That's one way to put it.

You survived?

[unarm]

I did! It has been such a long time since I met something so strong
I couldn't kill it in one blow
Can you imagine that?
Ahhhh

[gorb]

They generally are.
I wouldn't take it to heart.

But, are you particularly strong, Reiji-san?

[unarm]

I took it to heart
Now we should go to dinner and trade war stories

Yes
Are you particularly strong, Geto-san?

[gorb]

( A singular slightly blurry photo of a half eaten bowl of soba. )

Too late.
What kind of war stories?

And yes.

[unarm]

That looks rather good
About what just happened with that kaiju
This is a war, isn't it?

Good, strong people are my favourite people.

[gorb]

I think a lot of people are your favourite type of people.

We defeated it, took out some cultists, got back our own. There's not much of a story beyond that. Unless you're one of the bitten. Are you? Maybe it's not my zaru soba you're after.

[unarm]

Jealous? Don't worry, you're my favourite here

No no
Not bitten
Just a little bored

[gorb]

I don't know what I've done to deserve such an honour.

( Beyond being vaguely off-putting, at least. )

Our first moments peace in weeks and you're complaining? Tch. Try the simulation rooms.

[unarm]

A stroke of good luck, maybe!
Oh Geto-san
Punching something over and over gets boring too

[gorb]

Well, what would you do back home if you were bored?

[unarm]

Bully my aide
Bully my protégé and his best friend

[gorb]

Oh, I know your type.

Tell me, do you have a sweet tooth too?

[unarm]

A bit of one!
Do you know a good place to get ice cream?
Or crepes! I do miss that little place in Harajuku

[gorb]

Not really, I don't eat out here all that often. I can ask around for you?

But I know which place you're talking about. My girls liked it. I haven't found a replica.

[unarm]

You're a parent?

[ suddenly, everything else is forgotten!!! ]

[gorb]

I am.

( He is. It isn't a lie. They're his girls in the same way he is theirs. )

Twins. Mimiko and Nanako.

[unarm]

Congratulations on having two beautiful girls
How old are they?

[gorb]

Sixteen.

[unarm]

How lovely
They're not here, are they?

[gorb]

No.

For that I'm glad. If the same thing happened to them that did our other recruits even LILITH would not still be standing.

[unarm]

Mm, I believe that
Separation is still difficult, Geto-san
I am sorry

[gorb]

It's fine, they have people looking after them.

( And he would be gone either way, so. )

Do you have family to miss, Reiji-san?

[unarm]

Very wise of you to make sure of that
No!
I only work
Sad

[gorb]

What job have they given you here?
