[revengier]

Because you are. That’s not a bad thing, though.

[dyingtohealyou]

Well, good. Especially since it looks like I'll be annoying you the whole time we're here.

[revengier]

You won’t be the only one, that’s for certain.

[dyingtohealyou]

Who else? Should I annoy them back?

[revengier]

Akira, Khun, and Leo.

[ All fellow teens, all people he likes. Go figure. ]

Sure, go ahead and bother them. I think the only one you’d manage that with is Khun.

[dyingtohealyou]

...You think Khun's easier to annoy than the other two?

[Damn.]

[revengier]

I do. [ A smile. ] If you have a death wish.

[ Khun's prone to stabbing and all that, after all. ]

I've made Akira angry before, but that's another thing entirely.

[ And he doesn't think he needs to say anything for Leo. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Yeeeeah, I'm a bad match to Khun.

[Bad physical ability...]

Wait, how'd you piss off Akira?

[revengier]

[ Honestly? Kurapika wouldn't fight Khun either. ]

We simply disagree on a few things. That's all.

[ In other words, the revenge stuff. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

What kinds of things?

[Any subjects he should avoid so he doesn't end up pissed, too?]

[revengier]

My resolve, which I'm sure isn't a surprise.

[ After all, Ahito has seen the intensity of his resolve, at least in parts. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

For revenge?

[revengier]

Yes, my resolve for revenge.

[ What a shock, one of the true protags here doesn't like revenge. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

As in he doesn't think you're up for it, or he doesn't think you should?

[revengier]

"You try to be someone you're not."

[ ... ]

So, a mix of both, I suppose.

[dyingtohealyou]

[Humming in thought. There's a kneejerk feeling - Akira obviously doesn't understand how important it can be, putting a stop to certain people.

But...]

What do you think?

[revengier]

I don’t like killing. It… disrupts my senses, the smell of blood and the sound of bones breaking.

[ Even thinking about it makes him feel ill. ]

He focused on that, and told me that seeking revenge like this isn’t me.

[ And he doesn’t know that Akira is wrong about that, but he can’t bring himself to say it. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

What do you mean, "disrupts your senses," exactly?

[revengier]

I feel dizzy. I feel nauseous. My skin crawls.

[ It puts him in a state he very much dislikes. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

...Almost like your body's rebelling against it.

[revengier]

Would you say that's what it is? I cherish and honor life, of course I would feel that way.

[dyingtohealyou]

...Well, it's not like taking a life is easy to begin with. For people who don't fight in wars or relish in murder, that is.

[revengier]

Mm, you’re right.

[ He sighs. ]

Have you killed?

[ Kurapika can’t even guess whether or not Ahito has, given that he hasn’t been successful in his revenge. Not yet, at least. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

...Not yet. I'm not interested in killing just anyone, and I haven't been able to track them down.

[revengier]

So we're the same in that regard... only I've managed to find some of my targets.

[ He essentially put that part on pause, though. ]

I hope you're satisfied when you manage it.
