Heh, is this where I tell you that I'm a pretty good actor, too?
[ Which is actually true! Yamato is a scary good actor. He takes after his father (unfortunately) in that regard. ]
In all seriousness... [ You've had too many people diminish your worth. ] You can probably guess how I'd feel if that happened to you. I don't need to explain it.
[That gets a snicker from him, there's no doubt in his mind that Yamato's words are true. But he moves on and Malice grins at that, leaning forward and resting his elbow on the table, then his chin on his hand.]
Oh? I don't think I've got a good enough guess, actually. Seems like you're gonna have'ta explain it!
[give him the praise he so rightfully deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Nah, Malice understands that sometimes people just have a hard time expressing stuff like this, so he'll let it go. He still does look incredibly pleased, though. This is high praise!!]
I'll take it! I'm glad to hear you're so fond of me!
Sure thing! You're a great friend - you keep puttin' up with all my dumb antics an' dealin' with me bein' aggressively myself. An' you're a fun person to spend time with - both 'cause you react like this an' 'cause you're entertainin'!
[didn't he just decide not to bully yamato.......... oh well, too late.]

'Course I can. 'Sides, I don't think Solo'd push on it too hard; he's bright enough to see that nearly killin' me over food'd be pointless.
[That's mostly a joke. He would not die, probably. I mean maybe, it is Solomon's cooking so are we really sure about that??]
no subject
[ He means that. Don't fuck with his buddy, Solomon! (What's Yamato going to do about it? Who knows. Not even he knows, to be fair) ]
It'd be very inconvenient to lose someone.
[ That's one way to put it. Listen...he might just be a little tsundere sometimes... ]
no subject
[this is the part where you praise him, right!!]
no subject
[ ....
.........
After a brief moment of silence, Yamato cracks a smile, but he will not elaborate. ]
Just kidding.
no subject
Jerk. You almost had me goin' there for a moment.
[If we weren't across the table from each other, you'd get an elbow in your ribs!!! But thankfully your ribs will be spared today.]

Given that I just spilled my history to you, I think that's a sign that I've...
[ .... ]
...grown at least a little fond, you know.
no subject

[oh my god.]
no subject
So, what? I don't get anything in return?
[ Please don't, he'll die again. Which means please do. ]
no subject
[didn't he just decide not to bully yamato.......... oh well, too late.]
no subject
He is so embarrassed, but he'll at least meet Malice's efforts with a smile. ]
Entertaining's what I do for a living, so I'm glad there's at least that.
[ He lifts a hand to rub the back of his head. ]
...Thanks.
no subject
'Course! I like spendin' time with you, so be sure to free up your busy schedule for me sometimes!
no subject
[ Stares at Kurapika???? At least Urianger is a nice teacher, though. ]
no subject
Why're you gettin' your ass kicked? Who's doin' the ass-kickin'?
no subject
[ And also, Akira crushed his feet at some point, but details. ]
Urianger's teaching me some magic things, too, but he's a gentle teacher.
no subject
[rip your feet which somehow did not get mangled by malice?? the dice really hate akira, huh.]
I'd offer to help out but uh... I've never taught anyone before, an' I don't really know how to hold back, so.
[He is very bad at sparring and even worse at trying it with humans.]
no subject
[ That's just who Mr. Hall Monitor is. Thanks, Malice, for sparing his feet.... ]
Don't worry about helping me. I think I like not having my bones broken.
[ HE HAS NO DOUBT THAT MALICE COULD CRUSH HIM. ]
no subject
[just get hurt sparring then heal yourself, clearly this is the best way to train—]
Hah! Don't worry, I don't plan on breakin' any of your bones. Good luck with your trainin', though!
no subject
[ He thinks he would break even more easily if he kept healing himself on repeat....
But since they're on this subject, he looks around, leans forward and says quietly: ]
I think we should head back.
no subject
[Hopefully we haven't attracted too many stares just chatting about normal wizard things like beating someone up in order to practice healing...]
Ready whenever you are!
no subject
But, yeah, time to head back! And as they're doing that, Yamato looks over at Malice – ]
I have something to ask you, actually. Better to do it back at the manor.
no subject
[It shouldn't take that long for us to arrive back to the manor, and once we've gotten back...]
So? What is it?
no subject
[ Just wondering. Asking for a friend. ]
