[ me writing this tag and being like "i miss wolfwood. wolfwood wasn't as cheerfully unhinged as sabo is." which goes to say that sabo will laugh at blade's response, particularly when he confesses to having tried to kill ish multiple times. this explains a few things (but what does it really mean when ish compares the two of them to one another??).

sabo continues to smile as he breezes right past blade's...blade...ness. ]

I'll think you'll be plenty friendly enough to me while we're here together, after all, you don't come across as the entirely unreasonable type.

People are rarely omnipotent. [ snap goes another branch. easily and cleanly. ] Everything comes to a head eventually, and when people who think that they're untouchable find out just how vulnerable they can be—

[ and here sabo breaks another, thicker, branch with his hand (singular) still with the pleasant expression on his face and sun shining bright above him. he reaches to grab yet another branch but doesn't snap this one. ...just yet. ]

There's something satisfying about watching them struggle to regain is to watch them fall from grace. Especially those who have used their belief of their omnipotence to harm or force others to do things against their will.
