Don't try to give me a "comrade" spiel, man. You're naming cats after 'em.
[ it's. teasing. a little. he sits down to watch the cats go. isame is pinning roxi every single time because let's be real, she stands no chance. but they are... enjoying themselves, probably. ]
[it's dismissive, but less in the "it's not important" way and more an "i don't want to talk about it" way. in the meantime, isame is surprisingly patient with the kitten, just keeping at it without actually snapping at her.]
They're not exact fits, but they reminded me enough of their namesakes.
[ he notes the tone, so he's not gonna push for details, only hums in acknowledgement. ]
So the real Soramaru's nice and Isame isn't, is that what you're saying? [ he does have to make one joke. one single joke. anyway he'll be NICE ] I was just messing around for mine. I guess she does have the fighty part for both of 'em down, though.
... Well, it's worked out for one week so far. That's not too bad. [ but he doesn't seem entirely certain on any other following week, somehow. ] Think he just doesn't want you dead, man.

So I'm guessing the personality fit, too?

Ah, he was nice enough to me, for the most part. He just had little trust for outsiders. Sora-kun got his name for being friendly and a little bolder.
[he still can't really see under the bed, but he's listening, at least-- just in case.]
Who did you name yours after?
no subject
I think I knew some people like that. Weird how those types always gravitate towards each other.
[ it's know, really, but let's not get stuck on details. as it is, he stares at the cats play fighting for a little while longer... ]
Xion and Roxas. [ casually. ] It was meant as a joke, but it kinda stuck.
no subject
[but he hums thoughtfully at that answer, toying idly with one of the dangling bits of his headband.]
I think her name suits her. She's quite persistent, it seems.

no subject
Ah, how blunt of you...
[as for the question, though:]
Shouldn't I be?
[she'd presumably be the only one of the two he knows.
except he also never bothered asking who the hell roxas is, so.]
no subject
[ but. yeah. he lets out a laugh and... Seemingly changes the subject ]
Sol told me you an' he were sorta friends, before... [ he waves a hand vaguely ]
no subject
[that's as much as he seems to be willing to acknowledge. they're not friends, probably.]
He really doesn't know when it's best to give up, though.
no subject
no subject
[a huff of a breath, there.]
I don't know what he thinks he's going to accomplish.

no subject
[a losing battle, he's sure.]

no subject
[like, sure, he's still alive for now, but-- still.]
Then again, I've known people like him before, and they're terribly persistent.
no subject
[ clearly? not the issue? but ]
You know a lot of stubborn people?

what he eventually settles on is:]
He might be.
no subject
Fair enough. I doubt he's gonna stop anytime soon, though.
no subject
I've begun resigning myself to that, yes. Perhaps eventually he'll figure out particular types don't change.
