I think you're angry. And I'd like to help you too.

[ A pause. ]

And you'd probably like to hit me.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

[ Well none of this expected. Hm. ]

I'm not generally given to physical violence myself, or outbursts of anger.

[lone_horse]

You usually haven't died.

And that isn't a 'no'.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm still not clear on exactly how you're suggesting you can be of any actual aid to me.

[lone_horse]

[ A soft sound of amusement. Don't like to answer certain things, do you? And very good at diverting. ]

Do you know how to fight?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Metaphorically? I've always thought of myself as rather a tenacious person. But I doubt that's the kind of fighting you mean.

No, Mr. Kiryu. I do not know how to fight.

[lone_horse]

Would you like to learn?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Not particularly.

[lone_horse]

All right.

I just thought I'd offer.

[ A brief pause. ]

Do you think this is just me trying to hit you?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I believe if you wanted to hit me you would do so, Mr. Kiryu. You don't seem the type of man to leave the things you wish to say or do unsaid or undone.

[lone_horse]

You're right. But we haven't spoken much, so I couldn't be sure.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

And I greatly respect your willingness to approach me directly with your offer. But physical violence truly has never been something which draws my interest.

[ he's absolutely still going to get you for stopping tim, though. ]

[lone_horse]

There's a difference between a fight and violence.
