[masakados]

[Oh? More sparring offers...]

Soon I'm gonna have more partners than I can count. [His lips twist in amusement, though, and he flaps one of his hands.] But yeah, why not. I'll spar with you, I've got the time.

[theshiningone]

Awesome! I'll come tango with you in the dojo place that you-- [Wait, now that he thought about it...]

Um... Is there a dojo here? Where do all the brawlers come to hang out? A Fight Club that we're not allowed to talk about?

[masakados]

If there was a Fight Club I wouldn't be able to tell you about it. [Gravely...

But then, with a grin:] I usually train away from things 'cause my sparring gets kind of... explosive. But there is a big gym, with a dojo in it.

[theshiningone]

[He's looking all sparkly eyed now.]

Whooooooa! Seriously?! I wanna check that out! And your way sounds really fun too. [A beat.] Y'know what, I'm gonna do both things.

[There was literally no stopping Hiro whenever he got energetic about something.]

[masakados]

[Naoki grins.] Try to space 'em out, do 'em on two different days at least.

And if you wanna come train with me in my spot, great, there'll be explosions. If not, I'll hold back at the dojo.

[theshiningone]

O-Oh, yeah... Spacing out is a thing. I'll remember that. [HIRO...]

But I can honestly fight you in both places! Dojos for the traditional flavors and when I'm in the mood to be a cool guy who doesn't run from an explosion.

[masakados]

Don't worry, at least it'll be fire instead of the big explosions like in movies.

[He says, as though it's COMPLETELY REASSURING... But his grin says he knows exactly what he's saying and how it could be taken.]

[theshiningone]

Ah... You're a fire user, huh? Just you know, I like my skin to be well done and not charbroiled. Helps for working out a tan.

[If Naoki's being in good humor about it, then Hiro was going to raise up the humor to eleven and fly straight into the moon.]

[masakados]

I'll keep my fireballs at a nice heat for you then. Maybe cool you off with a blast of wind after.

[So yes, not limited to just fire, but he doesn't go into too much depth on his abilities on a day-to-day basis.]

[theshiningone]

Oooh... So you've got wind too? You can even equal as a blow dryer!

[Despite his carefree nature, he was pretty perceptive. So he could take in the small hints. Hiro was glad that he was being a good sport about this instead of being, well, overly paranoid.]

[masakados]

Yep. You could say I've got the skills to be many a mundane household tool.

[Naoki nods seriously... isn't he useful? As a heater, too, but we don't talk about that one.]

[theshiningone]

I can relate! Though... [He tentatively looks at his hand.] Sometimes, I feel like a freakin' tank. Power is power, but it all depends on how you use it.

[masakados]

[Naoki smiles wryly, looking down at his own hands. He curls tattooed fingers where they're resting.]

Yeah. There's not much good to it if you can't use it to protect the things you want to.
