[Hi, yeah, what up, Jae-ha. Sousei quirks an eyebrow at that, arms crossed, and:]

Oh, yes? To who?

[He takes this pretty well, honestly.]

[alttitude]

I think Hikage is under the impression that I'm going to tell the world about him and his problems. In truth, he does have quite a number of problems. He has a running list of lies, like I assume many people here do - but since he showed that to me, I'm probably a liability to him and his peace of mind.

[so

that's bad.]

[disilluded]

[Hm... Hikage.....]

What do you think your chances are in a fight with him where you are undoubtedly taken off-guard in some manner?

[alttitude]

Excellent.

[have some shame, fool]

So long as the windows don't decide to bounce me in, I don't think anyone here can really keep up with my leg anymore.

[disilluded]

Yes, I believe that is true.

[A simple nod, and:]

That is fine, then.

[They're both pretty big targets to take down, honestly... they're so arrogant, but also, there's some truth to it.]

I will keep it in mind, but I find it hard to believe he would choose to go after you.

[alttitude]

I do too. He's been striking me as more bark than bite, really, and I think he recognizes that he'd upset people and lose their trust if they found out he'd tried to kill me.

[shrugs!!]

But it seemed worth putting on your radar. It's not common for me to make enemies - but I suppose beauty does occasionally invite one-sided spite.

[disilluded]

[... oh my god. Sousei snorts softly, shaking his head.]

Rather, it is your terrible attitude that makes enemies for you. It has nothing to do with your beauty of lack thereof.

[THANKS, SOUSEI]

[alttitude]

What a funny way of saying that my tendency to do as I please naturally draws the occasional ire from others...

[rude shit]

[disilluded]

Nonetheless, it is true.

[He's rolling with this!]

You have a rather irritating way about you sometimes.

[alttitude]

I've heard that before.

But sometimes the truth isn't always soothing to the ears... ♥

[and he loves telling those truths,,]

[disilluded]

[...]

You have a rather terrible ego as well, don't you?

[He doesn't exactly... Dislike it, though.]

[alttitude]

... I don't know how to feel, hearing that coming from you of all people.

[disilluded]

I am certainly not claiming that I am not confident in my own right.

[HE KNOWS HE'S ARROGANT.]

Simply that I can recognize it in you as well.

[alttitude]

I simply follow my standards of beauty in everything that I do - and as long as I follow those, for what reason could I be wrong?

[they're

so damn arrogant]

[disilluded]

[They are so stupidly arrogant and I hate them.]

Well.

It is a better look on you than a number of other expressions, so it's fine.

[He's never minded arrogance when it can be backed up.]

[alttitude]

.... do you think about me that often? ♥

[you ever just

make a lot of mistakes in your life]

[disilluded]

[Often, but also:]

No, I'm just very aware of how stupid you can look in other instances.

[alttitude]

Ah, it cuts so deep... ♥

[disilluded]

[SIGH.]

You are as incorrigible as ever.

Regardless, do you have anything else to report?

[alttitude]

Nothing of note. Akechi might not be very fond of me, but Eichi is, and I imagine that's enough to keep me out of trouble with him.

[disilluded]

[Sousei snorts.]

Akechi is not brave enough to kill anyone who could easily fight back.

[Oh.]

He backed down very quickly when I pressed him to hold to his words. [aka sousei dared him to come at him, but he did not.]

[alttitude]

He threatened you?

[ . . . ]

I can never tell if he has too much sense, or none of it.

[disilluded]

He claimed it was a warning, but it was clear enough that it could be taken as a threat.

[Yep.]

He is a mess, and I believe he will continue killing if not held in check.

[alttitude]

Maybe Eichi can reform him with the power of love and friendship.

[this isn't a gagtag]

[disilluded]

That boy? Doubtful.

[ICE COLD.]

Akechi requires more than just someone caring for him to reform his heart. He must take a hard look at himself, stop lying to himself, and accept the wrongs he has done.
