[ Zelos' hand snaps to the side, the impact is loud but it doesn't feel like anything is broken.

He swallows down the taste of iron, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, before wiping any residual red onto his shirt. ]

Nice to see you too.

[Jae-ha hums pleasantly. The impact on his hand stings faintly - but that's a good feeling too. One that he hasn't gotten to enjoy as of late. So he raises a brow at Zelos.

Lightly:]

I think the circumstances could be better.

We could both be alive, for one.

[ listen, you freak.

Zelos, casually (like he didn't just get decked) ]

Things could always be better.

[ he's tired of tasting blood, but there's no helping it.

maybe one day, it won't taste like anything— as natural a presence in his mouth as saliva. ]

Wasn't my choice, what happened to you— but none of that really matters.

[ a shrug ]

I would have picked someone easier to take down.

Of course you wouldn't think that sort of thing matters - so you'll only tell me after me and my partner are long dead. Sanji did the same thing.

[If we're getting into the business part - he sets his hand on his hip and sighs.]

If you wanted to take the two of us out you probably didn't think you'd win if you went for us both at the same time?

Or is there another reason for my special treatment?

[holybind]

Neither of us wanted to deal with you alone.

[ he tries his best to back up that 'none of this matters' with the way he exaggerates his shrugs and keeps his tone slightly amused— but he doesn't meet Jae-ha's gaze. ]

We didn't have much experience with your partner. Killing a stranger is easy.

I heard he stabbed Sanji in the lung.

[look he's just marginally offended at the idea of sousei being an easy kill, even if he also knows that's not how zelos meant!!]

Why - you thought I'd be able to talk you out of it?
