SOB.

[thunderkind]

[There is a defeated-looking Manjoume slumped in the hallway.

He is rather notably missing his North School jacket.]

I can't believe I lost to a girl.

Comments

[eglantiernoir]

[And from somewhere, a deep female voice grumbles.]

...What of it?

[thunderkind]

[OH GOD ANGRY DISEMBODIED FEMALE VOICE]

...I didn't mean it like that! I mean! I like it when Tenjoin-kun beats me!

I mean...

...But this girl was crazy!

[eglantiernoir]

[THAT'S RIGHT LITTLE MAN. FEMALE FURY IS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. And she totally sees through his bull.]

You mean, you like it when a girl you like beats you.

[thunderkind]

...well, yeah...

[He shrinks. Just a little bit. GOD WHERE IS IT COMING FROM]

Well!

She didn't have to steal my coat!

[Ironically the chick in question is probably a far bigger misogynist than him.]

[eglantiernoir]

[Yeah. probably.

By the way, hello giant flower in the corner.]

Your coat?

[thunderkind]

[...A FLOWER.

He glares at it.]

Yes!

She beat me in a duel and then kicked me in the back and yanked my coat off!

[eglantiernoir]

[Yes. And a head has just sloooowly unfurled itself from the mass plumage and is now staring at you.]

...Then why aren't you getting your coat.

[thunderkind]

Because--

[He glowers at the girl over in the cafe.

She's short but she's kind of scary.]

...she's got knives.

[He looks back over his shoulder and WHAT THE OH GODD he bites back an unmanly shriek.]

[eglantiernoir]

[And now Black Rose Dragon is looking at Jun like he's a total bitch. Because he totally is in her humble and not at all biased opinion.]

[thunderkind]

[...yeah he totally is.]

Well, what am I supposed to do?! I tried challenging to her to a rematch and she did a crazy villain laugh!

[Right now Thistle's just sitting there, innocently drinking tea. What.]

[eglantiernoir]

Really, must I show you how to do things?

1/2

[thunderkind]

...no! I can do it perfectly fine on my own, I don't need advice from a stinkin' flower!

[Well now that he's been put in the spot, he storms over to Thistle's table.]

No one gets away with humiliating MANJOUME SANDAA!

[FURIOUS POINT]

GIVE ME BACK MY JACKET!

[anangryinch]

[sip.]

Is that so.

[She removes one of her shiny new knives from her pocket.

Stabs into the middle of the table and uses her best scary voice.]

Come take it from me, boy.

[eglantiernoir]

[And she watches.]

[thunderkind]

[He pales somehow at the knife, but he gathers every iota of courage and considerable ego he has.]

I earned that coat by taking on 50 guys in a row! You only beat me because -- because -- because Destiny Board is cheap and only losers use it!
