You're a good guy. Sounds like you've got your head on straight.

[stillsea]

[ wow okay he laughs, flustered. ]

You should tell that to this guy I knew back home. He was always just calling me a brute, haha...

[fjorge]

You?

[ Their sweet flustered boy, a brute... ]

Now I'm curious.

[stillsea]

Hah, yeah. Swallowtail said stuff like that all the time, just because I might not be as smart as he is. But that guy's a total monster in a fight, so if anyone's a brute, it has to be him.

[fjorge]

Is that a friend of yours or something?

[ You should call him a nerd back. ]

[stillsea]

[ easily caught off guard by this question. ]

Er... I thought we were, but... I'm not sure anymore.

[fjorge]

Because of the thing with the Abyss, or something else?

[stillsea]

No, no, he had nothing to do with that. He just... He hates demons, and now he knows that I'm a demon, so...

[fjorge]

Oh. [ Slight pause. ] Sorry to hear that. You knew he did before he found out?

[stillsea]

Most humans hate my kind, so yeah, I could assume so. He did confirm it, once, and he has a good reason for it... but I don't know where that'll leave us if I see him again.

[fjorge]

It probably doesn't help really, but still -- that must be difficult.

I hope, at least, it sounded like -- him calling you a brute wasn't related to that.

[stillsea]

Ha, no. That was before he knew. He's done that pretty much since the moment we met.

[fjorge]

Must be pretty clumsy then.

[ It's subtle, but he's glad it's not because of what you are. ]

[stillsea]

I'm not! I just have a different fighting style than he does, that's all!

[ no he's just a dumbass with a big sword ]

[fjorge]

I did notice your sword was pretty big. You just swing that thing around?

[ I don't know if this is Yen's fault but truly trying to avoid making it sound like any kind of innuendo and I'm not sure if it's working ]

[stillsea]

[ you can make the innuendo he's already heard it in canon ]

Of course. What else would I do with it?

[fjorge]

Dunno, maybe something about weavin' it with your water qi. Choi does some magic bullshit with his cleaver and Rondo's workin' on something similar.

[stillsea]

Oh. Yeah, I can do that, but it's not always necessary.

[fjorge]

Guess you aren't the super flashy type then.

[ Well we could tell. Though it'd admittedly be funny if Leng Feng secretly committed to flair in his downtime. ]

[stillsea]

Not as much as some people, no. I only use it when there's a reason for it.

[ but he IS kind of flashy about it when he does lbr ]
