]

Yeah. It is. [ considering junpei's speaking to a guy who was tangling with superheroes pre-puberty, but also-- ] Though you definitely picked that saying in this place on purpose.

[crashout]

["Got you to grin, didn't it?"]

Yeah, well...what can I say? There's something about being here that makes it harder to ignore. [A shrug.] Can't be helped.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick lets his head rest against the wall for a second ]

"Harder"? Really? Bad.

[crashout]

That one wasn't on purpose. Total coincidence, my bad.
