Oi.

Most of you already know about it, but there’s a daily morning training where some people are working so that they can help you figure out how to transform or what your Meister ability is. I’m one of them and as such I have an important message for you. I’m only going to say it once, so wash your ears and listen.

The next smiling idiot who shows up unprepared and expects us to just do all the work for them will be drowned. Don’t waste our time when you can’t even use your poor excuse of a brain to try and think about the solution of your own problems!

..That’s all.

[He smiles again, but it's a bit less "charming" than it was previously.]

See? I knew you could smile! Try it again, but with less of an undertone of "I just killed a puppy."

[poisonwords]

Okay.

[He takes a deep breath, dons a serious face - and then breaks into the most sadistic 'you idiot you just ran into my trap and killed yourself' shit-eating smirk that he can muster without it actually happening.]

Like this?

[wordsgate]

[WAUGH!

No, no, he's not going to let Ryuuji win by showing any sort of negative reaction. he keeps smiling, although his left eye slightly twitches.]

...Perfect.

[poisonwords]

[He laughs and suddenly his smile is real. Well, almost, it's just another act but a damn good one.]

You're a terrible liar, Sasame-san. In a battle something like that would kill you.

[wordsgate]

[Well, he doesn't think he's all that bad at lying...but it could just be that the other Knights are, for the most part, idiots. Either way, some of his tension is gone and he's slipping back into a smile again.]

I think I'll choose to take that as concern...so, thank you. I'll keep that in mind the next time I have the misfortune of being in a battle.

[poisonwords]

Take it how you want, I'm no good with people. I'm not strong either, so I get pissed when people with brute monkey strength and no brains walk in and make things worse by thinking that waving a big enough stick around brainlessly will make everything better for sure.

[wordsgate]

Are you saying people...threaten you at training?

[poisonwords]

Of course not. Don't be silly.

[wordsgate]

No? So you mean...overenthusiastic people?

[poisonwords]

[Sigh]/small>

Forget it, it was a metaphor.

[wordsgate]

Ah, I see. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. [He really does mean that. Although he's also frustrated that understanding him isn't coming easily. He's usually better with people than this...]

[poisonwords]

What the hell made you think anybody could bully me and get away with it? [He'd melt the face off of whoever tries, that's a well-known fact. Bullying dragons is more healthy than Ryuuji.]

[wordsgate]

[Sasame is the PICTURE OF INNOCENCE and is quite affronted that you would assume otherwise, good sir! He is certainly not the sort to make sarcastic, needling comments and pass them off as jokes. No sir, not him.]

Bully? I'm sorry--is that what you think I was trying to do?

[poisonwords]

[He snorts. Cheesy and childish, what a combination.]

I wasn't but you are welcome to try if you want to meet my shikigami.

[wordsgate]

[OH he meant...oh. Now he's definitely backpeddling.]

Ah, well--no. [sigh] I'm sorry. We're...getting off on the wrong foot. I don't have any reason to want to fight you, particularly not since you're Kei's friend.

[poisonwords]

[He looks to the side, but there is the softest of snickers.

You have been had.]

I'm touched at so much care.

[wordsgate]

[Arrrghhh--no, stay calm, don't let him get to you. He takes a deep breath and smiles.]

I'm glad you think so. I do care.

[poisonwords]

[...]

Is there anything else you wanted?

[wordsgate]

...No. Just wanted to say "hello."

[poisonwords]

..."hi".

[wordsgate]

[He chuckles--he's just going to assume that's a joke--and gives a little wave.]

Hi!

[poisonwords]

[There is a pause as Ryuuji debates just hanging up on him. He doesn't really enjoy this kind of games.]

You are like Kei, right? And also a Weapon?

[wordsgate]

I'm a Weapon, yes. I'm not sure what you mean by "like Kei."

[poisonwords]

...do you know what kind of weapon?

[wordsgate]

I haven't transformed yet...but I have a hunch that I'll be a bow.
