Red Bull gives you wings: Wait really
Red Bull gives you wings: Are you like
Red Bull gives you wings: Telling me to kill you or something

FIRESTARTER: not exactly.
FIRESTARTER: look. the advantage of hand to hand is you don't have to kill someone.
FIRESTARTER: it's pretty easy to knock them out, as much as kill them.

Red Bull gives you wings: Ok you just worded it like a death pact

Red Bull gives you wings: You home or what

FIRESTARTER: that bad.

[he'll send a location pin. figure it out, griffin!!]

[...Okay he's on the roof or something, isn't he.

A few minutes later, Griffin is walking up to see him.]

Still Malik pissing you off?

Think I've put up with enough bullshit to earn some space.

[besides, he likes the roof.]

Just don't start greying out by accident.

[Takes a seat on the ledge near him]

Got til tomorrow.

[he's been keeping track of the time on his phone.]

Unfortunately.

Well, at least you're keeping track.

[A pause.]

And-- I wanted t'say, sorry for being a pissy little shit the other day.

Don't worry about it. Just don't insult me with that "if I can't beat you, then it doesn't matter" BS, and we're good.

[though honestly, he's not making eye contact as he says it.]

Can't blame you entirely for getting pissed, after everything.

[Griffin blinks, looking over with an earnestly confused expression. Because he's way too heart-on-his-sleeve.]

Why is that an insult? You're one of the toughest guys I know, even before powers come into it.

Not how you said it.

Ignoring that I was out of my mind thanks to Machai, I don't think straight up fighting the people that took away your family is gonna work anyway. So I don't see what losing that fight had to do with any of what you're pissed about.

Fighting them made sense at the time...

[He kicks up a leg to pull close to his chest, draping an arm over it ponderously]

I mean, I'm a Devil Hunter. Straight up fighting them is pretty much my only gameplan. I got a history of trying to take down a Demon King head on and getting my ass handed to me - more than once.

Got all fixated on, if I can't beat the strongest human here, how'm I ever gonna beat the strongest devil out there?... Guess I never really learn.

Heh. Sounds impressive when you put it that way... Think this is the first time I've actually had powers, honestly.

[a light shrug.]

As much as I like fighting, it's not the only thing I can rely on. Different perspectives.

[he leans back, glancing up at the sky.]

And maybe just a different brand of crazy from yours. But I think I had to go through a bunch of shit, same as you, to get to where I am. That stuff was so ingrained, it's like muscle memory.

Edited 2019-11-24 08:38 (UTC)

Well. You have to have some kinda crazy to wanna take out a devil, right? And you've got the smarts I don't. [He smirks a little.]

Even if you're fucked up, you're still the kinda fucked up we need.

And here I feel like you're trying to make me blush or something.

[he looks amused, but not close to blushing. but hey, at least he finally glances over at him]

[He smirks wider, brighter]

Well, is it working? What's it gonna take, huh. Candlelit burgers?

A guy admits he has a favorite food, and now we're making jokes about romantic burger dinners.

[HE SIGHS.]

I don't think you've got the chops to make me blush, but I appreciate it anyway.
