[JUST GONNA. LEAVE THE SWORD THERE. . . and then rock back and sit onto the ground next to Man Eater's side. his gaze flickers up to King, then Hiryuu, then Raijuu, then-- well. C is gone. but he has allies. . . he guesses?]
[it's fine]
Killing you when you're helpless doesn't feel right.
[and there is a small, tiny, barely alive part of him that doesn't feel good about it]
It's not like I enjoy killing people. I can't appreciate the severity of death when we all come back at the end, but it isn't fun.
[ he snorts contemptuously, but doesn't appear to be making any moves to do him harm. remaining quite still, in fact, only his eyes flickering upwards to glance at Mars. ]
If you killed me while I was out, I'd have even less respect for you...
[ turns his gaze upwards, just looking pensively at the sky ]
It's the fight I enjoy, too. But I also enjoy the end result. Or, I don't even know if enjoy is the right word—but I always felt like I knew who I was in those moments.
[is this bonding?? because there's something about that-- I always felt like I knew who I was in those moments-- that resonates with Mars. in the heat of battle. . . no one can control him. win or lose, he is always himself]
And I get that feeling. I really do.
[shifts and grabs the sword handle, yanking it from Man Eater's shoulder to free him. SORRY THAT PROBABLY HURTS but hey! he can move]
So if you want to go again? I'm here. But a fight's no good if both people aren't totally into it. I'll let you leave if you'd rather run. But if I've got a scar from you?
Then you get one from me.
[touches his neck again, then gestures to Man Eater's shoulder. now they're even]

[waves a hand]
It's the fight beforehand that does it for me.

Re: @HERE
his eyes follow Mars' hand, looking at the wound on his neck and then the one on his own shoulder. and he actually grins a little. ]
... Gyahaha. That's pretty romantic, you know.

Gyahahaha, oh, you are shy. Did I find your true weakness? I'll remember that for next time.

Re: @HERE
Anyway, I won't run, but I think I've had enough for today.
