.. only a few parries, ajax ? i’m disappointed.

a few. i can squeeze you in, if that’s what you’re wordlessly asking.

time’s up.

that’s good news. and i’m quite alright. nothing notable.

wonderful. you have five minutes to prepare.

hm. how are you, ajax ?

ㅤ ㅤ

good evening.

i’m sure you learn something every time we duel, so sure.

i’m quite alright.

that’s good. would you want to spar, then ?

( minus points for lack of utensil. picking up the slice, he’d go on and take a bite before returning the food to the plate. she would offer a ghost of a smile to their disciple. ) it’s good, but not desirable.

go on, enlighten me.

… then unlike you, i have training to tend to.

let me be very clear: every version of the story ends with you being slaughtered.

i am not meant for casual. i was born for soul crushing devotion.

sure. you’ve let it sit and cool, correct ?

i have no interest in the small groups of this world. go on and find something more ‘entertaining’. wasting time is your game, darling.

i did. additionally, i’ve come to the decision that you aren’t strong enough to waste anymore time on.

i don’t have time for silly, childish games. farewell.
