[The man who owns the voice will be a boner killer too - quite literally - if he feels anything like that. Best be careful.

Takasugi keened his head to the side, a useless reflex attempting to avoid an earache. He might have put his sword away after his initial warning missed it's mark, but Sakamoto's insistence that his display was some sort of manners had the blade twisting to glint in the evening light.]


Is it? [Takasugi's smirk spread in anger.]

Show me how they say goodbye. [Leave, before you get mixed up in his business and ruin his plan by somehow improving relations.]

[He's already beginning to smell that. The perspiration mingled with the murky air of the city that had settled in the back of Takasugi's throat. Even foreign alcohol's bite would be far more palatable.

Takasugi's eyebrow raised to the directions. If anything, he predicted his old acquaintance running off. A desirable outcome, so he'd allow it.

The man turned, grip relaxing on his blade as he anticipated release from this interaction.]

[Ah.

What a lovely lesson in cultural awareness.

Now, run.

Why was he smiling? Takasugi knew some men to face their deaths with a grin, so that must have been what Sakamoto was doing.

There was no flush in his cheeks, no embarrassment. Not even a twitch - though his eyes did roll a bit when he questioned why he was in the least bit surprised that something so exceedingly stupid had happened.

Takasugi turned, blade risen and ready to plunge into the man's neck if he didn't move.]
Since you've said your goodbyes...I'll send you off.
