Then whatever is the matter with a little conversation on the subject?

[tsunverde]

It's unnecessary.

[perspicacitas]

Ah. Less talk, more action?

[tsunverde]

Don't put words in my mouth!

[perspicacitas]

I don't believe I've put anything in your mouth recently, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

Shouldn't you get back to whomever is missing his or her cuffs instead of wasting time taunting me?

[perspicacitas]

It's a shame you believe it's taunting, Midorima-kun. [he'd have called it flirting, himself]

[tsunverde]

I call it taunting because you're trying to get a reaction from me.

[perspicacitas]

Most people do interact with the intent of getting a response or reaction from others. I reckon that's the entire point of interactions.

But I assure you it's not meant to taunt. Perhaps the finer nuances of flirting are yet be too foreign to you, though.

[tsunverde]

I never had a need for flirting.

[perspicacitas]

Always had people throwing themselves at you, hmm?

[tsunverde]

Of course not.

[perspicacitas]

Given your...enthusiasm for the subject once you make up your mind to indulge, it's a bit hard to imagine you not wanting any sort of companionship.

[tsunverde]

It was unnecessary at the time.

[perspicacitas]

And must it be necessary to be enjoyable?

[tsunverde]

You're saying I should have taken time away from practice or studying to look for a relationship?

[perspicacitas]

Needs must be balanced if they exist.

And I reckon if anyone could have made it work, it would have been you, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

When we were at home, it was something I would worry about later.

[perspicacitas]

Of course. I reckon you're excellent at prioritizing.

[tsunverde]

Here the priorities have changed for the sake of obeying the gods.

[perspicacitas]

Indeed they have. And I'm sure you give them no reason to doubt your devotion. The...intense level of focus with which you apply yourself to a given task is most commendable, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

Is this more flirting?

[perspicacitas]

It could be. I suppose in part it depends on your reaction.

Though it would just figure that you'd find statements regarding your level of focus and dedication more stimulating that other, more suggestive advances.

[tsunverde]

I never said it was stimulating.

[perspicacitas]

Oh? Do you dislike compliments, Midorima-kun?
