[ he doesn't say anything to that first part, just taking his gummiphone back wordlessly. he can think of a few things to say, but all of them feel like platitudes. ]
"Even if everything else is horrible"? Now, come on, it hasn't been that bad yet, has it? [ he could think of a lot of worse scenarios, and all of them involve death and dying, so watch him take that back in a week. but he just switches his phone to camera mode and shows her ] But speaking of learning-- this thing does have another function. You ever heard of pictures?
Sometimes good things can come out of some pretty messed up circumstances.
[ but there is no way he can defend an actual facts pro-kidnapping stance, so he will. let that go. ]
Sorta, yeah. They're like portraits, only instantaneous, so no sitting down and posing for hours for some random guy. Here-- smile!
[ and he takes a picture without giving her much more of a warning then that, like an asshole, though he turns the phone around to show her right after. so she can see. his mistakes. ]
she just looks SURPRISED but the thing is that unfortunately lili is very pretty and most expressions are still decent on her face unless she's gone full mad dog vicious
in this case she'll just look surprised
and then when she sees the phone screen, her expression turns confused]
Alright, alright, don't bite my head off because you're shy.
[ he deletes it after saying this obvious fucking lie, but he refuses to think any longer on being called a pervert. this is why he still thinks girls are Difficult To Understand ]
[hmmmmm she's going to think about how to better identify chickens for a second
and then she's just going to sigh]
One would hope it would! I'm growing rather tired of this trend of people with remarkable power and skill who act as if a bird took off with the better half of their common sense.

Me?! But - from a second ago?
no subject
[ it is a little bit more complicated than that, but also, eh ]
This one's alright. Mind if I keep it?
[ he says, like he isn't just going to anyway ]
no subject
Don't be a pervert.
Delete it.
no subject
Wh-- Not like that! [ what the heck!!! ] I keep pictures of people I know as a souvenir, kid, don't make it weird.

No. You don't need one of me.
That's weird.
no subject

There are already weird people here. Don't get yourself lumped with them by accident.
no subject
Yeah? Like who?
[ he's thinking of hisoka. ]
no subject
[yea]
Tokidoki is one of those shameless skirtchasers, too.
Tsurumaru wouldn't stop asking to touch me either.
[a non-zero number of people have sincerely hit on lili and tsurumaru's a sword]
no subject
Tsurumaru? The grumpy guy?
[ wtf ]
no subject
Tsurumaru is wearing white, and he is very strange but mostly harmless.
[he's just a meme]
no subject
axel's snaps his fingers as he recognizes the name ]
Oh yeah! The guy with the chicken. [ a beat ] I don't know that he's all there.
no subject
... do they both have chickens...
[swords and chickens??]
... mm, I would agree with that assessment. He seems rather empty-headed. Unfortunately he seems rather skilled as well.
no subject
...Maybe it's the same chicken?
[ how would he know. the latter half just. makes him cough to hide a laugh ]
Yeah, well, from what I know, one definitely doesn't preclude the other.
[ see: like the entire line of kh protags ]
no subject
and then she's just going to sigh]

[she really didn't need to say it like that]
no subject
That's-- that's one way to put it, yeah. Well, it's not like they say strength comes from the brain.
no subject
Are you laughing at me...
[stop that]
no subject
[ he almost said mean streak but SHOULDN'T ]
no subject
You mean how I speak?
no subject
no subject
a pause, and she tries not to let the fluster show on her face but.]
... why?
[she used to be scolded for talking like this!]
no subject
[ what a non-answer, but that's literally his reflex one because every single person in kh shows their affection via snark ]
You're just saying it how you think, right? It's funny.
