A little outside Girls 11...

[4_part_dishrmny]

*There is currently a Sound-nin sitting back against a tree facing her cabin of residence, trying this 'brooding' thing, in the aftermath of a certain fight. Feel free to poke her, or just quirk an eyebrow at how she's also passing the time by feeding the sentient assbow nailed above the cabin door, by chucking random junk and debris at it from her

::trying out the quirking an eyebrow at the way the girlfriend is passing the time::

...That's going to be one very well-fed assbow the way you're going.

[4_part_dishrmny]

*chucks a pinecone at it*

Eh, 's something to do.

[parasol_hero]

::sitting down beside her, watching that pinecone disappear into the assbow's gaping maw::

And I'm sure it appreciates it.

...You know, I can almost see the gears turning in your head with all the thinking you've been doing lately.

[4_part_dishrmny]

Can call it an experiment in seeing the limit of the fuckin' thing's diet.

... uh-huh.

[parasol_hero]

I'll do that.

...And how's all that going?

[4_part_dishrmny]

*shrugs*

's going.

[parasol_hero]

::sighs and slips an arm round her shoulders::

...If I may...I've been giving the matter some thought myself.

[4_part_dishrmny]

And?

[parasol_hero]

And something did occur to me.

...Before I tell you, I'm not being biased, and the last thing I'm trying to do here is patronise you, alright?

[4_part_dishrmny]

... okay.

[parasol_hero]

Now, I know you've been training daily since you got here, and trying out new maneuvers with the Doki and different genjutsu techniques, but that's still not comparable to three solid years of training.

If all those three years were able to give her was the ability to hold out against you long enough to end in a draw, well, there's no way she could have managed back when you fought the first time.

[4_part_dishrmny]

... yeah, figured as much.

[parasol_hero]

...I know it doesn't really feel appropriate calling it a victory, and all, but I have to say, you certainly demonstrated a degree of skill anyone with half a brain should've sat up and taken notice of.

I can't see her admitting it, but I can't see her taking you lightly as far as opponents go, either, after all that.

[4_part_dishrmny]

... uh-huh.

[parasol_hero]

Sometimes when you're dealing with an enemy like that, recognition is worth more than kicking their butt to the moon and back, so is preventing them from doing what they were setting out to do.

...I'm sorry if I'm just reiterating stuff you already know.

*sighs and rests her head against Rosalyn's shoulder*

Kinda helps to hear it anyway.
