"Yknow what? Hell yeah, gotta believe in yourself before people will start to believe in you."
"No one likes it when I mope and I'm tired of it too so here I am, admitting that I'm cool even if no one else thinks so."

"Not particularly..I work pretty closely with other vigilantes, we have eachothers backs yknow. I just don't take on students anymore."
"I'm surprised you've ever worked with anyone. I always took you for someone who worked alone all the time."

"There's a fundamental difference between friendship and a work relationship, if you make it clear you'll be a good ally she might do the same..something something mutual respect something something. There's lots of people I absolutely hate that I also respect, it is possible."
"If I apologized it would be a lie. She seems to like provoking me and while I shouldn't have acted on it, I don't feel bad for kicking her. So I can't promise I can make amends but maybe we don't have to speak to each other unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Hrm..I guess you've got two options then, either turn down the offer or make it right with this girl and move on. Heroes are supposed to be moral or whatever..making amends and all might give you the best of both worlds."
"Yeah,I think she'd stabbed me in the back metaphorically and literally if given the chance. That and you can't work together if you don't have some level of respect. I think she's odd and she thinks I'm a coward, we'd never gel well."

"That's different then..working with someone you don't like is tricky, you can't tell if they really have your back when shit hits the fan. I'm just not a good advisor here, you know how I am with sidekicks and all that."
"It's not about talent, It's never been about me thinking I'm not talented. I would say yes but I don't know if I trust him. That Janken girl seems to work him and I don't trust or like her."

"I mean..I'd say go for it if you think it'll make you feel a little better, makes me sad hearing you mope about all the time. You can do alot of good if you'd just realize how talented you are."
"A pro hero asked if I'd be interesting working with him. No teen angst here tonight." Forced laughter.

"Things escalate how exactly? You don't know shit about me, and quite frankly I'm getting a little tired of this yammering quite frankly." What a weirdo he's gotten stuck talking to, the shady threats aren't exactly putting him in a spectacular mood either. +
he laughs. long and loud and clear. " are you the dumb one? I know what you do, dante. I am * advising you before things escalate. we'll compensate you quite well, of course. buy out the bar, install someone new. claim you had enough and left, just as you said. "

"Why does the price matter? I buy expensive liquor cause it turns a profit. Either way I'd like if you saw your drunk ass out of my bar."

"I'm Canadian. Either way, doesn't really matter where I'm from.." A short pause, can't help but wonder what the hell this windbag is rambling on and on and on about. "What exactly does that mean? You some kinda..nationalist? Or just an idiot?%
" german, huh? interesting . . oh, but somewhere tropical sounds so nice . . do they allow . . oh, I shouldn't taunt. " withdrawing finger, he pouts again. he had a goal here . . oh, yes. blackmail, a message, something like that.

"I..see." If he had a nickel for every patron that's harassed him he'd close up shop and move somewhere tropical. A firm hand moves the others away from his face, stern voice growing ever rougher. "Listen pal, customer service isn't my strongsuit so I've +
the agent pouts now, index finger trailing from nose to the owner's lips. he taps the bottom one, playing with it ever so slightly. " my work waits on me .. nothing happens without me, you see. they * need me! " finger glides even lower now, landing on curve of chin.

reading is all figurative, when it comes to someone who could read minds. but hayate cares not for exactly how dante found the bottles, and moreso the * very interesting thought that floats so freely across his mindscape. " your bar, huh? " hayate laughs cheerily.

Reading was never quite his strongsuit, luckily he had quite the effective system for knowing exactly where everything was despite his blindness. Absently leaning over the bartop, mind wandering to how things were going with his presence gone off the streets. +

" talk, huh. I guess that's something I like to do. " he eyes the bottle up and down, and grins when he recognizes the familiar shimmer of jewels in his favorite brand. then again, he'd known the correct bottles were grabbed the moment dante read the labels.
