What part of "this is a bad idea" did you not understand?

Never believe a man can tell a joke until you hear him tell it! [That's a Shiba clan traditional saying, starting right now. Nevermind that he didn't really say a joke, it's the thought that matters.]

You're the one that brought her up. [And now, sulking.] And besides, where one of you is, the other usually ain't far behind.

I didn't tell a joke.

[And then he's silent for a moment. When he speaks, it's deceptively nonchalant.] That's usually the case.

[shibam]

But you took a baby step toward doing it!

[It was funny making him think Matsumoto was around, even Isshin can agree with that.]

She's probably just hanging back so we can have some male bonding time. Very thoughtful of her.

[He shakes his head once, because, really. He could tell a joke if he wanted to.]

No, if she was here, she would be in the middle of this.

[Good, Toushirou. Believe in you who believes in you, in your ability to tell a joke.]

Really? You think? [This requires manly thought...] Maybe so. Hey! Matsumoto! If you're here, come on out!

[One more try to find her can't hurt!]
