You say that like I'm not already home and merely in a different room at the moment. :)

Nothing happened, nothing to worry about in the slightest. Merely contemplated picking up on a bounty of sorts that was offered since it's been quite a bit since I've been able to stretch my muscles in that particular regard.

[intercalaryninja]

???

Wait then why not just ask me in person? I am in the forge as usual.

Bounty? Who?

[speedweed]

Because you're probably busy???

[Wait.]

... And yet this also occupies your time, so I don't think I quite thought that through as well as I hoped.

No one particularly important, just an obnoxious human.

[Lie. Lie and diminish the danger.]

[intercalaryninja]

Come down here. It will be less distracting for me if you do so. Easier to talk instead of looking over my laptop and typing with my extra set of hands.

Wait what? You said Reira-dono and Javert were worried you were not armed enough? Which human is this that a monster that is armed cannot take them?

[speedweed]

Fine, fine. Give me about five minutes to finish up here.

[Don't ask. Though he is true to his word about that five minutes and just going to casually lean against the wall to stay out of Tsukikage's way for now.]

He doesn't have a name that anyone's aware of, so I certainly can't give you that. Though I've certainly been in far more life-or-death situations in my relatively short lifespan than most and come out of them fine enough.

[Tsukikage is going to finish the more intensive and time-sensitive parts of his latest forging project while Speedwagon is getting ready and will be just dipping the sword in water when Speedwagon appears. He gives a thin frown.]

And what did our nameless local do to get himself a bounty?

[speedweed]

[Don't frown at him, he knows this is probably a mistake to have even said anything about any of this.]

Being a monster hunter, evidently. For as much of a lunatic as it makes them.

[intercalaryninja]

[Tsukikage's frown deepens further.]

A monster hunter? And one of somewhat sufficient skill? [His mind immediately flashes to the Bloody Bones and he balls a fist. He swallows roughly, doing remarkably well to hide his panic.] The fact they are alive for long enough to get notoriety means they are not to be trifled with, Speedwagon. Especially if you need to 'stretch those muscles.'

[speedweed]

[Oh boy, it's difficult for him to not notice every little physical movement that shows he probably shouldn't have even started talking about this whole thing. He wasn't really, probably, going to even find anything and it had been more of a tracking mission more than actually bringing the man in. At the very bare minimum.

A slow sigh slips out of him as his posture goes from fairly guarded to more relaxed, knowing this is probably not the best hill to die on, currently.]

I would say to keep in mind that before even arriving here I was against much more dangerous forces than that, but I know that would also be a rather fruitless argument. Though, if it soothes any ruffled feathers, the intent was to track him first and then determine the scenario from there. [He... at least is very much built for tracking people like this.] I may be reckless at times, but I'm certainly not going to through myself into a fight like that without at least getting information.

[intercalaryninja]

[Good he knows it would be a fruitless argument because Tsukikage was ready to argue with him about it. He listens to what Speedwagon has to say and he puts what's in his hands down.]

... I suppose. That makes more sense. [But that surely implies he intends on fighting this hunter later on.] I am still concerned. From what I know of Javert, he usually does not throw caution at whoever he is tracking. And naturally if Reira-dono is worried, I am too. Just... be careful, okay? Even if you are not looking for a confrontation, the hunter may be.
