[suchselfishness]

[ She stares at him for a long moment, obviously trying to come up with something else to argue. Unfortunately, she's used all of her excuses, and he's managed to counter all of them without much wiggle room at all. ]

... Maybe. But only today, for a little sport.

[toukakoukan]

[He's never really heard it referred to as advanced, but then again, there are a lot of different worlds people come from here.

He holds out his hand (automail one!) to shake with Obito, giving him a smile.]

Edward Elric. Are you new here too?

[frozenheavens]

I was just curious about what you were doing here. [A little defensively, since he's already self-conscious about approaching her again.]

[frozenheavens]

[He looks over, recognizing Gai but a bit taken aback by the candy. Somehow, this seems familiar...]

I'm Hitsugaya, yeah. What are you talking about?

[All that candy better not be for him.]

I fail HTML

[spandexisyouth]

I was told that you could use another friend because you have not been doing well here!

[Yep, all for him. Gai holds it out.]

And I was told that you enjoyed candy, so I brought some!

[clowned]

Why wouldn't it? Hurting someone with bad intentions and hurting them because you're trying to help someone are completely different.

[donttelldaddy]

It isn't hard. Imply that Shibusen is wrong about something, or that self-sufficiency is important. A slobbering, idiotic mob will come running.

[kill_some_time]

Of course. Your are an emotional human after all.

[clowned]

Yeah.

[ his face lights up and he stares off into the distance as he talks about it. ]

When I first got here. I'm going to have some more, though.

[heart_rhythm]

Right, of course! I think most people here are lacking partners, but you're right, it shouldn't matter. I thinking keeping up on your skills is important no matter how you fight here.

[mangekyou]

A little of both, namely the latter.

[kill_some_time]

Yet the pain remains the same.

[clowned]

Why are we even talking about this?

[kill_some_time]

Because it clouds your mind and leaves you struggling to find your ways... maybe.

[He steps back.]

[tuned_wrong]

[He laughs under his breath but doesn't smack him with the wing again.]

A youngster I met a while ago when I was helping with the welcoming ceremony. [Or rather, when he was using the chance to find out more about the inner workings of Shibusen and their technology on one of the rare occasions they let people into the deeper levels without being overly suspicious.] I said I would help her by sparring with her from time to time.

[timelessummoner]

I do have battle experience, though of course there is still much to learn.

[tuned_wrong]

I know it sounds ...little. The ones who go over there are pretty much only Sinners, Pursuers and those who they manage to summon. [He shrugs.] And look at the reputation those few got us.

[tuned_wrong]

Let's. [He leads the way, leaving it up to her to choose a free spot for them while he goes and gets them a pair of practice swords. When he returns, he offers one of them to her, handle first.] There you go.

[forhispeople]

That's what I like to hear! Some guts!

[He says this as if her answer had actually been something much more enthusiastic. Apparently he's ignoring her whining completely.]

Very well, let's work on punching, then, since that's what we were already doing. Come, stand here and face me. Get your legs shoulder-width apart and bend your knees a little.

[Ling gets properly positioned, and waits to watch her to check her stance.]

[megitsune]

Option two sounds more like my style. [She actually gives a sardonic little chuckle, under her breath.] I've never been good at following orders.

[megitsune]

And modest as well to go with it! I'm so impressed. You seem like you've been raised rather well, young Kuzunoha-san.

[She gives him a teasing wink.]

Watch out, now, or you might make me wish I were five or so years younger, ohohoho!

[telephony]

By all means.

[He raises a plate.]

Anything in particular catch your fancy?

[telephony]

Does this apply to you as well? I assume since you are the head doctor, or so I've heard.

/D-DIES

[prosecutory]

[...right. O...kay. He didn't take those down, and he clears his throat.]

You are skilled in combat?

[knifedances]

[And now it's speaking actual words that he can understand, something that 'creatures' really have no business doing, and yet that means it rises in his estimations just slightly though some people may be in disagreement over just which of the two of them is the monster. Because where there is language there is higher level functioning, and that means it's possible there is some fun to be gained from such a thing. He prefers humans and always will, finds anything else mildly abhorrent, but that doesn't mean he can't be curious. Though when he speaks again it's mostly to himself; a practice he quite frequently engages in]

Ah, talking frogs. What next? This place really is interesting~
