[Just a dismissive wave of the hand.]

I might not be a fist fighter, but I do know a few things. [Granted, most of his more advanced martial arts techniques involves having a blade in each hand, but he could his own.

Probably.

The fact that he's injured and will have an arm stuck in a cast for another three weeks and then ribs on the mend for a few more on top of it... Nevermind the fact that he'd push himself even if all limbs were broken. So he's not a sitting duck, but he is a half-lame one right now.]

[capsulecorps]

Do you want to know more than a few things?

[ He tilts his head rather curiously. An offer to teach the daemon some hand-to-hand combat and even martial arts? Well, that could very well be what he's placing on the table. ]

Once you're in a little better shape I mean.

[rokubro]

[Just a slight arch of the brow.

...Hm...]

Suppose it can't hurt. [Ever on the quest to grow stronger, having more skills and assets is always a boon. Won't be his favorite, but if he can later adapt them for swords...

And then a grin.] Which reminds me—do I need to still teach you about the sword or think you can impress me this time?

[capsulecorps]

Guess you'll just have to find out, won't you?

[ And he might give a grin right back at that. He may not be a brat anymore or have as much cockiness as he did back then, but there's still a touch that shines through. He is a Saiyan after all, even if half. ]

Shaarnath sound good when you're feeling better?

[rokubro]

Assuming the city even lets me in.

[....That is a legitimately good question HUH.]

Then again, guess I could always sneak in if I have to.

[Already marked as a criminal, what's one more bad deed?]

[capsulecorps]

[ With Shaarnath being the territory of Thras, he hums a little as fingers touch at his chin in contemplation. ]

Pretty much anywhere is going to be a bad location unless it's out in the wilderness somewhere.

[ A beat. ]

How about you let me know when you're feeling up to it and we'll figure out a meeting place?

[rokubro]

Sounds good to me. And who knows, maybe there'll been an attitude shift by then.

[Which would be nice, really. Won't help his own personal status, but might make things a little easier all around.]

[capsulecorps]

[ There's a hopeful look on his face before he glances down to the pebble he still holds in his one hand, dangling from his fingers. ]

Guess I should get going then.

[ He had wanted to see that the daemon was still here and, seeing that he is, he figures he probably needs the rest... or maybe he's had too much and is starting to go bananas. Either way, Trunks smiles a little before he stops near the foot of the bed. ]

You know... I still think what you did was really stupid, that much hasn't changed. But I'm still glad you're here.

[rokubro]

[There was a point in time where he tossed up whatever "pointy" object he could at the ceiling to see what stuck. They stopped giving him plastic forks and now he's stuck with food that can only be eaten by spoons.

He's so bored Trunks you're old enough now, next time bring some dirty magazines and alcohol—

ANYWAY, he just laughs and waves him off.]

Hey, I'm a daemon. Doing stupid things is what we do. [And then a lighter grin.] But glad to see you came back. Who knows, if you just left and with knowing your fate, maybe I'd be more with Velvet and might try again.

[Kidding.

...Kind of.]

[capsulecorps]

[ There's something in those blue eyes of his that is holding something back, hiding it carefully behind a gentle care for the daemon before he smiles a little; maybe it's best he doesn't tell him what's happening... or what's going to happen. ]

I guess I'd just have to stop you then, wouldn't I?

[ Because if it came down to it, he would. He wouldn't kill Rokurou and he would be angry at him again, but he would do whatever it takes to stop him. ]

Stay outta trouble.

[ To which he begins to leave except, with a smile- ]

Can't get that drink from you if you don't.

[ He hasn't forgotten. ]

[rokubro]

[He just laughs.]

Don't worry, I'm just kidding. And I'll be on my best behavior and we can get that drink once I'm out.

[...Somehow. Probably will just have to use his own stash if the airship is safe, otherwise will have to get creative seedy bars. And next time he'll be asking the important questions about Trunks's life. Like if he has a girlfriend and stuff. Totally important.]
