[ khun nods before realizing that's a bit pointless right now. ]

He'll want to help and even if there's nothing in his records, it'll be good to keep track of for the future. I doubt you'll be the only one who suffers an injury like this.

[revengier]

[ Kurapika frowns, but not at the thought of Tatara helping him. That he'd help is a given—he's not a bad guy, after all. ]

I doubt it too, but I'd like to prevent as many injuries as this as possible.

[lighthaus]

When you're settled it might be worth doing a bit of a PSA. South did one after they came back, and it sounds like you guys had more of a run in than they did. It'll be useful for whoever goes next.

[ hmm. if things keep getting worse, what'll the next group come back like?

longing gaze at east. ]

[revengier]

[ stares right at east ]

I'll consider it.

[ And he ultimately won't, since Tatara later tells him that he should keep it under wraps for the most part. ]

If anything, it would be beneficial for everyone to know how difficult our opponents were. We were unprepared. [ He sighs. ] So, practice your magic as much as possible.

[lighthaus]

[ kurapika can't see his expression but he can certainly hear it. ]

Isn't that obvious? [ what else is everyone doing with their time, says boy who cannot sit still. ]

[revengier]

[ That... actually makes him laugh. ]

You know very well that not everyone is like us. They don't practice all day and night.

[lighthaus]

Obviously. Which is what I said.

[ the laughter eases up his impending grumpiness though, so he tries to let the irritation pass him. ]

Or they could be training their bodies. It doesn't sound like Kiryu did terribly and I think he's more liking to throw a punch than a spell when it comes down to it.

[ or they could do both like

they're both doing. lol. ]

[revengier]

[ The grumpiness in Khun's voice is more amusing than anything... wow, is this why people egg Kurapika on? Much to think about. ]

He used other objects more than he used his own magic, that's right.

[ They're on the same track, however, because he adds: ]

Ideally, all of us would be combat trained in addition to magic. [ ... ] Though I doubt either of us will take up the mantle of training.

[lighthaus]

[ wow! them and their hats are real though. ]

Someone would have to go through the trouble of building likeability and trust with everyone in order for it to work, at least with this group. That's not my style, and I don't think most people will forget I almost loped off Mikaela's head, even if I felt like faking it for however long that took.

[ that makes him wonder though. ]

...is there anyone here who's universally liked?

[revengier]

Probably. There has to be one or two.

[ But even the people he likes may not be liked by everyone, so it's... difficult to name anyone. ]

[lighthaus]

I can think of a few candidates, but they're not really people-people either, at least in that sense—Kiryu's a good example. Jing Yuan also seems to be reasonably liked, but he likes to wax poetic too much.

[ his standards, always. ]

[revengier]

He waxes poetic? In my experience he mostly yawns.

[ He frowns, eyebrows furrowing. ]

I've taught Yamato one-on-one, and I've taught other classes before. I wouldn't mind if there really are no other options.

[lighthaus]

[ pffft. he doesn't laugh but he's thoroughly amused. ]

You changed your mind quickly. But I think you'd do a good job.

[ A free compliment!!! ]

[revengier]

Someone has to do it.

[ Hmph!! And he just so happens to like a lot of the people here, so... it really wouldn't be an issue. ]

You could stand to sound less amused.

[lighthaus]

No, I think this is just the right amount. Does it help to know I'll cheer you on with my whole heart?

[ not sorry!!! ]

[revengier]

No. Actually, that makes it much worse.

[ Said almost petulantly. ]

[lighthaus]

Because you dislike me that much, or because you don't know what to do with someone else's affection?

[ i suffer that he has no idea what a tsundere is because he would use that here. ]

[revengier]

[ if only........ ]

I don't dislike you, Khun. I consider you a friend.

[ In other words, Khun is right! He doesn't know what to do with someone else's affection. ]

[lighthaus]

I know, I was trying to give you an out. [ he says with a wink. that kurapika can't see but can still probably hear (?)

i'm sorry he's like this. ]

I can't be the only one who's given that to you here.

[revengier]

[ God, what an embarrassing statement. He frowns. ]

No, you're not.

[lighthaus]

Then what are you going to do if someone tries to kiss you? Combust?

[ does khun have any idea about kurakira or is this simply khun running his mouth?

/8ball. ]

[revengier]

[ He assumes Khun is simply being Khun here, so he frowns. ]

No. Do you really think I can't handle myself?

[lighthaus]

Of course not. I'd like to think better of my dear friend.

[ though he wonders if there's anything else to that emphasis. ]

[revengier]

Why do you even care? Think about more important things.

[ Like training people here!!! ]

[lighthaus]

I'm great at multitasking.

And you seem to have the combat training covered, unless you really do want me to cheer you on every day?~

[ speak now or forever hold your piece! ]
