I need to be trained in close combat.

I prefer sharp weapons over blunt.

I'm available at any time.

[Ah yes, how can he forget what bothered Gojyo the most.]

Ah, and now you've got me wanting. Are you going to simply up and leave? Shameful.

[erogappa]

You better be an adult, saying things like that. If you're not, I'm going to punch you twice.

[deniles]

[It's not like he's trying to hide now.]

Minimal to none.

[deniles]

What if being punched turns me on? What'll you do then?

[erogappa]

Does it?

[deniles]

It does. As does being stepped on.

[How far can he take this, he wonders...]

[erogappa]

That's rough, buddy.

[deniles]

Whatever it takes.

[He knows when to get serious, so he doesn't even give Izumo a flirty eye or hits on him. It's work time.]

[deniles]

And that's the only way to do it.

[erogappa]

If you say so.

[deniles]

What? That's all? And here I thought you'd be fun.

[SMS]

[deniles]

I have the growing urge to punch someone.

[koukai_kirai]

[He makes a little hmm sound, perhaps a bit displeased, and reaches offscreen to grab a lighter and a tin of cigarettes.]

How dedicated are you to learning?

[deniles]

I'd do anything to be a better fighter.

[He's determined, the look in his eye says so.]

[koukai_kirai]

[Hijikata is quiet as he lights his cigarette and takes a slow drag from it, but his eyes don't stop searching Niles' expression, even when he does speak again.]

[He's seen that look before. Even if he doesn't know the man, he knows the feeling he's telegraphing as intimately as he's ever known any friend.]

What do you want to do, when you're stronger?

[The answer matters. He won't teach what he knows to just anyone for just any reason.]

[deniles]

I want to protect my god, my lord, my best friend with more than just my bow and arrows.

[He says without a hint of hesitation.]

He deserves better than a man who can only hide in the trees and fire arrows.

[He'll train under anyone to be better at this point. And if he has to beg, he would.]

[koukai_kirai]

[It's very small, but a smile tugs at the corners of Hijikata's lips, his mind going to the memory of Kondou -- his best friend, his commander, as much a brother to him as the brothers who raised him as a child.]

[A man he'd have traded his own life for without any hesitation. A man whose memory was enough to die for without regret.]

I see.

Come to my shrine some time, if that's the case, and I'll give you a chance. There's a training hall behind the living quarters.

text;

[deniles]

I'll be there. Be prepared, I don't want you to go easy on me.

[vindicavi]

Want and will are two entirely different things.

And you must not be training very hard if you have time to provoke others.

[toremainbehind]

[Niles will probably learn quickly as to what kind of instructor Izumo could be.

While he can be patient and showing the other man some pointers and adjusting his stances once in a while, Izumo isn't one to particularly go easy on him either.

It might take a few hours - give or take - but eventually, there's a call for a break.

Izumo eases up on Niles, allowing him some time to breathe since they have been at it for a while already.]

[reformedsinner]

I certainly hope it's no one I know.

[And here he just told you he'd be forced to take it personally....]

[SMS]

[deniles]

Of course not.

[Only if it endangers him.]

[SMS] > action?

[reformedsinner]

[To be fair, picking a stupid fight and breaking Gojyo's nose falls under the heading of 'reasonable.'

Hakkai's just not sure he wants to trust Niles not to say anything regrettable in the process.]

Good!

I'll see you soon, one way or the other.

Well.... what if you just used your borderline in the dagger form then?
