[Oh boy it's time for them to talk!]

[voidbreaker]

[ “talk” is optimistic. ash is just gonna walk right over and aim a solid right hook at chuuya’s face!!

hi!! lovely to chat like this, huh? ]

[shortforever]

[Honestly he's been expecting chats like this. He takes the hit, stumbling back before he regains his balance.

He won't even ask 'why' because he knows why. He just glares at Ash as he wipes at his face.]

That hit ain't free, you know.

[voidbreaker]

Nah, you’re giving me that one for fucking putting Isaac on your potential hitlist, you asshole.

[ but hey, he’s not going in for another punch. just staring at him very flatly. ]

At what point did you think taking on murder duties for a guy’s hysterical episode was a good idea? [ ... as accusatory as it might sound, there is the intent of just wanting to hear the full story in there. ]

[shortforever]

[He might not be going for another punch, but Chuuya is going to react anyway. He shoves his hands into his pockets, and then he aims a kick right for Ash's chest.]

It wasn't just about him, you ass. I talked to at least five people who were distressed over that shit, and that's only of the people I talk to a lot.

And you know what? Even if it was just him, I still would've done it.

[voidbreaker]

[ Ash shifts himself out of the way, and makes a grab for the flying foot. Excuse me. ]

Real noble of you, after all the general discussion about not killing people like it's going out of style. Great job.

[shortforever]

[Whoops he is grabbed. He has enough balance to stay upright, but what is Ash going to do with his foot?]

You don't have to lay it on thick, there's nothing noble about what I did. Now let go of me.

[voidbreaker]

I'm being sarcastic, you ass.

[ he shoves the footsie. be gone. ]

[shortforever]

[That's what he meant!!1 But he's not saying that, and instead just moves to stand on both feet.]

You done acting superior now?

[voidbreaker]

I'm not acting superior. I got my punch in, and that's the point I was making.

Maybe talk shit out next time you feel like stabbing someone like fifty times in the back and I won't need to do it again.

[shortforever]

Okay, first off, it was that many knives to kill her instantly.

[Even if he has to kill he'd rather it be instantaneous, alright? Murder is ok, torture is not.]

Secondly, yes you are acting superior. So knock it off.

[voidbreaker]

Your idea of superior is interesting.

[ SHRUG. ]

[shortforever]

You're only attacking me because someone you care about could have been involved. You wouldn't even be talking to me otherwise. So don't act like this is about anything else than you taking it personally.

[voidbreaker]

'Course I'm gonna take you putting a 13 year old kid on your hitlist seriously. [ Geez. ]

We've just learned we've got a loss limit too. Don't jump to murder as the first solution and maybe we'll avoid it.

[shortforever]

Kid's gotta grow up eventually. I was even younger than that the first time I got in a serious fight. And it wasn't a 'hit list', I didn't dislike any of them that much.

[Except Hunter. But Hunter is complicated.]

[voidbreaker]

I get the feeling he's got enough shit going down of his own. 'Sides, not everyone has to hustle to grow up fast because the world's shitting on them constantly.

[ Wow. There's some real Hunter Hate there, huh? ]

[shortforever]

[Speaking as someone who had to grow up fast because the world was shitting on him constantly:]

Well good for them if they don't have to.

[voidbreaker]

[ replying as someone who also grew up too fast because the world shat on him constantly: ]

No point in being bitter at people who got the luck of the draw. You're still around, aren'tcha?

[shortforever]

So far, yeah. Being alive doesn't help with the bitterness though.

[He's got to learn to accept his emotions and grow as a person- ahahaha yeah no that will never happen.]

[voidbreaker]

Sure. If you wanna stay bitter your whole life.

[shortforever]

[Ah. There's something he didn't consider.

He actually opens his mouth to respond right away, but pauses, and closes his mouth. And actually considers Ash's words.

Then, after a few moments, he speaks.]

It's not like I want to.

[voidbreaker]

[ huh. wow, he's thinking about it. ]

Who does?

It's not like letting shit go is easy. [ Sometimes it's not even on the individual to decide when they can let go, or not. ] But being bitter and not doing anything about it seems kind of a waste of time.
