on long absences

[foxhound]

[He'd have a lot more to say after all this time, but Snake's always been a man of few words, and it really comes down to this:]

Been a while. Just when I thought I'd retired again. Never lasts, huh?

[You mean handsomely identiOW!]

[Pain crashes through his face as Liquid is knocked back a step]

There's the hot-blooded bastard I know! But you didn't answer my question! Poor manners, dear Brother!

[So he'll kick you in the head.]

[foxhound]

[Yeah, no, he means irritating.]

I don't have to answer to you.

[Nothing much to say on the topic, anyway, but it's easier to be an ass to Liquid than it is to just answer the damn question. A kick in the head is small price to pay.]

[whyamisobritish]

[Smiling at the satisfaction of the impact]

Yes you do.

[This is his way of saying it's good to see you.]
