course i want my sister on my team
ill have her back and shell have mine
shes the tactical side of our foursome
ill check on jade to see if she wants in on it and dirk
you met dirk right
ignore me if i told you to meet him

It's still hard to believe you guys are related, honestly. But I'll leave it to you and John to talk to her about it, then one of you guys can let me know.

I haven't met Dirk yet! [Though in the future she has] I know you said I should meet him at the party, but I pretty much just showed up to fight you. I didn't do that much socializing.

yeah i can understand that
it wasnt the best timing for a meeting
speaking of that uh
like i hate to bring up a bad topic if thats stuff tender like a bruise but
are you doing any better

I'm alright. It sucks, but I'll get over it.

[There's more to it than that, but over text, it's a lot easier to lie.]

What kind if ninja would let something like that keep her down, anyway? Next time we fight, I'll be a proper challenge.

if you say so
hey you gave me a pretty good fight before too dont sell that short

[She didn't, but if he tells her that then they'd be back to talking about rather around the issue. He's going to break dance if he has to. God don't let it resort to that. He hates that type of dancing it looks so damn lame.]

well just up the ante and ill wipe my shades off so when you hit me in the face theyre still safe

Don't. Don't patronize me, I know the difference between when I fight well and still lose, and when I just lose.

[Let's see those break dancing moves, Strider.]

You deserve a proper fight, and next time I'll be able to give that to you. I'm just lucky it was you I was fighting, and not an actual enemy.

[In the past he'd have broke something dancing around things. But she hit it directly so he isn't about to run interference.]

oh so were not trying to run circles around that
god damn here i was starting to make my circles
oh well

it isnt about what i deserve
i didnt challenge you for myself
dont make me spell it out
if you do were not gonna survive
all this honesty will just take us out with a well damn son
where did dave and tenten go theyll say
dunno will be the collective answer because the carnage happened that fast
just boom all she wrote

[It's a real good thing this is all over text, because she sure as hell would never be able to say something like this aloud. It takes her a few minutes to even reply, since she keeps erasing and starting over.]

I know why you challenged me. And I appreciate it, don't get me wrong. But I don't want you to challenge me just because you want me to feel better. I want you to challenge me because you think I'll be a real challenge. So I'll keep fighting you until I prove I'm worth your time.

And that's all there is to that.

[And it's easier to talk about fighting than it is to talk about Sasuke.]

not why i challenged you
try again tenten
you still got door number two and three to check out

What?

I'm not going to guess. If you didn't do it to make me feel better, and you didn't do it for yourself, then why did you?

focus
when theres nothing else you can do for a situation
go back to what you know
nine times out of ten you can find a way like that
so yeah keep coming at me
i needed the exercise and challenge of someone who knows what theyre doing
deal
