Silently appears before Sakakura wearing an orange mustache.
Somehow he wasn’t surprised that, even though they hadn’t seen each other in a little while, this was how the other chose to appear before him. At this moment, he was struggling a little - should he comment on the mustache? Or no? Would that be giving in to what his smaller companion wanted?
Baffled, the former ULTIMATE BOXING CHAMPION decides to do his best to pretend that nothing is… amiss.
“… yes? Is there something I can help you with?”
That was the right way to handle this situation, right? Honestly, at this moment? Sakakura wasn’t entirely convinced. // @cleanhope
❝I heard you called a certain someone a 'bully'.❞ What a hilarious, childish name. She knew of that man's true nature having witnessed it first-hand, growing accustomed to it, welcoming that darkness herself. A snort soon followed. ❝I wonder if you would say the same to his face. Whatever you might believe after me after that fall-out we had, he is ten-- no, an infinite time worse. I would be careful if I were you, but you can ignore my advice.❞ [ For Yukimura. ]
When the other spoke to him, his cat-like golden eyes shiftover. It’d been a while since she’d went out of her way to speak to him. And?That was fine. Perhaps it was childish of him, but he wasn’t the type toget angry often – so when forced into that position, it made him ratheroff-put. Not that he’s prone to holding grudges, necessarily, however? He wasn’tgoing to be the same chipper man for a while yet. He was put into a rather tightposition at that time – and that was withouther coming in and speaking to him when she’d already made up her mind onhow that encounter was going to go.
“So what if I have?” Yukimura eventually sighs out the words, frowning alittle as he scratches the back of his head. “I have never been one to refrainfrom speaking my mind. And I feel like bully is the most acceptable thing I couldcall him. Especially to Isanami. It’s best to respect the fact that she doesn’treally like swearing.”
However, he does listen to her the rest of the way. Therewas little in regards to a physical response – his eyes remained on the crimson-eyedwoman. Listening, in respectful silence, before nodding a little after shefinished. “I suppose I can try to remember that, should I ever meet him myself.”The words were spoken briefly, curtly, but earnestly. Pulling out his fan as hespeaks then – snapping it open to cover the lower half of his face. “However, Ishould remind you of something I said to you before: I don’t fear death. ShouldI lose my head for something I said at a poorly timed moment? Then that isbecause it was fate that it should happen that way. And perhaps if you’reconcerned for how I approach thisman, you should be more careful not to allow him around gentle souls likeIsanami.”
If she was implying this man was a threat towards UEDA, thenit was her who should be careful – asit was her who had brought him this direction. The LORD of UEDA didn’t hold hisold charming face for her at this time.
If she thought this man was a threat, and she was the reason he was here – then itwas HER, who should be watching herself. Because if something did happen to hispeople under her watch, then the freedom she had around here would be revoked.He’d been rather open and kind to her, he’d always been. After all, he was arather OPEN MINDED lord, by comparison to most. But if she started activelybeing a threat, or bringing threats, into his land? He would have to change histone. As the Lord, his duty was first to his people. “I appreciate yourcandidness about this. I’ll make sure my Brave’s are properly informed on thefact that he is a treat. But, unless you have information on how to deal with him - I’m unsure of what you want to do by giving me this information.”

❝Hey,Hijirihara-san. Thank you for the plushy you, I really love it and its the best gift anyone ever gave me too. I even gave him a name too!❞ She was still holding it in his arms aonce she decided to bring it to work and leave it on her desk when doing the reports there,plus it was too adorable to leave home.
When his PARTNER arrives, Hijirihara looks up – once again,surprisingly, at his desk. He really was doing his ABSOLUTE best. He still wasn’tthe best at being business only. Especiallygiven that he was quirkier then most members of their DIVISION. However, itappears his cleaning up his act a little has helped him in more ways then one.Including the added BENEFIT of his partner being able to l o c a t e himsometimes.
“I’m glad you like it.” He starts, smiling ever-so-slightly. It was f a i n t. But it was there. “I’ve always sorta… enjoyed working onstuff like that. I mean, I know… there isn’t a lot of… time to use for itanymore. But…” He scratches the back of his head as he talks – his eyeswondering to the plush in her arms.
He really was very PLEASED she liked it. He’d never beenwonderful with G I F T S, so part of him had been very concerned when he’ddecided to give her a present in turn. Sure, it wasn’t typical behavior for aJapanese youth like himself to give a girl a gift on VALENTINE’s DAY. Normally,St. White’s Day would be the proper day for him to give her a gift – however?As he’d been a traveler when he’d been younger, picking up on other traditionsweren’t too surprising. He was just glad that she’d liked it, even if it hadn’tbeen given at the r i g h t time.
“Can I ask what name you gave him?” Hijirihara asks, tiltinghis head ever-so-slightly to the side. Curiosity in his voice.
He had never been very good at expressing himself. But? Hewas learning a little bit better with both visual cues and vocal ones. ASANOMISAKI was really helping the young man: Even if he was forever going to be anendless mess of quirky behavior.
… e s p e c i a l l y given his other hobby.

❛ KAMANOSUKE!!!! Have you ever sneezed so hard that you knocked down a tree or something? ❜
The moment she started yelling he knew this conversation wasn’tgoing to go well – he could feel himself cringing visibly at the others obnoxiousyell. Not to mention, when it finally “CLICKED” to the Brave of Wind what she’djust asked???
Annoyance shows visibly in his features.
Really? Really?? RE A L L Y? ? ?
These were the sorts of things he was going to waste histime with now? ( And let me premise this with: And they have been getting along– well, okay??? Lately? ) “Seriously, bitch? You hunt me down, screamat me, and asked me something that goddamned stupid?” Welp, their goodstreak can’t last forever – if they don’t have moments like this every once anda while? The rest of the BRAVES would wonder who these imposters are.
“Have you ever sneezedso hard you put out the goddamned sun? Have you? Because whatever your fuckinganswer is? Then you know the fucking answer! Now get out of here before I kickyour ass!” Kamanosuke has become a bit better in the teamwork department.And? To be fair, the two of them have gotten along surprisingly well for the last while – it was about time one of themblew up.

❛ Ne, Ana, have you ever been so hot that you started sweating ice? ❜
“I wish.”
The first words that left the golden-haired woman weren’t thought out at all. Instead, they simply slipped from her lips. The truth was? Anastasia hated heat. If she could do something like that just to keep her body at a naturally chilled temperature? She would fully take advantage of that skill.
However, realizing she’d just spoken without thinking, the BRAVE of ICE laughs a little before looking over at Isanami. Wonderly, somewhat fondly - when she’d become so able to just speak her mind. “Remember when we first went to open air baths together?” She asks, laughing a little... she remembered that adventure going... somewhat poorly for a few people who couldn’t stay on their own side. “I couldn’t even stay in the water for too long… I don’t handle heat well. A skill like that would be nice, but... I would likely abuse it.”
She could barely manage the STEAM in that place… and though open air baths are lovely, she always finds herself half BOILING ALIVE… Unfortunately. And though she can freeze the water particles in their air to form ice when she was in danger, she was more adapted to using natural bodies of water to create her weapons.

❛ Hanzo, have you ever burped out fire before? ❜ [ i was going through my drafts and there was this conversation isanami had with a friend where if someone ate too much spicy food that's how they breathe fire or something and now i'm going to do the noble thing and spam braves who have control over elements with stupid questions ]
A snort escapes the BRAVE of FIRE when his smaller companionasks him that – oh god. These werethe sorts of things she thought about? This was what she became curious enoughabout… that she hunted him down to ask? Truly?
“Have I evermentioned that I love the way your brain works?” The crimson-haired manasks, aloud, as he reaches to ruffle the others hair carefully. He didn’t wantto mess it up, though, he was very amused. “BecauseI do. Truly.” He wasn’t really teasing,ether. As an IGA shinobi, he thought it rather sweet that this was how his smaller companion’s head worked. Howshe ticked.
As he’d always been a warrior, he couldn’t say that he’dever had such a genuinely innocent thought…
But? “I think theonly time I did something like that,” He starts, scratching at his cheek ashe averts his gaze. It wasn’t an… overly embarrassing story, but it was stillsilly. An amateur mistake made by an amateur. “Waswhen I was younger. Part of my training was to take alcohol into my mouth, so thatI could surprise my enemy. My teacher told me I was supposed to use it as anaccelerant. I did, but? I hiccupped? Long story short – I got into a lot oftrouble for setting stuff on fire that I wasn’t meant to.”
He grins a little, half-awkwardly. If anyone else had asked,he would have just laughed at them for asking a “s t u p i d” question. But sincehis young friend had asked? He would tell her the truth. Even if it didn’t painthim in the light of being the “ultimate shinobi” that the name “HATTORI HANZO” implied.“Keep it between us, though, will you?” Headds, putting a finger to his lips. “Nobody got hurt in that incident, but? If Ilet it be known that I did such a thing, Saizou will know it was me who burnt theside of his home in Iga, while he was out training with his master andAnastasia once…” By that, he was saying this – yep. He’d been young at thetime. But? He had been older then the other two already. He was considered a “professionalamateur” at the time. An official shinobi, but? With limited experience. So?That sort of slip up… well… didn’t look great.
And so far, he hadn’t been caught for thatincident. At least not by them, so? He’dlike to keep it that way.
