[godwhisperer]

Ahahaha! A near miss indeed. You are lucky I was able to extend my barrier to incorporate your thoughtless intrusion.

[hollowheart]

[Have The Look. It will stay on her face long enough to illustrate "what" to the best of her ability.]

Are you challenging me?

[godwhisperer]

Feh.

[He looks away from her gaze, either intimidated or unimpressed.]

I am bored by the prospect of such stakes. My true foe is none but our captor. However, I must warn you that it is dangerous to come in my vicinity.

[hollowheart]

Then stay out of my way. [She slumps slightly to stretch her leg, reaching for a foot behind her.]

I don't want trouble. [She adds as an afterthought, just in case.]

[godwhisperer]

Nor do I seek conflict. It is merely a warning. But very well, I will begone.

[So he basically just kind of walks to the other side of the fountain and stands there, instead.]

[hollowheart]

[She keeps on stretching for a while, not taking her eyes off him. He's the first person to approach her here out of his own free will.]

You can still use the courtyard.

[godwhisperer]

[Turning his head and looking back at her.]

I do not require your permission.

[hollowheart]

You're the one just standing there.

[godwhisperer]

Hah! I am the king of madness who drives away the terrors from which even gods tremble. I have no need to justify myself! If I choose to stand here for my own grim purposes, it is of no concern to you.

[hollowheart]

And tomorrow you may be dead. What a waste of sunlight.





But it is no concern to me.

[godwhisperer]

Then we understand one another.

[He will not be dead. But no use arguing it. He's just going to stand there, because this conversation is going great.]

[hollowheart]

[Fine. She'll give in first.] Do you want to train?

[godwhisperer]

You're asking me to train?

[hollowheart]

Is the class you belong to at your home above physical exertion?

[godwhisperer]

No, certainly not. Since I have been forced to assume mortal form, I have attempted to ensure my body will become an adequate tool even with its own limitations.

[He just didn't expect to be invited to do anything.]

Very well, what is your technique? You practice running, yet Gundam Tanaka does not flee.

[hollowheart]

[wait, what? She side eyes him for a long moment before stretching her arms.] If you don't run, your body doesn't warm up.

[godwhisperer]

Warmth...

[He trails off, as though speaking to himself.]

Yes, of course, she would say such a thing. For she is not aware of the iciness of the blood that flows through these cursed veins.

[hollowheart]

[And she's happy to speak over him] And if you don't warm up properly, your muscles will cramp and you'll inhibit proper blood circulation.
