That's good. It would be strange if you could break twice.

[ he'll let the flames die out and sheath his sword again ]

Mikazuki's the one who helped me learn.

[preowned]

He didn't spar with you, did he?

[unfriendliest]

Once. Before I knew it was him.

...He used a fan.

[preowned]

[ djfsdkgsd that gets him to laugh ]

I guess that makes sense... you would be able to tell it was him if he used a sword.

[ ... ]

He still refuses to do it with me.

[ IT'S KILLING TSURU THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF WAY TO BE CUCKED ]

[unfriendliest]

He is?

[ that's... kind of funny lmao ]

Did he say why?

[preowned]

No. Every time I bring it up, he either changes the subject or pretend his back hurts because he's so old. He's not that much older than me, you know? I know his back doesn't hurt.

[ HE IS KILLING HIS TSURU ]

[ kara's voice turns flat ]

Maybe he doesn't think sparring is romantic.

[preowned]

You can pretend to feel sorry for me.

[unfriendliest]

There are other people you can spar with, you know.

[preowned]

I do with Lili now, and I have with Hisoka before...

[ one is less cursed than the other ]

But Lili's still learning and Hisoka doesn't use swords. It's not the same.

[unfriendliest]

Yeah.

[ she's doing well - kara was pleased with her progress, before she died. but hisoka, while a decent opponent, has a very strange fighting style. kara isn't sure he likes it. ]

I'd spar with you if I could, but...

[ he'd have to be dead for that lmao ]

[preowned]

... I'd prefer if we're unable to, yes.

[ even though tsuru would really love to spar against kara again, he's a bigger fan of kara not being dead. ]

[unfriendliest]

Once you've been revived, then.

[preowned]

I can't wait to bet you then!

[unfriendliest]

[ kara gives him a Look ]

You think you can win?

[preowned]

[ he grins ]

Yes.

[unfriendliest]

I don't think you can.

[preowned]

[ ... ]

Yes I can?

[unfriendliest]

[ kara looks at him, expression deliberately neutral. ]

Then you'll have to prove it.

[preowned]

Should we bet on it?

[unfriendliest]

...Alright. Then what are the stakes?

[preowned]

[ he has to think on it ]

Well, for you it'll have to be something I just wouldn't do normally.

[ tsuru goes along with most things ]

[unfriendliest]

[ give him a moment to consider that ]

...No talking for a full day.

[preowned]

[ ...... ]

Fine.

[unfriendliest]

[ wow he actually agreed to it ]

And if you win?
