1 [video and action for those in newbark]

[causeimaprince]

[The feed clicks on to show Bel walking backwards out of a house.]

Yes mother, I will be careful on my journey.
...

Yes mother, I will eat plenty of food.
...

Yes mother, I have a change of clothes.
...

Alright mother, I am leaving.

[He shuts the door and turns around. Then he notices that his Sentret had the pokegear recording. He smiles at

[sharkfoodbound]

[There's a boy lounging on the frozen ground next to his Larvitar, whose eyes follow Bel as he moves away from the house. What Fran said had made him suspect as much, and now that the Boss had been chatting with him it'd been confirmed.

...he just finds it frustrating he doesn't seem to know fucking anyone. Approach, y/n?]

[action]

[causeimaprince]

[After his conversation with Xanxus, he starts walking down the path but he stop and starts walking towards the white haired boy. He stops in front of him and smiles.]

Squ-sempai, you cut your hair~

[He knows very well that Squalo is from a different time but that doesn't mean he's not going to pick on him.]

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

[Squalo, far from anything resembling a good mood after his conversation with Fran, simply snarls.]

No, I did not. And if you were less of a giggling moron and actually worthy of being Varia, you'd damn well be able to tell I haven't met you yet.

[And what's with the japanese, anyway?]

[action]

[causeimaprince]

[Alright, he's no longer amused.]

I know you're from the past, idiot. I was just playing~

[But he's amused again so have a big grin.]

I'm older than you and the Boss's favorite so you're going to have to listen to me, Squ-kouhai.
Shishishi~

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

And you'll probably be surprised to hear that I don't give a fuck.

[Hadn't he said that before today? Ah well. It needed saying. He cocks his head and sneers.]

But if you've met me at all you know there's only one person I actually listen to. Riiight?

[action]

[causeimaprince]

What if I told you he told me to take charge of you until we got to whatever town he was in?

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

I'd tell you to go fuck yourself, and go with whatever orders I got.

[action]

[causeimaprince]

Oh? Well then~

[And so, Bel comes over and yanks Squalo up by his hair.]

Come on Squ-kouhai~ We have to get to Boss before he throws a fit.

[And he starts dragging him off towards the path.]

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

[At which point Squalo punches Belphegor in the grinning face with his metal left.]

VOOOOOOOOOOOOI WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!

[action]

[causeimaprince]

[Bel is a little stunned when the fist makes contact with his jaw and he stumbles back. But the grin comes back, wider this time.]

You don't want to do that...

[He grabs Squalo by the jacket this time and attempts to drag him off.]

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

[Well, Squalo is already on his feet at this point, and furious. He grabs Bel's wrist and refuses to budge.]

I'm pretty fucking sure I do. And you're gonna let go of me, or the next one's gonna break your goddamn jaw.

[It might be a telltale sign of just how angry that his voice has dropped from yelling to an angry hiss.]

[action]

[causeimaprince]

[He smiles and leans into Squalo, his face just inches away from the 14 year old.]

Then do it~

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

[Oh, and he does. He's got plenty enough strength to break bone after all, wouldn't even need the prosthesis in the equation. But instead of endangering his hand, he quickly lifts a knee, attempting to plant that in the older boy'd gut.]

[action]

[causeimaprince]

[And since they're both so close, the knee makes contact and Bel stumbles backwards and trips over his poor Sentret; landing on his butt and glaring up at Squalo. He gets back up and picks up Pandamink; putting her on his shoulder. Then he socks Squalo in the jaw.]

[action]

[sharkfoodbound]

[Well that was transparent. Could've seen that coming from a mile away, but Squalo still takes the punch to see how strong this kid is. It earns him a split lip, and he takes a step back. Spits out the blood in his mouth, and grins at Belphegor.]

Mind the tiara.

[action]

[causeimaprince]

It's a ringlet, moron.

[And that earns Squalo a high kick to the gut. But he could dodge easily. After all, Bel's just fighting because he's pissed off. It's not like he's really paying attention to how he's fighting.]
