Fighting on a surface one can't afford to break poses serious limitations.

Are you suggesting a rematch? I'm willing if you think you can handle it.

I can handle it, that ain't a problem.

...Actually - no rematch yet, I want something else first. I'll even give you your goddamn shirt back if you help me out with something.

Oh? Help you with what?

I want you to teach me some of that Rokushiki stuff.

Is that so? ...All right. Any particular reason?

No... Just think some of those moves could come in really fucking handy. And it wouldn't hurt to add some new stuff to my repertoire.

That's good. It's a shame Kalifa isn't here; her style is much closer to the one you use. But I'll help. If you give my shirt back. And wash it first. Thoroughly.

...Yeah, I don't think Kalifa-san would be a whole lot of help, actually. As hard as she might try.

Alright, alright, I'll give it back and it'll be like it's good as new! And - thanks.

I'm given to understand that she hates you. Don't take it personally. If you were a woman, she'd probably quite like you.

Of course you will. And you're welcome.

Oh, yeah, well there's that. And also that I'd likely become entirely useless around her.

I'll even get it DRY CLEANED.

That wouldn't help.

You would probably wash it wrong anyway.

...I know how to WASH CLOTHES, asshole, ain't like it's difficult!

What you don't know how to do is take mild, offhand teasing.

...

Sure I do. I dish it out all the time!

But you can't take it. There's a colloquial expression for it and everything.

Sanji-kun.

I just have to wrap my mind around YOU being able to tease anyone.

Lucci-kun.

Then I'm doing it right.

I can no longer be offended by honorifics after what Silvers Rayleigh insists upon calling me.

...What does he call you?

...That's none of your business.

...

Would I be able to find it in one of his posts?

No.

It's not - he calls me Lucci-chan. It isn't as though I take grave offense to it or anything; it's just annoying. Despite being terribly uncreative.

...Oh.

Ha, good thing I went for Lucci-kins that one time instead of that one, then.

I'm adding that to the tally of things I must take revenge against you for.

Aww, Lucci-kins, really? I've got a tally going?

Growing ever higher. Do you really want to incur my wrath? Really?
