...Though, there is something like an amused look at the mention of stubbornness. Fortunately (or unfortunately) Sabo has hit the nail on the head. It's so funny when it's only been a few weeks and yet each of them can know each other well enough to say such things. And not be too far from the mark. ]
...You're not wrong about that either.
Dan Heng knows how I am.
[ Though, hearing that bit of sentimentality, that fondness...he's kind of curious, particularly like this - in a good mood. ]
Someone close naturally would be. What's she like?
thanks for the confirmation that sabo had working eyes (and something else) when he brings up dan heng. there's no judgment here but sabo would be smiling if he had a way to. these two men and their long suffering partners. ]
What's she like?
[ he'll have to think about this since he's never had to explain her to anyone before. hmmm. ]
Strong—and I don't mean in physical strength alone. Her past is a sad story that's not uncommon for people back in my world but she doesn't let it hold her back. Instead, she spends her days with a smile on her face and helping those who were once like her.
[ for all of the fondness he used when speaking about her, he switches up the tone to be a be more serious. ]
Oh, but she has a terrible temper. [ a temper that sabo has been on the receiving end on a number of occasions. he sighs before providing an example. ] When I finally came back after my latest mission she tried to kick my face in before clinging to me crying.
[ Blade is a little more bold in his declarations than Dan Heng so happens to be - so he also sees no reason to deny the man happening to be his partner. Really funny how it was clocked so early on that everyone can tell they were exactly That.
But time going on sure did make it even more obvious... ]
One with inner strength despite her rough past. Though, I wonder how it isn't uncommon. Constant conflicts?
[ Balde's sure that there is no guarantee of that kind of strength in people, upon facing potential outside difficulties. Or inner ones, depending. ]
...I don't understand why she would do all of that.
Did you do something reckless to worry her?
[ And of course he just bluntly asks, because surely that is a possibility as to the why? Even with a terrible temper. Or, he supposes she could just be a huge, expressive worrywart. ]
Conflict seems to be a constant, too, but such is the nature of individuals. I'd imagine that the world would be pretty boring if there was absolute no conflict at all.
[ but it didn't mean that the conflict had to be something on a grand scale and involve injuring a great number of people. and it's a really good thing that sabo is just some hat when blade calls him out.
he's just going to casually clear his throat before he answers. ]
Ah. Well, it could be because she thought that I had died. Obviously, I was totally fine but there was quite a mess where people thought I was.
[ at least he's sounding somewhat apologetic about the whole thing..? ]
[ Blade merely says, though he doesn't know if he particularly really has thought too hard about it before - it is only now that he supposes he might have in truth? A world without conflict is preached as ideal, but he wonders what it would look like.
Letting it fade away and paying attention to the results of his call out post of Sabo, he hears this, and somehow isn't surprised. In fact... ]
...Definitely sounds like a mess that has your name on it.
[ Blade doesn't mean it in a totally bad way, he is just. Kind of really amused. ]
Good thing you managed to clear it up. I'm sure whatever other friends you had were worried too.
[ sabo might sound offended, but it's the kind of offended where it's faked. given the state of him right now, of course it would have his name spelled out all over it. the man is currently dead and embodying a hat.
he can't live that down or even try to deny it. ]
But yeah; they were. Everyone was so happy to see me and I even got this welcoming party of all things. [ he'll chuckle fondly at the memory. ] An army doesn't need to always be so serious...
Guess this gives us more of a reason to make sure everyone comes back, huh?
[ Blade can definitely tell that kind of tone by far - and fortunately, for him he has experience with Sabo's type of planning now. A twofer, and it makes it easier to tease. Even if it's rough around the edges.
When he speaks about how an army doesn't always need to be serious and all, though...it kind of reminds him of some things. Vaguely.
His past life. There were light-hearted moments like that too, he thinks. His previous associations from military positions on the Xianzhou and elsewhere... ]
I'm not one for parties. [ He avoids them. He will even avoid this recent one in this very week because he sucks like that. ] But, I understand their value.
Having a welcoming party...is a good reason to make sure everyone comes back.
