[He will. He will smack into this wall as long as it takes to get an okay...]

Is that a challenge? [NOW HE'S MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER even if he's reading that statement entirely wrong, perhaps intentionally so.] If half an hour's too much, I can do it in less time!

[deontology]

[THAT'S A CHALLENGE-- okay, no it's not, please don't take it as a challenge!!!]

The time isn't an issue. The issue is that I have already said I'm not interested in this activity.

[adornmental]

But it's not like it's something you've ever done before, yeah? Or at least not all of it at once! [Maybe Yang's dragged him out clothing shopping before, but surely no one has ever dressed him up entirely!!]

At least give it a try before you say you aren't interested.

[deontology]

[??? ????? You can't fool him, Kashuu, he's onto you!!]

You are saying that only because you wish to mess with my appearance. You are an extraordinarily stubborn person.

[adornmental]

[He's still trying hard anyway...]

I wouldn't mess with it, I would enhance it. [GOD SOUSEI. But yeah, he sure is stubborn... He's definitely heard that before, along with about 5000 different variations of "hard to handle".]

And I'm only stubborn when it comes to the important things!

[This isn't true at all, he'll be stubborn about getting 10 boxes of rice krispie treats if he's struck by the whim.]

[deontology]

[??? Okay no he's not buying this at all!!]

This is important? I fail to see how it could be considered that important.

[adornmental]

That's a personality flaw and I can't help you with it.

[He's sorry that you're so blind to the importance of appearances, Sousei......]

But I can help you with your clothes!

[deontology]

[a personality flaw-- EXCUSE YOU.]

No.

Now especially, I'm not interested.

[adornmental]

[HE ISN'T WRONG!! But he does make a very distressed noise at that...]

Ugh!! Why are you the one calling me stubborn when it's definitely you?! [He still hasn't let go of Sousei's hands either, so he's just shaking them up and down like a distressed 5 year old.]

[deontology]

I didn't suggest I wasn't stubborn.

[look, he knows that he is. he's not denying that!!!

But even so.

Can he have his hands back now... he's just...lightly trying to retrieve them...]

That doesn't make you any less so.

[adornmental]

[No... These hands are his now!! He'll let them go eventually, but for now he's just holding onto them so that when he waves his arms around emphatically, Sousei's stuck being dragged along for the ride.]

Less than you, anyway! [HUFFS...] ...Will you at least consider it?

[deontology]

No.

[Oh.

Harsh. Also Sousei's going to just...try to tug his hands away more thoroughly now.]

I won't be humoring you in that. [That's what you think, Sousei.]

[adornmental]

[He's got the vice grip that could be expected of something that isn't actually human...

But he's also got the attitude of a bratty kid, so after a few seconds, he'll release Sousei's hands himself.]

Whatever! If you're gonna be boring, fine. [There's something in his tone that actually sounds genuinely agitated, but it's glossed over with an airy sigh and a dismissive wave. THIS BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET, SOUSEI... He's just taking a breather because he's got a bad temper...]

I totally lost my rhythm, so I'm going back before it gets any colder.

[deontology]

[PHEW...THANK GOD... saved by the childish temper of a sword.

Sousei just arches an eyebrow, watching him go, and doesn't really feel the need to say much to that, honestly. He can be a rude punk too sometimes--so instead he turns on his heel and heads back inside himself.

The clash of the stubborn ones, round 2: end.]
