. . .

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[throughbamboo]

'N I know if he asks ya to do somethin', ya do it.

[doggonemad]

I do. Fffffffuckkkkkah.

[throughbamboo]

[the corner of his mouth briefly lifts]

He's done it to me, too.

[doggonemad]

Kiryu-chan fuckin' sucks.

[throughbamboo]

He's a real pain in the ass, ain't he?

[doggonemad]

Shoulda beat the shit outta him more after he got outta prison.

[throughbamboo]

Y'can't beat that outta someone, bro.

[doggonemad]

Were you around Kamurocho last year? 'Cause ya woulda seen it every hour on the hour if ya were.

[throughbamboo]

Nah, I don't get out 'til 2010.

But I heard some 'bout it. Both of ya goin' at it all over the place.

[doggonemad]

Oh yeah. Did my whole scalin' thing an' everythin'. Came up with all these different ways ta get him ta fight me. Worked like a charm.

[throughbamboo]

[his eyebrows furrow]

Whole scalin' thing?

[doggonemad]

Right, I didn't start doin' that until a few years ago.

[ waves a hand. ]

I'm outta so many guys's leagues, it ain't even funny. Fights stopped bein' fun, so I started scalin' myself down to other people's levels. S'a challenge fer me, too, ta find that fine line. Juuuust hard enough that I'm a challenge but not so hard that they can't beat me if they really try. S'a rush.

[throughbamboo]

Huh . . .

[some people might take that as some kind of insult.

Nue just looks intrigued]

'N ya did that for Kiryu?

[doggonemad]

Yep. Started off by beatin' his ass into the ground just ta prove I could do it without breakin' a sweat, then got down to his level.

[throughbamboo]

Shit, so technically, yer the reason he hits like a goddamn truck.

[a thoughtful look, followed by a grin]

Makes me wonder if ya were doin' that for me.

[doggonemad]

I mean. Yer a special kind've exception.

[ so. yes. ]

[throughbamboo]

[the grin gets wider]

Which means ya prob'ly were back home, too.

[doggonemad]

. . . if I had ta guess, yeah. Prob'ly.

[throughbamboo]

[his face goes serious, very deep consideration here.

For like five seconds lbr]

Good. Means yer as strong as I've always thought ya were.

Means I gotta keep gettin' stronger, too.

[doggonemad]

It ain't somethin' I like ta advertise fer obvious reasons. Must've not come up back home fer whatever reason.

[ like him being a sadsack . . . ]

[throughbamboo]

We had a whole lot of other shit ta talk 'bout. But I won't tell no one.

[doggonemad]

An' prob'ly a lotta Tojo bullshit ta sort out. It never ends with 'em.

[throughbamboo]

Mhm. It still ain't endin'.

I ain't gonna talk 'bout it, though; we're supposed ta be relaxin'.

[doggonemad]

Don't think there's any point in talkin' 'bout it, anyway. S'gonna happen whether we like it or not, which makes relaxin' like this all the more important an' shit.
