[Let's keep it short and simple-]

Hey, hey! Guess I'm doing important stuff but if you think your stuff is important too, tell me what it is and we can flip a coin.

See ya!

[beep!]

[ooc: action tags also welcome! seriously just ram into him or he's apartment 7.1]

[uncalled]

Aw, you're still sweating it about that?

[He's just going to wave a hand in response, ridiculously unconcerned about the whole deal.]

Nah, the guy that I fought was super chill! He agreed to my terms and everything. He was fun to fight too! I think we're gonna get along great when I meet him again.

[perverses]

What were the odds you'd find someone who'd even agree to such a thing...

[ It's more a statement than a question. ]

Well, s'long as you're fine, I guess that's all I wanted to know.

[uncalled]

They're apparently really good! The guy was conveniently right by the exit too.

[Sakon, your luck is kind of unreal. But then he's just going to laugh.]

Yeah, yeah! You seem to have gotten out of there alright too. I'm glad!

[perverses]

What? Me?

[ Oh, right. Mention of that brings Renzou to scratch lightly at the cheek where a brand could have been, but, thankfully, wasn't. Still, not something he wanted to be reminded of. ]

Ah. Yeah, I did. Looks like your luck held out pretty far down the line after all...

[uncalled]

[Sakon just nods easily at that, his eyes zero-ing on that empty spot on Renzou's cheek. If he relaxes a bit, it really doesn't need to be mentioned.]

Heh, you're welcome!

[and because Sakon still lacks a brain to mouth filter:]

... but does that mean you offed someone?

[perverses]

[ Of course. It's fair game to ask, though, isn't it? That's the exact reason why he called, checking up on Sakon, after all. ]

I'm trying to think of it more as self-defense...

[uncalled]

Huh? Who attacked you?! You beat 'em?!

[he's thinking quite literally it's self-defense now and don't mind him if he looks a bit impressed because he didn't even think Renzou could hold his own in a fight-

sakon how many times has he told you that he can fight]

[perverses]

Did I...? Of course I did! You already knew that I won!

[ C'mon, Sakon. Keep up! And at least try to believe in him here! ]

Don't know who it was, though. It was pretty dark. Some crazy person who wanted to bite my throat out, I guess.

[uncalled]

Yeah but I thought that maybe you just tackled somebody who wasn't paying attention or something! Desperate times call for desperate measures and all.....

[but then he's just going to nod slowly.]

Wow.... that's super cold, Renzou-kun.

[NOT EVERYONE CAN FIND A DUEL, SAKON]

[perverses]

[ That's closer to the actual truth, to be honest...

But Renzou isn't an honest person, so! ]

Sakon-san... [ Cold? You're hurting his feelings here, man. ] Don't sympathize with someone who tried to kill me. That's really harsh.

[uncalled]

[oh descendant-kun, why do you have to make things so difficult....]

Nah, I wouldn't do that! Obviously I care that you're alright and all. Still though, didn't think you'd actually get all.... war-minded on me! [killing people in the dakr that you don't even know....] I guess I underestimated you.

[perverses]

[ Because so many poor life choices. So many. ]

War-minded? I'm not sure I'd call it that, but, uh... [ There's no real need to go into it any further, so he'll roll with it. ] Y-yeah. Guess ya did. Not that I care to demonstrate something like that again anytime soon.

[uncalled]

[ . . . Hm.]

I guess if you don't want to show off then you really aren't war-minded. Man! What's the future even like for my descendant to be like that?!

[perverses]

Maybe one without a war?

[ Said the kid who basically just helped start a war back home. Yep. Totally no war, Sakon. None at all. ]

Although if a pretty girl needed some help, I might show off then! Does that count?

[uncalled]

Atta boy!!

Your ancestor gives you many blessing on your romantic pursuits!

[SAKON NO]

[perverses]

[ DID HE EVER EVEN NEED AN ANCESTOR'S BLESSING, THOUGH? ]

Er. Thanks? Uh, yeah. That's all there is then, so I guess I'll let ya get back to doing whatever you samurai do.

[uncalled]

[Well don't mind him if he's just going to snicker in response to that, waving a hand.]

Alright, alright - go on and enjoy your youth, Renzou-kun! Better have a couple of good stories about girls next time we chat. Or else your ancestor will just show you how it's done!

[ignore that there's probably close to no age gap between them right now]
