Talk About A Hothead

[tiger_ken]

So, there was a fight. Specifically, between the newly arrived Yuuya, and the slightly less newly arrived Ken. Whilst the exact source and reasoning behind the conflict is still sketchy at best, pretty much every witness has confirmed that it was Ken who ultimately threw the first punch. His injuries are also the lighter of the two - he got by mostly with some severe bruises, maybe slight bits of blood loss, but nothing too bad. Right now, he's resting in Alhambra's medical room, probably in need of something to wake him up...

Though if you prefer to wait, you can instead find him cuffed and in a cell in the Sakihama base, after he has waken up and shown he'll shrug off most of his injuries. He looks... drained, physically speaking, and is mostly taking to relaxing against the wall as he sits on the bed. Occasionally, he flings his hands forward, as if trying to do something with such a strange manner of pose, but nothing comes, and he just gives dejected sighs. The guards'll let you in if you ask nicely, and aren't the same dude who pissed him off to begin with.

The Hunt has gone on for some time she has not yet found Ken until this very moment. Ken would find the looming form of Raquel out side his cell and she may not be alone. She'd got past the guards as she had no intent to hurt him well physically.

"So Ken what is this I ehar about you putting spells on a friend of mine....?"

[Ken raises his head, blinks once, and then...]

Dunno what you're talking about. I'm not a wizard.

"Kaname says you did something to her during the rescue mission."

Her arms are folded and he's totally glaring at this point.

Re: [2]

[tiger_ken]

Please. Considering she was half naked, if had done anything to her, it wouldn't have been a spell.

[Why, his face seems like a perfect target right now...]

Re: [2]

[fire_dancer]

Raquel does not know this Kaname did not mention her clothed status during their talk.

"Uhuh, you seem to like lurking about barely clothed women so you also managed to land yourself in the brig to boot I see."

Ken's face is indeed tempting to punch but she does however restrain herself for now.

[Ken is roused by the feeling of a cold bottle on the side of his neck and sees one of the mechanics sitting by the side of his bed with a pair of bottles in his hands]

Hey, figured you could use a bit of an explanation and a pick me up.

[With that he helps Ken sit up and, after opening it, passes a bottle of root beer to him.]

After that beating it looked like you could use a drink but you look a little young for me to offer the real thing to. [He says as he takes a pull from his bottle] Look you kinda hit Yuuya in an odd way there buddy. I've known him for a long time now and he's got a lot of pride and a chip on his shoulder which I'm beginning to think is a Japanese tradition because it seems both you and Lt. Takamura are the same way. I'll admit that you were wrong for throwing that punch but if it went much further Yuuya was probably going to do the same thing so I wanted to ask you to forgive him for that. He doesn't know I'm here and would tear into me if he found out but he's a friend and this is my way of worrying about him.

Also I can't keep you out of a cell for the brawling but Lt. Takamura did ask me for a report and it seems like she's going to pull a few strings to keep it to two or three days at most.

Eeeeeee-!

[Ken is up with a jolt, before being helpfully better eased into things...]

2/2

[tiger_ken]

[And then all he can do is sit back and listen. But...]

If you're that concerned for him, teach him to be less of a bigot. He's in Japan.

[Ken struggles a bit to take a drink, but he manages it... yet looks a little down as he pauses to consider what the other lad had said. It... wasn't exactly impossible to understand...]

[ugyuuya]

You're evaluation is correct for when he's in Sakihama and Yuuya knows well enough to not go stepping on toes there but you caught him here in Alhambra right after he got out of a fight with Lt. Takamura and continued to provoke him. I'm not going to say what he did is right but you weren't exactly being particularly diplomatic yourself. Yuuya may be prideful and hardheaded but you just saw the worst side of that in a bad situation so don't write him off too early is all I'm going to ask.

[With that you hear the noise of the door opening and the guard returning.]

Well I think time's up here, I just wanted to be sure that you understood a little better. I think once you've had a bit longer to think about it and calm down you'll begin to understand, you didn't seem to be that different when you were yelling at each other.

[With that Vincent leaves the infirmary with a wave over his shoulder.]

[tiger_ken]

...Tch.

[Ken looks away when the difference of bases is pointed out to him. Indeed, he seems to deflate and remain silent as Vincent finishes speaking, When he leaves, Ken can't help but tighten his fists, but does nothing because, well, armed guard and all that.]

If that asshole has a better side, I'd sure as hell like to see it...

[Oh dear, Ken. Look who's come to visit you.]

I heard you got in a fight with one of the new arrivals. Also heard you say some peculiar things while you were trading blows.

Re: 2

[tiger_ken]

He was a racist bastard who deserved every word.

[The way he averts his gaze, even he knows that its not quite what Mizuki meant.]

[empress_without_a_throne]

I was going to tackle another subject first but if you're bringing that up, congratulations. You've forced my hand.

[And with that she leans in close.]

If you're going to get into fights with every schoolyard bully spewing crap, you're going to just be making yourself and Solaris as a whole look worse.

[tiger_ken]

Ah yes, 'schoolyard bully'. The perfect material for test pilots and soldiers. Truly, it'll be our reputation that suffers if such gets out.

[empress_without_a_throne]

It will when you throw the first punch!

[Leos is slooowly going to peek over the side of the bed and put a pudding cup onto the side table. Then he's going to slowly push it to Ken.]

Friiiieeeendshiiiip Puddiiiiiing~

Re: 1)

[tiger_ken]

[...at first, there is no visible response from Ken at the confectionary offering. But, as it drifts closer and closer, his fingers rise... and then snatch it!]

[break_the_nine]

Yaaaaay!

[Yeah Leos is actually really happy about this.]

[tiger_ken]

Nnnngh...

[Ken grunts as he stirs, getting himself up as he pulls the pudding to his chest...]

Is there... a spoon...?

[break_the_nine]

I think its on the side of the pack. I can go look for one if its not there.

Two weeks. You were not even two weeks here, and you got into a brawl already.

Re: 2

[tiger_ken]

I'm not sure if you're amazed or horrified.

[abugslife]

Unamused.

According to your opponent, you are the one who started. What do you have to say about this?

[tiger_ken]

True, but he deserved it.

[Ken keeps his answer blunt.]

[abugslife]

This will require elaboration, I am afraid.
