[ There is nothing even remotely cheerful in Sasuke's expression as the video clicks on. Far from it. Please, stop watching while you can. ]

I think Sadiq Adnan is attractive. As a male, he is adequate.

That's all.

[ And it clicks off. Helpful hint? A bet has gone awry. ]

I'm coming in then.

[There's your warning. If you lock the door, she will climb through the window.]

[Video] --> [action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ He doesn't lock the door, at least, but that doesn't mean he's going to get up and greet her or anything. ]

...

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

[Wasn't expecting it; it's Sasuke after all. But she does go over to the bed and sits down next to him.]

What's going on?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ He'll just eye her for a moment. ]

What are you talking about? [ Because it isn't completely obvious. ]

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

That message didn't sound like you.

[Not to mention Sadiq's name was mentioned over the network twice within a matter of days. Sora might be naive but she is not stupid. Fortuna made sure of that.]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Ah. That.

I gave my word I would say it. [ Yeah. The dignified version of 'lost a bet'. ]

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

Wait, does that mean you did something involving that man?

[Starting to understand.]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

I did.

Do you know much about him?

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

Not much, just that he's a country person like Japan-san and Greece-san.

[Seriously...boys.]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Ah, right. I've known that for a while.

He's a difficult person to deal with.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

...was he the one who started this?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Does he really want to answer that? It's a little tricky, given that he's apparently not allowed to mention that there was a bet in the first place. No "rescinding" anything, as Turkey had said. ]

Both of us did.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

[Yeah well Turkey left a loophole: Sasuke can't say anything. There's nothing in that deal that says a third party can't figure it out.]

Seriously, have you ever thought about ignoring him?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps.

Though he might be useful in the future.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

Not if this is going on.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Regardless of his attitude and as frustrating as he is, he's still a talented sword fighter. Having someone like that around is good for me.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

Couldn't you learn from someone who doesn't rile you up like that?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

He does not "rile me up". [ He's offended, Sora. ]

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

[Deal with it.]

Sounds like it to me.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

That's giving him too much credit.

Besides, he is not my teacher.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

You don't really want him to be do you?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

He can fight.

[action]

[dreamsonwings]

So can half the people here.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

And I am willing to train with any and all of them. He is included in that.
