[. . .

ker-scruffing by the collar]

[SCRUFFED. . . even though he was just standing there]

Oi. I wasn't even thinking about it.

Still too close to the exit with too many creatures out there still.

[letting go, though]

[makes a face]

It's not even that close.

[fresh aaaair. . .]

[you live 250 days in caves, you get used to the idea of not getting fresh air for a while...]

For all you know, there's raptors out there that will eat your face.

[lightly, an attempt at humor] I am pretty attached to my face.

[... reaches out to pull at said face]

So don't be so quick to lose it.

[swats at] Oi c'mon, I was just looking. I promised some idiot I wouldn't go out alone, anyway.

Don't think that'll get me to believe you weren't thinking about it.

Since when has it been a crime to think about something?

Since you lied about it.

But hey, we're all criminals here... nothing but us criminals.

[snorts]

. . .

Kid?

[mock-salutes]

[oh cool

I guess this is the part where I kick you in the shin]

[nope, this is the part where I dodge]

Uwah. He's dangerous, too...

[. . . extreme dodge ability is 100x more annoying when it's used against you. GRUMPS, but pulls back]

I'm only dangerous to a certain type, and that type tends to be inanimate, shiny, highly expensive, and not alive.

And yet my shin was just about to get another bruise to its collection.

You do know tantei-kun's given me enough of those while in Sabra, right?

He's pretty good at that. I got one on my first day here, and I didn't even do anything.

You died. That's usually enough to warrant it...

[noticeable flinch]

Doesn't count, considering what it takes to get here.

... that cooould be the Sabra desensitizing... I mean. When I got revived after a bad game... he was hitting me and everything.

Tiny fists hurt, okay?

[glancing at him at the 'revived' part but making no commentary. FILING THAT AWAY FOR LATER]

At least it wasn't-- [HANDWAVE] The soccer ball.

No, that was later. When I was blind. The little cheating twerp.

[. . . FILING THAT AWAY FOR LATER TOO but hey, the way Kid talks about it manages to crack a slight grin out of him]

What happened to detective honor? There are rules to this sort of thing.

I know, right?

But there was a game on, and apparently, the pipsqueak picked Vulpecula out to deliver a blow to, so naturally he had to pick on the blind guy. And blind guy still dodged the first hit.

So yeah. You're not getting sympathy from me over a bruised shin upon arrival.
