[ DANTE... Waits until a poor punch to chime. ]

... Don't fall.

[foreverphantom]

You--!

[ the sudden comment throws him off and makes him throw a punch in rin's direction

he only manages to pivot and make sure he punches the air next to him instead at the last second ]

Don't--don't taunt me.

[damp]

[ WHOA stepping back even though dante has it handled ]

What? Why would I taunt you?

[foreverphantom]

[ now that he's recovered from the punch, he's got his arms folded defensively ]

Then what was that just now?

[damp]

[ ? ]

If you punch with enough force and miss the bag, then you might fall. That's all.

[foreverphantom]

[ just scrutinizing him for any hint of mockery or judgement ]

[damp]

[ HE JUST LOOKS CONFUSED ]

[foreverphantom]

[ NOT THE SHINY WET EYES ICON ]

...you got a lot of experience with punching bags?

[damp]

Not really. I mostly just do weight training.

[foreverphantom]

And yet you're suddenly an expert in punching bag technique.

[damp]

I don't have to be an expert to see you missing the bag.

[foreverphantom]

[ glares at rin for a moment

then punches the bag with more force than he's exhibited so far. with a yell, to boot ]

[damp]

...

You're not picturing that's me, are you...

[foreverphantom]

...you know, I actually hadn't thought of that.

[damp]

Hey.

[ that's not very friendship is magic of you dante ]

[foreverphantom]

You're the one who suggested it.

[damp]

As a warning!!

[foreverphantom]

What? How was that supposed to work?

[damp]

I said "you better not"...!

... Not that I'm going to do anything if you are.

[foreverphantom]

Nah. You're annoying, but not worth punching.

Yet.

[damp]

If you punch me, I'm punching you back.

[foreverphantom]

Good. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[damp]

Is that how you got along with Vi?

[ that's right... he hasn't forgotten the talking about feelings portion of this pc ]

[foreverphantom]

[ how dare you

his face immediately sours again ]

...no.

I wish.

[damp]

She wouldn't fight you? Or you just didn't get a chance?
