[It is pretty annoying...but even Souji can't meet the ultimate annoyance that is Tenka and a pair of chopsticks. Sousei inspects him thoughtfully for a moment, before huffing a breath out.]
I would toss you this glass, but I imagine it would not bother you if it broke.
[he has better manners than that, though; even if this is a Cerealia party, the host is one of them, and he won't be a poor party guest.]
Which would defeat the purpose of my standing here.
[see his problem..... but nor is he going to ask for help, because he has his pride.]
[Oh my god Cashew do not show up at his door to ask for a dance-- except do.
Also he can totally see that that's a jab right there, but even so, his resolve is wavering a little, if only because his only reason for not wanting to dance is literally "i don't want to". Meanwhile here's Kashuu with a power point presentation on why he should.]
... Is that so.
[...]
And if I dance with you, you will then leave me alone, correct?
[Tree fights are clearly a common thing...very good for the environemtn.
Either way, Sousei arches an eyebrow at Jude slowly. And then for a moment his pride wars with his desire to not break the glass and to be a good party guest.
... ... ... He offers Jude the glass.]
Your help is appreciated.
[Because as soon as Jude has taken the glass, with his hand freed up, Sousei easily flicks his sword out of his sheath, neatly severing the tree branches from his wrist and stepping back in one smooth movement.]
[Slowly, he takes the glass, arching an eyebrow slowly in response to that. That's...rather enthusiastic and strange, yes. He wasn't expecting it at all.
... ... ...]
I don't believe you owe me any thanks.
[The compliment was odd too--his skills are....solid, he thinks, but, even so--]
[Well, that's harmless and easy. She's young, but she figured out exactly what would resolve the issue immediately, so that's pretty good. He nods to her, and offers her the drink, and tries really hard to ignore her giggling.
And as soon as she takes it, it's the work of a moment for him to neatly sever the branch from his wrist with a flick of his sword.
He sheathes it again and turns to her, and a little longsufferingly--]
I am glad you enjoyed the show, if nothing else. Thank you for your assistance.
[ding dong who is it NOT SOMEONE USEFUL, JUST CASHEW COMING TO ASK FOR A DANCE AT 11PM.
That gets him to laugh, though... This guy!! What a blunt butthead. Kashuu kind of likes him, but it's not super hard to get Kashuu to like anyone who doesn't try chucking him out the door immediately. Welcome to the fold, Sousei...]
[he didn't really want to get welcomed into this sword society, okay......
And he's still eyeing this hand with frank suspicion, because he still doesn't want this...but after a moment, he arches an eyebrow, sighs, and walks right on past Kashuu towards the dance floor.
Stop making him the swooning maiden in this scenario, he's not having any of it.]
