Squalo. Give me a little credit here. If I let Kyouya walk all over me he would never allow me to tutor him. You know how Yamamoto works, I know how Kyouya works.
He could hold his own against yours. The same way I could with you. :)
If you think I'm out of shape just because of this you're in for a rude awakening
[ he's totally out of shape. ]
[ granted, his "out of shape" is still shapelier than gruesomely trained normal people, but he's definitely a step or few down his usual spot on the Varia Quality ladder at the moment. that reaction time especially tends to slow when you drink and don't practice for two months. ]

[ He's not sure what to do with this. Also: groan. ]
Obviously.
[ speaking of which... ]
Why doesn't Xanxus?
[ aaaaaand the boulder is rolling down the hill. ]
He found some trash hoe didn't he
no subject
He doesn’t though. ]
Xanxus is a stubborn idiot.
Maybe. Who knows. He’s have to meet someone for that to happen, though and I haven’t seen him around.
no subject
I'm done. He can fucking apologize to me or he can starve in that freezing hellhole he chose to abandon me for.
[ yeah he definitely doesn't mean that, but these feelings are very hurt. ]
no subject
[ then again he hasn’t been out much either. Every time he connects with someone they end up shipped home or something... ]
Have you been spending time with Yamamoto?
no subject
[ Or, y'know, been locked up in Hell jail for trying, but Squalo never claimed to be unbiased despite literal evidence to the contrary. ]
[ There's a pause before the next reply. ]
Yes
no subject
[ he softens a little. ]
I’m glad. Stop chasing your man and train your student.
no subject
[ grr ]
Like hell. I can always get another student.
[ parent/mentor of the year, truly ]
no subject
[ wow... how dare. Yams is special. ]
Oh no you don’t. Yamamoto is not replaceable. You COULD have been stuck with someone that wanted you dead every time they saw you.
no subject
[ yeah right nevermind ]
Sure. They wouldn't have lived long though
[ assassin life is very simple: you kill those that want you dead, or you die. no exceptions. ]
no subject
I’m not going to compare students but admit Yamamoto is not replaceable. Do it.
Also Hibari could hold his own, thank you.
[ is he distracting you yet? ]
no subject
[ distraction successful. ]
Don't be ridiculous, just because
plot devicesyou let him walk all over you doesn't make him goodno subject

Then prove it. Right now.
I'll be outside.
no subject
Are you serious?
[ is this where Dino dies? Provoking a stressed out shark? Probably. ]
no subject
[ jk he probably wouldn't deathify him. probably. ]
I don't joke about duels.
no subject
I know you don’t. Which is why I’ve never offered before.
But I think you need it.
The exercise I mean.
