[ Hanzo is not the kind of man that accepts things lightly and being checked over and introduced to some foreign place does not sit well with him. He is uncomfortable, he is unhappy and, more importantly, he is frustrated by what he has found by reading as much as possible on these devices. There has been mention of himself and, at the same time, mention of his brother.

His brother who is not listed, but he cannot run the risk.

The fear is a slight chill down his spine, something that prickles and makes his arm ache ever so slightly. ]

Genji Shimada. Is he present.

[ It's a question, really, but he's not really thinking straight right now. In fact, he's thinking that sitting in a corner with his flask of sake and his thoughts might end up being far more productive. ]

Comments

[eruit]

Yes, but they are not nonsensical nor are they distracting.

[flashbanging]

[ He just shakes his head. ]

Look. Point is, Genji ain't here.

[eruit]

[ There's a long, drawn out silence between McCree's reply and Hanzo's, but he gets there in the end. ]

You have my thanks.

[flashbanging]

Mind tellin' me who wants to know?

[ Though he's already got an inkling. Hanzo was here before, too, after all. ]

[eruit]

I do mind. It is not important if he is not here.

[flashbanging]

[ Why is everybody from his world so goddamn coy. It's tiresome. ]

Yeah, okay. Here's another tip: you spent some time here, too, Shimada.

[eruit]

[ Shit. ]

Why ask questions if you know who I am?

[flashbanging]

It was an educated guess. Thanks for confirmin' it, though.

[ Hat tip. ]

[eruit]

There is no point hiding when you are caught.

[ This is a disaster. ]

[flashbanging]

Wise thinkin', sweetheart.

[ Mmmhmm. ]

[eruit]

Sweetheart.

[ WHO IS THIS MAN ]

[flashbanging]

Don't got a habit of stutterin'.

[ first name greatest, last name ever ]

[eruit]

I am not your sweetheart.

[flashbanging]

Ain't supposin' so. Just a casual form of address.

[ It's hard being the only country boy in this part of the galaxy. ]

[eruit]

You should not be so informal with those that you do not know.

[flashbanging]

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

[ He shrugs. ]

'Sides, we got to know each other a little bit. Not too much, but a little.

[eruit]

[ This is, officially, one of the most confusing encounters he's had in his life. ]

And you wish to continue that association?

[flashbanging]

Sure. I like making friends.

[ Granted, Hanzo did not exactly leave as his friend. But they were getting there--to his mind, anyway. ]

[eruit]

[ He really doesn't know what to say. He's not been around anyone that's wanted to be his friend for a long time and it's... startling. Just a little. ]

I see.

[ A reply that took about four minutes longer than it needed. ]

[flashbanging]

[ Yikes. Well, McCree stays just as apparently cheerful as ever. ]

Got a problem?

[eruit]

No. There is no problem.

[ He'll just have to hide from this strange man for as long as possible. ]

[flashbanging]

That's settled, then.

[ GOOD LUCK W/ THAT ]

[eruit]

[ What do you do in this situation???? ]

You knew me. I do not remember. What did you and I talk about?

[ Subject change AND info gathering. ]

[flashbanging]

Your brother came up plenty.

[ That's how he knew it was you, bud.

He pauses, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

You taught me a bit about archery, too.

[eruit]

Have you continued to practice?

[ Avoiding the Genji bomb seems easier for now. ]
