[must not let her get to him must not let her get to him—]

I think we know what would happen if you did.

[get the hint, witch.]

[recreant_pride]

[Oh she sees what you did there, Kid, and that makes her grin wider.]

You would be gettin' a lot more students wantin' to learn here, that's what.

[perfectorder]

And you wouldn't last more than eight minutes.

[recreant_pride]

Eight minutes? Not seven or six boyo? Deathscythe be slippin' if it take d'em so long.

[Oh she knows why, but that won't stop her.]

[perfectorder]

No. The only other option is instantaneous, but that would be far too gracious for you.

Eight minutes should be just enough to send home the lesson before finishing you off.

[long drawn out death to the perfect number of time? yeah, there's no problem with that at all.]

[recreant_pride]

'Gracious for me'? Don't you be meanin' 'no fun for you'?

And what would you be teachin' them? Illusions of how to win with a power they not be havin'?

[perfectorder]

You misunderstood.

The lesson is for you about what happens when a witch turns on us.

[recreant_pride]

[There's an arrogant grin on her face at the answer.]

You don't trust me. And here I be thinkin' that we be building somethin' special~

[perfectorder]

[a pause.]

No, I don't trust you. But only because you have yet to give me a reason to do so.

However, I will say this, Cybele. I am not so closeminded to not realize the importance of such an alliance between us. But whether something actually comes out of it will also be up to you.

[recreant_pride]

[She continued to smile at him even as he spoke. Time would tell if he was closed-minded, and perhaps, in some ways, she still was as well even if she had accepted this alliance between them. She would never show it of course, but Cybele was still adjusting to the new situation between the two parties.]

You'd had me jumpin' through hoops for such trust?

[No, he wouldn't, but she concealed her own adjustments to their alliance through making life difficult for those around her.]

Information I have given you, and ways to be retraining these kid's thoughts about witches so that don't be dying on you.

You must 'ave some trust for me, kid Shinigami, or no care for these you send to learn from me.

[perfectorder]

[he just eyes her for a moment.]

Call it guarded trust, then. Though the same could be said for you.

You have to some trust in us that we'll actually hold up our end of the bargain and not execute you instead.

[recreant_pride]

[Trust? No, she knows that Shibusen is too honourable to kill those who are not directly threatening others.]

Shibusen are fools.

[There's an amused huff from her. It's Cybele's way of trying not to say that what Kid says is right... to a point, but she'll keep deluding herself with her mind's previous reasoning.]

[perfectorder]

Then you're a fool for being with us.

[recreant_pride]

[Cybele grinned and then laughed at Kid's reply. Shaking her head, her tail swished behind her in clear amusement.]

Perhaps be a bigger fool at that.

[perfectorder]

[what's this? is that a...small quirk of the lips? a slight smirk? him having a slight exchange of witty banter with a witch and possibly finding it amusing? naaaah impossible!

...or is it?]

I'm not sure if that's something you want to boast about, Cybele. You're starting to make us sound actually smarter than you.

[recreant_pride]

[Stranger things have happened! Or have they? Cybele's unexpectedly enjoying it herself...]

I wouldn't go that far, boyo.

[perfectorder]

[there must have been something in the water.]

Time and results will be the judge.

[recreant_pride]

[Cybele can agree with that judgement... but yes, she's smirking at that comment. Turning her back on him, her tail whipped from side-to-side]

I suppose they be, but the game be'a changing by that point.


[ooc: they should head out of the city on a bonding time gallivant sometime sooon~]

[perfectorder]

Is that so? And how do you see the "game" changing?

[ooc: oh lord that would be best yes please.]

[recreant_pride]

You do not see? [No, they wouldn't, would they? But that was largely why Shibusen was on the struggling side of this little war so far.]

[Turning back to see him, Cybele leant in to bring their faces close together.] The game has already changed. D'a pieces of either side be switching to another to change d'at balance of power.

You will realise the power you have, and once you do, the game will once more be changed.

[ooc: when would be a good time for you? :D ]

[perfectorder]

[hello personal space, where did you go? it's not like he needed it or anything. except he kind of preferred to not have it suddenly invaded by a witch. but he'll just stare at her, his eyes narrowing a fraction.

switching sides?]

I hope you realize that you would make a lot more sense if you talked less in riddles and said things more directly and precisely.

[but he wasn't going to not try to decipher what she said. in fact he did understand some of it. even so, just get to the point woman.]

[ooc: uuuh... hm...I'm actually going to be somewhat busy through the next week :|a but after that I should be good. unless you don't mind slow tags for a while.]

[recreant_pride]

[Now where would the fun be in that? Giving straight answers pffft. He does make her smirk though.]

You will come to see in time, boyo.

[ooc: I'm on holidays for the next 3'ish weeks, so anytime within then is good for me :D We could plan it towards the end of next week then maybe? That way you won't have to worry too much about things?]

[perfectorder]

[it's really good fun! she should try it. really.

he just looks at her before he averted his gaze for a moment, unable to help muttering:]

We don't have a lot of time.

[he then looks back at her.]

Cybele, if you know something it would be prudent for both of our interests if you told us.

[ooc: that works! actually I need to ask you something, anyway, so I'll just go ahead and shoot that e-mail now...]

[recreant_pride]

[No, you don't have a lot of time. She was well aware of that that, but kept her silence anyway.]

We'll see.

[Glancing away, she kept her laughter within before moving to put some distance between them.]

I want to see these fighters of yours, boyo. See if this be worth protectin'.

[ooc: Oooh that sounds good! I shall await your email o3o ]

[perfectorder]

[there's a slight look of frustration but he just closes his eyes for a moment. last thing he needed was to lose his cool here and in let this witch get to him. but his patience was thinning a little.]

I'm sure you will find it all worth protecting. But you can't take your time on that, either.
