[ you can’t see it but he deadpanned at his phone and may or may not have debated throwing it out the gate.

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.

[sharktrash]

You've seen him, right? I'm not just imagining that he's here?

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. ]

[cavallorampante]

He’s here. He’s just not...out.


[ 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?

[sharktrash]

I can't believe how old he's acting. My Xanxus would have been sitting on Lucifer's throne by now.

[ 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

[cavallorampante]

Age does things to a man...


[ he softens a little. ]

I’m glad. Stop chasing your man and train your student.

[sharktrash]

Why the fuck is he taking it out on me?

[ grr ]

Like hell. I can always get another student.

[ parent/mentor of the year, truly ]

[cavallorampante]

Pride, probably. Maybe he’s more sensitive than he wants anyone to know.

[ 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.

[sharktrash]

Fuck that. I'm gonna sensitive his ass with the biggest frying pan I can find and

[ 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. ]

[cavallorampante]

Cast iron. 5 inch deep. Those are pretty heavy.




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? ]

[sharktrash]

How helpful

[ distraction successful. ]

Don't be ridiculous, just because plot devices you let him walk all over you doesn't make him good

[cavallorampante]

You’re welcome



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. :)

[sharktrash]

[ he's not wrong, but Squalo has been high-strung for weeks and this is where he finally snaps. ]

Then prove it. Right now.

I'll be outside.

[cavallorampante]

Don’t tease me.

Are you serious?

[ is this where Dino dies? Provoking a stressed out shark? Probably. ]

[sharktrash]

[ yes. or he could kill him instead :^) ]

[ jk he probably wouldn't deathify him. probably. ]

I don't joke about duels.

[cavallorampante]

[ ...death does seem tempting. ]

I know you don’t. Which is why I’ve never offered before.

But I think you need it.

The exercise I mean.

[sharktrash]

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. ]
