Annoyed muse is annoyed

[blond_smartass]

So let me get this straight-

A person shows up, offers you to join whatever-that-place-is and you are eagerly accepting it? Just like that!?

You didn't talk to me in months! Why would I wanna go do something you want NOW? Screw. You. I don't care WHO is there, I ain't your "YES" man.

[...]

No.. NO. NO! Stop dragging me! I said NO DAMMIT!

[Manly screech-]

HOPEFULLY NOT!

I-I think it's a, ah, dressing room or something?

[like_a_dragon]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??

DID YOU JUST SCREAM LIKE A GIRL!?

[...he probably scared her]

[blond_smartass]

I DID NOT!

[Yes he did.]

Idon'thandleGhostsWell.

[like_a_dragon]

What kind of boy are you?!

[Slightly pissed but... it's not like she CAN'T relate. She's mostly just irked that he freaked her out a bit.]

[blond_smartass]

I just don't like ghosts! Or spirits! Or souls being taken! Had enough trouble with them for a lifetime.

[No more shadow games ktnx]

[like_a_dragon]

Okay, okay. I'm... I'm sorry. I'll try not to bring it up.

[And that is 100% authentic.]

[blond_smartass]

[Waves around frantically-]

It's okay! Really! I should.. learn to handle it better.

[Jou you made girl apologize. Shame on you.]

[like_a_dragon]

Hey, it's okay. I've got some stuff that freak me out. I know how it can be. Ghost can be scary, too. Because.

You know, they're all... airy. And you can't hurt them and stuff.

Ahaha...

[Chie, what are you saying?]

[blond_smartass]

[The girl understands him! He's so elated he could hug her!]

I know right!? And you can't do anything to them while they can hurt you! And they go through things and haunt you!

[like_a_dragon]

But there's no way ghosts can be real, right? Y-Yeah! They're just stories that people say to freak people out!

[This is no way to own that display of confidence.]

[blond_smartass]

Y-Yeah! That's right! Ghosts are not real!

[His own voice is not filled with confidence either..]

[like_a_dragon]

Y-You know...

...you don't sound all that confident about that...

[Said the pot to the kettle.]

[blond_smartass]

You... you don't sound so sure either...

[Precisely.]

[like_a_dragon]

S-Shut up!!

[blond_smartass]

Y-You shut up!

[A pause. Then he offers her a hand-]

H-How about we make a pact to destroy ghosts together? Two are stronger than one, after all.

[like_a_dragon]

Mmm... [her pride demands that she makes this tough, but the boy does make sense.]

Chie Satonaka.

[she offers without extending a hand to shake]

[blond_smartass]

[Accepts hand for short handshake.]

Jounouchi Katsuya. Pleased to meet you.

[like_a_dragon]

[She raises her hand quickly and thumbs her nose.]

Glad you think so!

[She said with her usual cheek. Though, this time her grin betrays the authenticity of her statement.]
