If she was irritated before, now she's actually offended. Her eyes narrow as her posture straightens. The idea of being her to play around is laughable - Lili hasn't had time to play for a single day in her life.]
Do you think me so foolish? You insult me even still.
[Foolish. Immature. Idiotic. God, Souji.]
I obviously need to get stronger in a hostile environment such as this. It's unbearably easy to grow weary of being protected, you know.
[ oh, she's mad. good, he meant to make her mad. like he means to make everyone ever mad.... ]
You do seem like the type who's always protected by others.
[ He can imagine how tiring it must be, even if he's never actually experienced those feelings himself. He only picked up the sword out of a sincere desire to get back at those who mistreated him, then later to protect Kondou-san. Never because he was tired of people trying to protect him. ]
Who's teaching you? [ he's kind of curious. ] It's not one of those [ npcs ] incompetent instructors from the colony, is it?
Lili's about to steel herself, ready for more derisive comments like that because it's not unlike the games of politics that she would have to play at home. When people would so carelessly insult her with such simple statements--
But nah. Souji has to say that and she's immediately bristling. Insults to herself can be tolerated to a degree but...]
Only to immediately strike down the notion that he should even be put on the same level as anyone incompetent. I have better judgment in my instructors than that.
[Actually she had no real deliberating process???? Kashuu was just the first person she asked.
In other words, sparring with you would be a waste of time.
[ it’s hard to tell whether or not Souji’s serious about that, whether he actually entertained the idea for more than few seconds in his head. He likes sparring people just as much as the next Shinsengumi member, but... Lili's not exactly his idea of what a challenging opponent would look like. ]
She can tell when she's being insulted and it doesn't sit well with her even though he's probably right. And yet the words that come out of her mouth are as indignant as ever.]
Do you go out of your way to insult me? What were you expecting?

Don't you dare call Kashuu incompetent!
[Lili plz.]

I only asked if someone incompetent was teaching you. [ h e h ] The one who mentioned Kashuu was you.

[ He believes in Lili very much. ]
So I guess the real question here would be whether or not you're any good with the sword.
no subject
Except that's
well, that's a lie]
.... Well, I'm still learning obviously, but it's not like I'm shirking my practice at all!
[so maybe good for her skill level??]
