Maybe you should heed his advice, it is his body. He knows it better than anyone. [Dave points out as he picks up a slice of pizza. He wolfs down the slice before he keeps going. He hasn't had time to sit down and eat lunch. Normally he'd have had it by now. Being paranoid and wary of something following him had spoiled his appetite.]

I mean despite being trainer-raised there are probably some dangerous things still happening. A sword doesn't stop being a sword just because it changed hands. It's still a lethal fucking weapon even if you dull the edges. Some Japanese style swords have a duller edge and were used for assassinations and stuff like that. They end dirtied the blade so it would make the wound all the more fatal if they didn't quite kill their targets.

Yeah, yeah. [If he had a free hand, you can bet he'd be waving it. But it hasn't been ten minutes yet so the ice is still on his eye and the other hand is occupied with the all-important pizza. And pizza > hand gestures.]

I heeded it enough not to stay in there for more than a couple of minutes, didn't I? [He takes another bite of pizza.]

Haha, that's kinda gross though, the whole dirtying their weapons thing. [A beat.] In fact, you could say that they were... [Okay, he actually puts the pizza down for this one, forming a single pistol with his now-free hand.] fighting dirty.

[Dave's expression goes from thoughtful and concerned to unimpressed. He swallows a few more bites of pizza.] That was the most awful pun I've ever heard. You didn't even make it witty. It just flopped on the floor like a fish out of water, gasping for the wit air you didn't give it.

[He swallows more pizza and wolfs down another slice. Dave stares at the sauce on his fingers then just pops a finger in his mouth, sucking on it.] Why you gotta hurt a guy like that.

Scuze you, that was plenty witty! Your sense of humor just isn't as finely tuned as mine. But that's okay, [He puts down his pizza and claps his hand on Dave's shoulder, giving him a serious-yet-supportive look.] we all have things we're bad at.

[Dave set his food down and without another word just walked away. Witty? No, that pun was so terrible even the dead went 'duddddde baaad'.]

Hey what. Wait! Where are you going!? Oh my god, I was kidding!! [John sets the ice pack down and twists in his chair to call to Dave.] Dude, come on, get back here!!
