[ When the feed clicks on the camera is skewed slightly, poorly focused and clearly not actually intended for filming. No, this is very much an accident. ]

I'm… I am. I'm… I am. [ Sasuke is seen hunched over on his bed, eyes trained on a notebook scribbled with various English words he's studying and his mouth set in a grim line. Seems he's on contractions at the moment. ]

You will… You… ru. You ru. You'll… くそ! [ That notebook is suddenly flung away, his head sinking into his hands as Sasuke sighs out heavily. Such hot-headedness from a normally calm and collected person… Luckily for him that video cuts off before he can unwittingly reveal anything else he doesn't care to share. ]

( ooc: edited to add that this is backdated to just a few hours before the furniture event begins. )

What would you call "weird"?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Anything responsible for the aforementioned explosions, for one, I guess.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

... Ah. Explosions. How vague. Those must be common enough, though; that's really what you would think of as strange?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Look, it really depends on the kind of explosion, if you wanna be technical.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

I don't know what you mean by that.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Well, there's like, little ones. They're totally harmless. Like fireworks, yeah? And then there's the big ones, the 'blow your house up' kind.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Hn.

Much more like the latter.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yours? [ Should he be finding a place to hide.... ]

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

[ No, you're cool, bro. He doesn't want to blow you up. ]

That's right. I told you once before, I need to be able to do what I have to do.

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ But what if it's an accident...? ]

Totally support you there.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... Well then there's nothing he can do, is there? ]

You shouldn't say that with such confidence.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Would it be better if I added 'for now?'

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps. [ He's not going to hide his intentions or anything but he's also not about to volunteer the information. That's just plain unnecessary. ]

At any rate, let's hope that neither of us will be here long enough that we end up endangering one another. [ 'Cause that just tends to happen. ]

[video]

[bauhinia]

I doubt I'm gonna hurt anyone. I'm pretty harmless, y'know? [ Well, in some senses. In others, he's very, very dangerous. ]

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Sorry, I can't take you at your word.

[video]

[bauhinia]

You think I'm lying or is it more you think I'm de-valuing my own abilities?

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

It could be either one in my eyes. I'm not going to let my guard down, whether I personally like you or not.

[video]

[bauhinia]

I guess that's prudent. I'm just thinking, y'know, student-teacher relationships are kinda built on a certain amount of trust, yeah?

Like, I trust you to practice and you trust me not to teach you to say stupid stuff and tell you it's useful.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

I have no choice but to trust you. [ He's not the best person to invoke the whole student-teacher pact on. ]

I'll always uphold my end of the bargain. [ Unless you ask to possess his body, in which case he'll kill you. ]

[video]

[bauhinia]

Because you wanna learn, right? I'm not a bad teacher, am I? [ He's not above a certain amount of manipulation. Sorry, Sasuke. I know it's like your critical weakness. ]

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

[ You aren't sorry! ]

... No, you aren't a bad teacher.

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ Not terribly. ]

Okay, then let's leave at that for now. If one of us steps on the other's toes, I'm sure we'll know it.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Mm. I'm not the type to suffer annoyances in silence.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I didn't get that impression.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Good to hear. As I said, I won't underestimate you either.
