[week 19, day 4] confrontation -- accidental audio
[The feed clicks on when Ginko is speaking, catching him mid-sentence.]
--hurting her! Stop!
[Those who have met him will notice that his voice is much different than he normally speaks--loud, sharp, and commanding. There's a sort of distant murmuring, like from three or four people whispering to each other, then a single voice speaks up.]
She's ours, outsider. Bought fairly, at a high price, too.
[Ginko's voice is faintly colored by anger now.]
So you're using that as an excuse to whip her?
[A faint cry of pain.]
And you're still hurting her! Let her go.
[There is amusement in the other man's voice now.]
I notice you are alone, and have no weapons. How are you intending to stop us?
[There's a beat of silence; Ginko is glaring at the men, though the audio feed can't show that. When he speaks again, his voice is calmer than before, controlled.]
I notice you and your friends are bullies, bent on hurting an unarmed woman who can't possibly fight back.
Or maybe you're not bullies, but cowards.
[There is another moment of silence, this one filled with tension. It is suddenly broken by a flurry of sounds--footsteps, a grunt, a crashing clatter--that last for almost a minute. The other man speaks again.]
Hold his arms. Get his--
[The feed cuts.]
[[ooc: There will be no responses to anyone who tries to contact him via the Hitomi. Rock Lee already has dibs on saving him.]]
