Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. On one hand, I can kill a person as much as I like. On the other, it seems like our business would lose it's luster with the most exciting part of it all removed.

[Her lips tighten at his question. It was humiliating enough to deal with, as it was, and she was not about to start confiding on the brother of the person who turned her down.]

It's-- I was distracted, okay! Uh... that cat of his kept me busy, I guess!

Isn't any point in it if can't get that thrill.

[ Mild shame to have to agree with her, but he can't doubt that it'd lose its luster. And it isn't like the contract would pay him double or however many times it takes to finally put the target out. ]

I can't believe you. But that's what one gets when they choose Travis as master.

I think that goes for most of us.

[Even if her main objective was to find her father's killer, there was still that bloodthirsty part of her attached to the battling.

And as much as his second remarks irritate her, she had at least grown in the last three years to at least somewhat keep her cool. But even if she wasn't snapping back at him, Shinobu is noticeably looking a little more on edge.]

How does that have anything to do with where I pledge my loyalty to?

[But it's cool, it's cool. Because she's just going to insult you back.] But then I guess you wouldn't know anything about people pledging their loyalty to you, would you? The only person who could even put up with you for very long was someone just as intolerable to hang around. And not even that worked out.

I just don't go all weak in the knees for every idiot that happens by my path.

And I'd watch how ye stalk about her. Ex-wife or no, I still am obligated to defend her honor.

What kind of a girl do you think I am? If I went "weak in the knees" for everyone I met... ugh.

[The last person -- people? -- she fought was New Destroyman. Ew, no thanks.]

And hey, you started it first! Not that you have to worry about it, because as I told her, she's not worth the stain on my blade.

The kind that gets charmed by stupid.

[ 'Cause seriously, Travis. SMH. ]

And that's not quite what you should be worried about. Killin' her, I mean.

He is pretty stupid, I'll give you that.

[She huffs a sigh because really, she was almost embarrassed for herself, even if there were a lot of good reasons why she grew to admire her former opponent.]

But what should I be worried about? Are you going to kill me for making fun of your ex-wife?

[Shinobu only smirks, because this sure is sounding like a challenge to her.]

How sad, she still has you whipped.

[ He gives her a look of 'he's more than that', but lets it go. Eh, is he gonna kill her over Slyvia? Guess the first still burns a bit hot for her, even after these years. Ah, well. ]

Kill you over her? Probably not. Have a bit of a fight, probably. Like I said... ex-wife or not, I still feel obligated to defend her honor.

Now I'm starting to think that maybe you just want a reason to get in a fight with me.

[She exaggerates a shrug, still with a smug smile on her expression.]

Not that I can blame anyone as blood thirsty as us.

I'll take you on anytime, anywhere.

'Course the question now becomes, if we did... who'd survive?

[ And now he has to sigh, and take a step back from his anger -- was it really anger? Probably not. -- of before.]

We're both fan favorites, after all. It's why one of us is unconscious or indisposed while the other's about... seems the game's aware we'd eventually fight. Just how we are, as you say.

Would Travis's obnoxious good luck save ye in the end? Or would it save me? Well, that's something that I can't accept.

What if we wind up fighting in the next game? If the next game ever comes out? I never did find out who killed my father. [Her eyes narrow accusingly, though she still continues smirking.] Maybe it was you?

[Shinobu then sighs, wiping away any expression she had along with it.] But we can only speculate, for now.

Let's face it, you're way more popular than I am, but my story is unfinished... hard to say which one of us would come out alive.

Pretty sure the only thing that could stop us from killing each each is master himself. And even then, it would take a lot to stop me from fighting.

Maybe it was. But there's plotholes that will never be filled for characters like us, I'm thinkin'. How did I even get to Ireland, for sample.

Well, didn't want to make you feel bad. [ This said with a sardonic tone, 'cause yes, he is a lot more popular, thank you. ]

Same here. I'm not about to let my baby brother dictate the fights I'll be part of.

From the sounds of it, it's probably better that you were in Ireland, huh? Saved yourself from a whole lot of angst that comes with typically being associated with this game.

[She rolls her eyes over the remark about fans, but doesn't say anything about it.]

Don't worry, if you and me ever fight, nothing's going to stop me. [Except maybe another suplex, but shh.]

Think they probably didn't want me to have a depressingly obvious past with some depressingly obvious shit goin' on. So I am quite grateful to be way the bloody hell away from all that.

Fair enough. Fighting here will do nothin'... so let's wait and see what the future holds.
