[voice/written/action if y'all are on board]

[With all the commotion of Konoha-nin showing up and then disgusting mind-controlling candy showing up directly after them, Sasuke has nearly forgotten about the other encounter he had on Empieza the day he met his former teammates -- but there's finally been a lull, and he's perched as high in the rigging as he can go without the journal blowing out of his hands when he remembers.]

Has anyone seen this?

[Believe it or not, he has actually put effort into this drawing, but a dragon is not a battle diagram.]

It was looking for a skinny kid with brown hair.

...that is something worth considering. I shall keep it in mind!

That said, I have never been much worried about an opponent being skilled enough to relieve me of something that important in such close range.

[That last bit sounds... oddly really confident for as light and breezy a tone as is typical for Alice. In an, "I'd like to see them try" sort of way.]

You're that certain of your close-combat abilities? [Some of the confusion gives way to interest, for once unmitigated by the perplexing question what exactly these Precures are.

Then again, maybe she means --] Or are you talking about your defensive capability?

[He'd heard something before about her role as shield of some sort in their formation.]

Both.

[Simple. Straight to the point. Still said politely, but with ultimate confidence.]

You're confident. Are you willing to back it up?

I am not one who regularly seeks combat, I am afraid. If it is an unavoidable situation, that is another matter.

Do you not train? [There's doubt in his voice now. Unless her defensive abilities are completely rooted in whatever that transformation thing is, in which case ... maybe that makes sense?]

[For some Precure? Yes, "fighting ability with powers" applies. For Alice? Nope.]

Well, yes! But the thing is, I must be very careful. [A beat.] You see, I would not want to unnecessarily hurt anyone.

[That's intriguing. It's one thing to boast of strength, but to talk like this with so practical a tone implies genuine skill.]

I'd like to see what you can do. You won't hurt me unnecessarily.

Perhaps, if you are insistent. I suppose it is a necessity to keep our skills up to par, as we are not beset by enemies quite as much as at home.

Plus, I have not really had the opportunity since my injury was healed.

I need more variety in my own training routine. We have too many weird powers here to try to scrape by otherwise.

We're docked at Empieza now. Where are you?

Similarly, although I do not think this the ideal place for such a thing. I would not want to damage the ships or the town, and...

Well, I am frankly still recovering my strength. One of our new crew mates healed the injuries Rikka and I had, but I was still out of commission for several weeks.

Empieza is never happy whether we damage the town or not. [Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, given that most of the times Sasuke has been on the island there's been destruction going on.]

Anyway, you know how to get in touch with me whenever you're ready, then.

Yes, but it would probably be wise to not encourage their ire.

However! That I shall, Sasuke-san.
