*Heads toward the exit*
Did you want us to bring you anything?

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

No thanks.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Perhaps—that would be her right to decide. But as a man with such a broad collection, you certainly understand the value of information. And from that perspective, we are all more valuable to you as allies than enemies.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Crushes the ball in my hand, releasing the entirety of the stored kinetic energy and the molten ground in it as a focused blast directly at you*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Hm. You care a lot about the girl, don’t you?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*stops and sticks my hand out, breathing in as the kinetic energy impacts my fingers, and when the energy flows into my chest, I let out quickly in pain, throwing my out sideways, dispersing the kinetic energy and dropping to my knees breathing heavily*
Whoa, that is hard…

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Smirks*
The things you can do with a little bit of knowledge and application of just vanilla speed and strength. Fascinating, isn't it?

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

More so than you likely do. I’ve not known her long, but I’m not an advocate for needless killing.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Calling it needless is a bit of a discredit, I believe. It really is a thrilling sport.
*Folds my hands behind my back*
If she were willing to answer every question I ask without fail, hesitation, or lies, I suppose that the benefits wouldn't be entirely lost. I won't say they outweigh the alternative for me, but it could be acceptable.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

In a situation where violence is the equilibrium state, that proposal is very likely to spiral into it. Perhaps if a neutral third party were to vet the questions in advance, we could verify whether such an exercise would be a waste of time for all of us.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Yeah, I’m glad I had some practice…, that would of been bad.
*gets up*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Surely it's quicker to just find out. Same end result regardless.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Me too. Would've been real bad if I overestimated you and accidentally killed you or something.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Quicker, but amicable terms may allow both of our parties to walk away satisfied.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Glad you believe in my strength.
*stretches and the sound of metal creaking can be heard*
Yeesh, I wouldn’t be able to die that easily. Just for your info~

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Now that I really put some thought into it, I know who you are as well.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

I’m sorry?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Yeah, not by face. But you’re one of those Tier Fives aren’t you?

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Ah, the Tier System is no more—that much has changed since you entered slumber. I'm curious as to your reasoning.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Like I said, I want information after being gone so long. And once it clicked, you became a lot more enticing. But you’re not in the driver’s seat anymore, is that so?
