[...Honestly, this entire situation is so dumb. Sousei analyzes it for a moment, well aware that Souji is watching, and for a moment he just draws in a mostly-silent breath of aggravation (though from someone like him, that may as well be an irritated exclamation from anyone else).
And then he decides what to do, and it is just as ridiculous as the rest of the situation.
If nothing else, he is glad for the fact that it's a branch that's clutching to his wrist so tightly--it means that it's strong enough to bear the weight of the wine glass that he sets on it neatly.
For just a brief moment. And then in one neat movement, he draws his sword with his now freed hand and severs the branch from his wrist--and neatly reaches out to grab the wine glass before it falls from the no longer taut branch.
...A pause. He spilled some wine on his hand.... it gets a somewhat annoyed glance before he shakes his head and turns away, easily walking a few paces away from that tree to make sure it doesn't happen again.]
[souji isn't really too surprised at sousei's capabilities; he's already proven himself to be reasonable and skilled more than once, after all. still, that doesn't make it any less amusing (or even impressive) how he chooses to handle it. the motions are quick and swift, enough so that even the glass manages to stay in tact—and he knows that not many people would be able to pull a move like that off.
which is why sousei manages to earn something of a slow clap from souji... which could probably be perceived as a bit sarcastic, but it's not his intent. or, it's not entirely his intent, but souji will always be a shit about things.]
Not bad, not bad. Still, it would have been more fun to see what would have happened the other way. [souji, no.]
Still, Sousei can't say he wasn't expecting a response like that, honestly. Souji just seems like that type of person--difficult, and amused at the worst of times. So even as he shakes wine from his fingers with vague irritation, Sousei simply sheathes his sword and arches an eyebrow at his unexpected company.]
I'm not interested in what would have been more fun, simply in what was most efficient.
[Which...granted, his way wasn't the most efficient either, but whatever, don't bring that up!!!]
