[Silver let his head drop as he lowered his blade after the final kata, breathing heavily. Damnit, but even ten days after New Years, he was still confused over the whole 'little brother' thing, never mind what else had happened. It made no sense; he didn't need or want a family or anything like that-- it was stupid, worthless and it only lead to hurt and loss.

Which only frustrated him, though he wasn't going to go to the pirate samurai for answers as to why he'd called Silver a 'little bro'. Silver could and would figure them out on his own. After all, he'd bee doing fine so far - gotten this far on his own. He didn't care for the bonds he'd formed here, they would only hold him back. Family was loss, pain and abandonment, and like hell he was even going to open himself up for that again..

A shake of his head and he started the katas again, this time with more force than needed; Anything to clear his mind of stupid, stupid crap that didn't mean anything. ]

ffffas;dljsf oh god....

[treasurehunts]

[.... um.

No.]

... ya can't take yer anger out on other people like that, kid.

It's destructive and will only make it harder. What'll happen when ya pick a fight with someone ya can't win against...?

And they just ain't as patient as me?

8D And this curse is the best thing ever or Silver would just be '.....' by now.

[brbstealingpknm]

[...well. at least no one can see this?

But a complete freeze at the 'against someone you can't beat'.] ..............

.... Already done that when I picked the wrong person to tick off. [is that... guilt? Maybeeee.] He hurt Magnemite pretty bad and could have done the same to me.

the most convenient!! now Aniki can really play Aniki

[treasurehunts]

[ . . . ah. So he does have a heart.

Motochika lets go of him then, but doesn't go far. He leaves a hand on Silver's shoulder before bending at the waist again to see his expression.]

... alright. So ya got scared.

Just shows you gotta be careful wit' what ya do and say, alright? Now... I've got yer back before anyone hurts ya- but I won't be so happy if it turns out you were the one provokin' 'em.

Fightin's alright, Silver. But make sure you've got a reason for it.

Yup! He does it so well. <3

[brbstealingpknm]

[Shhhh. He totally does not have a heart.] .... ...

Yea, whatever. [It's... going to take a lot more than words to get him to even start to believe that he won't just be abandoned by 'family'. But give it time and he might start to actually accept it.

Sort of like how he's slowly accepting others....]

[treasurehunts]

[ . . . and maybe not so gently nudging his head to the side.]

You are one stubborn runt to teach.

[brbstealingpknm]

Hey -- [ Just a devil may care smirk in return before he starts to move away.] Tch. Nope. You're the stubborn one.

[treasurehunts]

[.... god he hates that smirk

LIFTING YOU UP OFF THE GROUND WITH YOUR COLLAR AGAIN, SILVER]

Ever heard of respect?

[brbstealingpknm]

[HIYXFSHJDJK KLJSDLFLJKJ LJKL WTF ANIKI!] When it's earned, yes.

[treasurehunts]

In that case...

You ever heard of fear?

[brbstealingpknm]

...Yea.

[treasurehunts]

Then realize that one way or another, I'm not puttin' up with any more of yer lip. Maybe the first step to you shapin' up your act instead of being such a pain in the ass all the time.

[and with that, he drops Silver]

Don't make me test my luck again.

[brbstealingpknm]

[At least this time he doesn't stumble much. Still, when he looks up -- ?He feels like he's being boxed in - while that's more than likely not the intended effect of the words... Or maybe it is but he;s not sure. And anyway, Motochika has punched him once and has hand around his throat. That he didn't choke him doesn't really matter so much as the fact that. Hand. Around his throat.] Keh. Or wh--

[A shake of his head though as he bites back his retort, mostly. But... maybe this meeting has been good for something --] .. Respect is earned, not just given. I don't respect anyone just because they say so or they might punch me again or worse.

That's the coward's way.
