[canon is Gin to Kin]

[silvery]

So I'm a "con-man"... I'd say that you do me a disservice, but I can hardly deny it. I'm a lying, cheating bastard with no morals and a black heart, aren't I? At least, that's what you'd like me to say.

But you of all people should know that I never talk about myself. Why ruin the mystery of the Silver King? Knowledge is, as they say, power, and it's so very gratifying to be the one left holding all the cards.

I will grant you that I'm a bastard, though.

[It's that intensity that catches him off guard. He's right- Morita knows that first hand. Before he met Ginji, he was stagnating in his own state of inaction, drifting from day to day with no meaning or conviction. He wasn't really living at all.

But at the same time...

Morita gives him another smile.]

Maybe for someone as super-human as you, Gin-san.

[This, at least, was anticipated- this modesty. Or rather, this lack of confidence, since modesty implies an understanding of one's abilities.]

I wouldn't pick anyone less than an equal to be my partner.

You must be seeing something in me that I haven't. [he laughs awkwardly] Maybe one day you'll bring it out properly.

Clearly. [Ginji may be smiling, but he isn't laughing along with Morita. He seems to be watching the man closely.] I wonder if you can't bring it out of yourself.
