[He can only imagine what it did -- he did a bug number on him when he first tried fighting him. Though back then, he'd fought him alone...]
I can see the point. In our line of work, fashion is not as important as practicality.
[He lets out a 'hmm' to himself.]
I guess that's why even the female navigators don't really wear skirts. It could get caught in openings or make them trip; really, it's a blatant work hazard.
[That loud slam? Yeah, that was his mun headdesking at him.]
Exactly! That's right! Yet that Kiddo had the nerve to treat me like I'm not going back out there to fight again. As if that's going to happen any time soon.
[Not when X is out there sticking his neck out. Plus she can't turn a blind-eye anymore. Not after all they've been through.]
[He's glad she's smiling, though for the life of him he can't make the connection. X was never exactly privy to peoples' feelings for him, rather focusing on taking care of others instead.]
Well, it's just how he--we--are. If I had my way, there would never be a reason for anyone to fight, and we could all live safely and happily together.
[Yeeeah, he isn't making the connection. Though the nickname perks him up a bit.]
"Meddlesome Poseidon", huh? I'll have to use that one sometime. But if you're sure you're all right, I'll trust you.
[He says that, but really, he's X. He's the kind of person who would protect everyone in the world if he could.]
I've got full confidence that day will come, what with you on the case.
[It's okay if X is all business and no play. She will just quietly fangirl about him in the privacy of her room.]
Sure, why not. It suits you Kiddo. Also do me a favor and take good care of yourself. Not that you need me saying it, but still. If you're going to be concerned about me, you better know how to take care of yourself too.
[Geez, mister business as always, X. Although his response is a relief to hear given how ...badly X acted before she left with her crew. He couldn't even reassure her he'd come back alive.]
I know you can't avoid it being a Hunter and all, but believe you and me! I'll be mad at you if you get yourself blown up!

[Oh, man, X. Don't say crap like that so carelessly.]
I doubt that I--erh, he--meant to offend you or anything.
[He sighs, giving her a worried look.]
Just...if you have to fight, be careful, okay? I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but it's always a good idea to take extra precautions.

[NOPE NOPE go away obvious feelings for X. Although she can't help but look a little happy.]
That does sound like him. He doesn't really like anyone close to him getting hurt.
[She'll just grin in response to his obvious look of worry.]
Don't worry about me, X. Let's just say I got a meddlesome Poseidon watching over me.
[...her nicknames for X. What.]

He nods, his expression growing more like his 'business face', though he at least has that friendliness to it.]
I will, don't worry. I'm no use to anyone if I end up injured all the time.
[Not that he doesn't throw himself into attacks and pretty much play hero anyway.]
