Because I just had to

[manly_spirit]

I knew you'd cave ...

[Then the grin fades ...]

BUT JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM KEEPING ME WAITING LIKE THAT, HUH!?

A real man doesn't sit around and wait for things to change if he wants to do something, he just goes out and does it!

Oh, hey, sup?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Tch. These muns take forever to get anything done.

Nothing, just having the best day ever because these two are talking.

[manly_spirit]

Tell me about it. Took this guy ages to let me out of his head.

The world may not be ready for this.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Yeah, this one's still trying to decide whether or not to send me to one of these games.

Not that I got time for that, but I can't put up with this indecisive crap.

No, but the world's just gonna have to deal with it.

[manly_spirit]

Me neither. A true man makes up his mind and follows heart. Sitting around trying to make up your mind doesn't get anything done.

Damn straight. Screw the world.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Heh.

[Sounds like this is a guy who likes his speeches. She can dig it.]

That's not just how it is for a man, but you've got it right.

Fuck yeah

[manly_spirit]

[He grins.]

So. What's your name?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Matoi Ryuko.

Yours?

[manly_spirit]

Heh ...

[You've gone and asked for it...]

The reputation of Team Dai Gurren echoes far and wide! When they talk about it's badass founder - the man of indomitable spirit and masculinity - they're talking about me! The mighty Kamina!

[Delivered completely straight, complete with pointed sunglasses, arms folded, and cape flowing in the wind behind him.]

[pitchick]

[oh hai stranger]

Heck, even I knew he'd cave. Though you probably don't want to break him just yet.

[manly_spirit]

If he's man enough to think he can capture the fighting spirit of the mighty Kamina, he can take it.

[That, or he's just gonna have to learn how.

[Then, in what's probably going to be a big surprise to Yoko, he pulls her in and kisses her.]

[pitchick]

[Okay yes. Yes that was a shock. But she goes with it because- well- not like she's going to look a gift horse in the mouth.]

I'd say, he's doing a pretty good job so far. [Dammit. You're making it difficult to tsun.]

[manly_spirit]

Oh yeah? Good.

[He makes things difficult in general if you haven't noticed.]

I promised to return that kiss ten times over. Consider this the first part.

[pitchick]

So that's when... [Your mun is a jerk Kamina.]

You're going to have to work harder than that to catch up.

[manly_spirit]

[Just a little bit.]

[Kamina raises an eyebrow and grins just a little wider.]

That so, huh?

[potato_powerhouse]

[The tiny lady puts up her dukes in a fierce fighting stance.]

Now that's the way ya do it, lad!

[manly_spirit]

Damn right, elf girl!

[wronggenresavvy]

[...You are just as loud as he remembers.

Excuse older!Rossiu's moment of staring, Kamina. Even knowing the nature of Dear Mun, it's jarring to see someone seven years after their death.]

...I do recall you being hard to say no to.

[manly_spirit]

A real man never takes no for an answer, Forehead, remember that.

Wait a second ...

[Kamina stops, his eyes narrowing as he looks Rossiu over.]

You get taller?

[wronggenresavvy]

[Yes, Kamina. He did. And also his voice got deeper and his hair got longer and his shoulders got broader. It's called hitting puberty. That was a thing that happened in the last seven years.

Also, oh God, so many flashbacks. He forgot that nickname.] ...I understand. Never take no for an answer. [Wait, why did he say that, that's a bad idea, nos are sometimes completely necessary answers.

He furrows his brow just a little, caught between a rush of nostalgia and being miffed that he's a grown man and Kamina still manages to make him feel inclined to listen, like he's only a child new to the surface world once again. Kamina, he's one of the most powerful men in the world. You shouldn't make him want to listen to you. Stop being so magnetic.

He clears his throat and straightens before folding his arms behind his back, trying to remind himself that he's not a little kid and Kamina isn't his leader anymore.] Yes, I grew since we fought together. [First things first.] What's the last thing you remember, Kamina?

[trailblazing]

Bro!

[Fresh out of the box and he's already making a big scene. Nothing's changed at all.]
