Yo, guys: you've reached Kanji Tatsumi. Leave me a message.

Sure it bothers me sometimes.

[After all, hadn't that been part of the dream - well, so to speak - during the tournament? To prove himself?]

But if I'm doing whatever I do the best I can do it, what else'm I meant to do? I've spent too damn long worryin' about how I compare to other people.

[windbreak]

Doing whatever you do, huh? Yeah, I guess you'd already know.

[On impulse, he reaches over to very lightly punch Kanji in the shoulder. Actually, it's best described as a nudge. The lake doesn't sound much more appealing to him right now than a wall would be.] Turns out you're a super-dependable guy after all. Who would've thought?

[Kanji glares briefly at Yosuke's tap - but laughs slightly, looks away.]

I've got people who give a damn about me now, and about what I do. It's worth it. I ain't gonna let anyone else down.

When it's you saying it's that simple, I gotta believe it... [He winks.] Maybe I should fight you for reals one of these days, whaddya say? Last time I trained with Souji, he found a cat up there and literally dropped everything to go say hi.

[realmenknitplushies]

Eh, I'm probably making it sound easier than it is. Not like I did it overnight.

...Wait, he did what? [Damn, and he thought he was bad with the cute things...]

[windbreak]

Didn't think he was the type, right? I didn't used to think so either...

[All of a sudden, he quirks an eyebrow.] Unless... Come to think, you might not be an improvement there, huh?

[realmenknitplushies]

...hey, come on, there's a lot I'll do for cute shit, but I ain't done that before...!

[windbreak]

Oh, I dunno. [Yosuke raises his hand to his chin and shoots Kanji a mock-pensive look.] I can see it happening with the right timing. You and Ted, sometimes...

[realmenknitplushies]

[And that gets a bit of an exasperated laugh.]

Aw, dude...!

[windbreak]

[Now he jokingly raises his hand in self-defense.] Hey, you can't just punch a guy over the horizon right after he goes and bares his heart to you like this, can you!? Anyway, the cat gambit would only be Payback Plan A...
