[Neji turns, blinking, and nods in greeting]

No, I'm not. [His smile is slight] My fighting style is very specific, and isn't suited as practice for combat with Kishin Eggs or Witches without Soul Menace. However, it's useful for non-lethal incapacitation, so I'm simply here as a safety measure to prevent accidents and to intervene should a conflict get out of hand.

[He gestures over where Hanabi is instructing young beginners] Hanabi-san is more than suited to instruct basic tai-.. hand-to-hand combat to those that need a solid base to work from, however. If anyone should wish to learn from me, I'll take them individually, as I don't have much time for many full-time students.

[de_faulty_hero]

[Ah, he has to look out for Neji fighting a little more. He's still more partial for a sword himself, but he knows how to smack heads together like the best of them.]

Ah, I hear Soul Menace is a good trick, never used it. A few extra bruises on people taking themselves too seriously should warrant us standing back and watching. [Though... Neji didn't seem the sort.]

[He followed the gesture to the one with similar eyes to Neji. He watched the instruction with interest.] Even in this war, it's amazing how many need solid work to fight at all. I don't see you on too many missions....

[heavenly_earth]

[He shrugged, fine with bruises and broken teeth, but limbs were a bit much. But he winces fractionally as Cloud mentions his lack of real presence on the field]

It's unfortunate... But now that Lee and I have reconciled our differences and are official partners, we should be far more active in the future. [And time for a mild shift in topic] In contrast however, your Weapon is close to achieving status as Deathscythe. I suppose it's somewhat premature, but congratulations.

[de_faulty_hero]

[He notes the wince, and he wonders if he's said something touchy. To be fair, he does know everyone who goes on missions, given how often he's there too.]

I see... so you have an official partner now. Congratulation on that... they aren't easy to find it seems. [He folds his hands behind his head.] Besides, if a partner isn't work, it isn't worth doing. Settling differences makes the bond stronger.

[He can't help but smirk a little. It is getting close after all.] Yeah, he's a pain, but he gets the job done. Nah, I don't think it's premature; we're pretty amazing after all. Far ahead of anyone else sor far.

[heavenly_earth]

Thank you. [He still misses Lain, but he feels fortunate that Lee is in the city as well even with their crop of unexpected issues that arose, or he really might have had to worry about finding another Weapon.

Cloud's lack of modesty is unexpected however, and Neji lifts his eyebrows in mild surprise. All the same, it's fair enough to admit they are impressive together, and their lead over other pairs substantial]

It'll be nice to have a Deathscythe among the guests... Do you believe you'll be able to fare well against Witches soon enough?

[de_faulty_hero]

[He's never lost a partner while he is here, but he has lost more than his share of good friends and comrades. He suspects he wouldn't look too fast for a partner either.

He shrugs, certain that others will eventually catch up.] We already fare pretty well against them, but it will be interesting to combat one with the intent for their soul. So far, it's mostly been to drive them off.

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji nods in simple acquiescence of the information, though where Witch hunting held little to no appeal with his almost entirely defensive Weapon before, with Lee with him on the front lines now, and the long list of atrocities the Witches have committed against both himself and those he cared for, he feels considerably different]

Lee and I will support you, should you need it at any point.

[de_faulty_hero]

[He pauses to regard Neji for a long moment, suppressing his surprise over finding such support from people he doesn't know that well. Perhaps the old warrior honour system is still in place in some parts?]

I appreciate it. The same will go for you and Lee. If you need our help, we will come.

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji inclines his head in a partial bow]

Thank you. In the meantime however, I'm due to give a lecture with Tenten. I look forward to working with you.

[de_faulty_hero]

[He inclines his head a little in acknowledgement before heading off to push some fighting pairs around again.]
