Hmm... Maybe it's that I'm not sure I'm strong enough to best anyone here. [This is such an obvious lie that it should be amazing she's telling it with a straight face, as if she thinks that her turning around saying this has any chance at veracity.] Do you think I'm the type to ambush someone for a death match?
What about you? [The way he's reacted so far is very interesting.] Have you done something here that makes you feel like a bad person?
[ listen, he's definitely not the brightest of this group, but he's not that easily fooled. he does find it funny, however, that she would try to make that excuse, considering her personality. he genuinely finds it amusing, and it's difficult to keep the smirk from his lips. ]
I think you'd challenge them up front, and then go all out and kill 'em. In that sense, you'd be kinda like a coworker of mine.
[ he shrugs. ]
I haven't done anything bad here, aside from threatening to break every bone in Lobelia's body. But for what it's worth, the only thing I regret about tryin' to do that when that's exactly what he wanted.
[ the last thing that crea wanted to do was give that man what he wanted. ]
You're right. He would have been thrilled - though I imagine you'd have been a sight harder to put back together than Beel. [So Crea's regret may also end up being the thing that saved him, if only because he didn't go through with it.]
Would I challenge someone up front? I certainly think that would be much more engaging than scurrying about in the dark. According to Lobelia, his kill was the same.
Probably. I can’t go dying yet…not when I have stuff to return to.
[ his eyes grow dark at the thought of having to compare her to lobelia and teiba… truly, even if he feels little towards the latter, he is a far cry from whatever that freak was… ]
Teiba’s a decent guy, despite the fact that he’s, well, a seasoned criminal. Always wants to pick fights and always lookin’ for a stronger opponent to fight ‘n kill. Short temper, sometimes irrational.
[ he shrugs. ]
I mean, if that doesn’t sound like you, then you don’t have to take me seriously. I don’t know ya as well as ya know yourself.
Well, I certainly don't have a short temper... [She dwells on this a little, one of her cheeks puffing out slightly.] Short attention span, maybe. I can't help it when things become dreadfully boring.
Hehe... Let's call it "poor impulse control"? I'm a woman of instinct.
[But whether that answers the question of which she resembles more...that's anyone's guess.
Well. She will simply have to try not to let it bother her.]
Case in point... [She gestures at the waterfall.] I've returned here yet again, like a ball on a string. What brings you to this place?
[ he looks at the waterfall, destroyed as it is. his expression is thoughtful, as if he hadn’t expected the question. ]
I guess it was the same. I was drawn back to it like a ball on a string. [ he smiles wryly. ] The future has less nature, you know? There’s enormous cities made of steel, and hardly any forests. So in a way this feels a bit closer to home.

Am I more like him or your coworker?
