Colt .45s when I have access to my normal weaponry, but I'm capable with most firearms.

[circumsutus]

You take after your father.

I suppose you decided to ignore hand-to-hand combat training in favor of hoping there'd always be a Knight around to bash heads for you?

[doctor_dragoon]

[Damn right he did. Also, seven-year-olds aren't the best at physical combat, so he kinda had to start off with something else...

Yukio frowns.]

I focused on my strengths.

[circumsutus]

["Seven-year-olds aren't the best at physical combat" Yukio that is no excuse you are obviously not from the Soul Eater world we have children too little to talk going into battle.]

And right now, I could probably kill you with hardly any effort.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yeeeaaaah, no. Yukio had a kind father who waited until he was ready and then taught him to kill things.

Not a great way to put Yukio at ease, man. He tenses up, mind automatically flashing back to the last time he was in a fight with a middle-aged man who nearly did kill him with hardly any effort. Hitting a little close to home, there.]

But you won't.

[circumsutus]

Of course I won't. What kind of person do you think I am?

[doctor_dragoon]

I can't honestly say I know.

[circumsutus]

[A dramatic sigh of SADNESS AND DISAPPOINTMENT does he remind you of your older brother/headmaster yet]

Not the kind of man who'd kill an unarmed boy just for personal amusement.

[doctor_dragoon]

[A little bit, but Stein reminds him more of a different creepy, smiling adult at the moment.]

Well that's a relief. [Sarcastic? Yeeeaaah.]

[circumsutus]

You should probably learn some hand-to-hand combat, just in case you annoy Maka at some point. It might be a blow to your pride if she threw you through a wall.

[doctor_dragoon]

[... Well, that's difficult to imagine. Maka's so little and polite and-... But then again, she did already kinda put him in his place on some stuff involving her relationship with Rin (and that Kid person). She was still very polite about it, though.]

I think I'd rather avoid such a situation entirely.

[circumsutus]

That might not be an option. Maka and Kid are both a bit hot-tempered, and they're used to arguments with people who can fight back.

[doctor_dragoon]

I don't intend to start any arguments.

[He only argues with Rin... which could lead to the same problem, but whatever.]

[circumsutus]

I didn't think you would.

Still, you would benefit from some training.

[doctor_dragoon]

I'll look into it.

[He's sure he could find someone through the Defense Force. Or maybe he'll just ask dear old Dad.]

[circumsutus]

You could ask Kid to teach you.

[doctor_dragoon]

[But that's Rin's boyfriend and would be exceedingly awkward.]

I've not yet made his acquaintance.

[circumsutus]

[But that's the point.]

Really? That's a surprise.

The two of you have quite a few things in common.

[doctor_dragoon]

[NOPE.]

How so?

[circumsutus]

The use of guns, for one.

I'm sure you'll find other similarities eventually.

[doctor_dragoon]

I'm sure plenty of people here have experience with firearms.

[He doesn't like your pushing, Stein.]

[circumsutus]

But those people aren't dating your brother.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Aaaand there's a flare of discomfort.]

Why would that matter?

[circumsutus]

Because you should be on friendly terms with people your brother cares about.

[doctor_dragoon]

...

[STOP BEING REASONABLE, CRAZY MAN.]
