I risk concussions enough that I figure I don't need to do it intentionally. Especially for practice.

( he'll scramble his own eggs if he has to in a fight, but on his girlfriend he just doesn't have that much in getting the upperhand. )

Sounds like a plan.

fair, but while we're picking up the armor i'd maybe bring that up to the tailor. the horns shouldn't just be for decoration.

[ it's less of an issue if she's using the method against other parts of the body - the shoulder, the stomach, wherever she can strike if her arms or legs won't do the job on their own.

(there'd better not be any jokes about her only being able to reach the shoulders if she's lucky, or about her not butting their heads with her own just because she can't reach them.) ]

where did you want to go first?

[catholicisms]

I haven't stopped to ask anyone if the horns hurt much, but from the sounds they make I'd guess so.

( technically it's the only sharp Matt runs, though more or less unintentional. )

Weapons. Easier to fit armor if you've got your arms with you.

[ultraviolents]

smart. plus then you know how big the pockets for the knives will need to be.

[ thanks, it has pockets...for knives! ]

[catholicisms]

Very important, nobody likes a pocket too small for your preferred knife.

( he's maybe making fun of her a little. )

[ultraviolents]

you're right. why have a convenient place for it when i could let it hang like an extra appendage?

[ turnabout's fair play, murdock. ]

[catholicisms]

we both know you'd put it in your boot over letting it hang like an uncomfortably niche strap on, i don't know why we're pretending any differently

i will NOT make another fincher reference, i will NOT make another fincher reference...

[ultraviolents]

unless that spot in my boot was already occupied with another knife.

[catholicisms]

You're ridiculous.

( said with complete fondness. )

[ultraviolents]

i prefer to think of it as being prepared.

[catholicisms]

If you have a knife in both of your boots and are struggling to find a place for a third, I think you're more than prepared.

Speaking of. I have a time down with my guy. Date night is on.

( only these weirdos would consider knife and armor shopping a date. )

[ultraviolents]

who said i was struggling? finding new ways to be armed is always a fun challenge.

perfect, i just arranged a time with mine. be ready in an hour?

[ in fairness, they’d find most other dating activities boring. ]

wraps here??

[catholicisms]

Sure. I'll see you (metaphorically) soon.
