[Albel is leaning against a tree, just a little way outside the village. he has his eyes closed.

approach?]

[Look who's back to bother Albel! He's back, and he's waving!]

[testingmyaim]

[he hears Dante's footsteps and frowns, opening his eyes to glare at the approaching man.]

What do you want?

[badass_in_red]

[A shrug.] You looked lonely.

[testingmyaim]

I am not.

[badass_in_red]

You so sure about that?

[testingmyaim]

Yes. [now he casts his eyes towards the village instead of the other, again hoping the red-clad nuisance will leave him be if ignored.]

[badass_in_red]

[He's not leaving, in fact, he's going to lean against another tree.]

[testingmyaim]

[you should know Albel can defeat you in contests of silence, Dante. in fact, almost anyone can, I think.

either way, he's just going to continue ignoring the other.]

[badass_in_red]

[Of course, that's a well-known fact, actually.

And I'll be damned if he even lasts this long.] You don't talk all that much, do you?

[testingmyaim]

[the swordsman won't grace the question with an answer, when the answer is so painfully obvious.

he does, however, sigh quietly and think about slicing the man into ribbons with the sword he now has with himself.]

[badass_in_red]

Man, I think I had more fun talkin' to my toliet after that one party.

[Be my guest, Dante's liable to taking a shot like that. Hell, go ahead and take the sword he picked up earlier and stab him with it, even.]

[testingmyaim]

['k, since you asked so nicely. surprise stab through the heart it is, though honestly he's expecting you to be smart and dodge it.

do feel free to surprise/annoy him even further by letting him hit the target --> still not dying.]

[badass_in_red]

[Oh my, it hits. Dante's going limp.]

[testingmyaim]

[this gets a raise of eyebrows. Albel had been sure the other could have dodged. he pulls the sword back, flicking the blood (and everything else that stuck) off.

then he backs off a few steps, glancing at the body suspiciously, before he shrugs and turns to walk off.]

...Oh well.

[badass_in_red]

That kinda hurt! You got a nice blade there. [Why is a corpse sitting up and clapping?]

[testingmyaim]

[he suspected something like that - this place was full of freaks, after all. still, it's...surprising to see someone he 'killed' get back up in no time.

he stops walking and turns to look back at the man. whatever he was supposed to be. have a frown.]

...How irritating.
