[ The comm turns on to show Reilly getting mauled by nine year-olds (in Danny's dojo). They're doing it out of fun, smiling and laughing and calling Reilly's name like he's some big, awesome older brother. They're also clinging to his legs and arms, and one is hanging off his back. From behind the comm, Danny's trying to stifle his laughter, giving

[Just laughs for a minute.]

I like this dojo.

[bedeviledspider]

[ Scoffing. Loudly. ]

Yeah, it's great.

[spadassin]

[You can hear the smile in her voice.]

The kids like you.

[bedeviledspider]

You think? I'm pretty sure they were ganging up on me, that's the opposite of like.

[spadassin]

They wouldn't smile and laugh so genuinely about it if they didn't like you.

[bedeviledspider]

That's because they're kids. You know, terrible judges of character? I'm not really the big brother type. At all.

[spadassin]

Children are rather astute at times.

Anyway, if you weren't a "big brother type," I'd guess that you wouldn't even be there.

[bedeviledspider]

It gives me something to do, that's all.

Besides, I like to fight.

[spadassin]

I'm sure.

[bedeviledspider]

Uh-huh. Whatever.

[iron_fister]

[Whispering:] So does Reilly, he's just "got a reputation".

[spadassin]

[Whispers back.]

Ah, I see. I should hope that not everyone with a "reputation" gets such a treatment, though.

[iron_fister]

Normally they do it to me, but I'm giving myself a few more days to recover. So I sacrificed my assistant to them.

[spadassin]

Sounds fair enough.

So. Where is this dojo that I see?

[iron_fister]

[Insert address here!]. You're welcome to stop by and check it out.

[spadassin]

I think I will. Do you allow guest teachers?
