Catharsis in Swordplay. ( for 8D )

"Hm. I suppose that is true enough to a point, as I am now I doubt I could help you much at all. Infact I doubt I would stand a GHOST of a chance at awakening your GHOST! Ehehehe!" Grins laughed heartily at his own pun and wiped a small tear from his eye. However, in spite of how hospitable and cordial Masako had been to his incessant questions and insufferable good cheer, Grins couldn't help but feel perhaps he had outstayed his welcome.

"My lack of ability to help you aside Miss.Masako, I do believe it is time for me to make my leave, or perhaps my lack of ability is the precise reason I should take my leave... Who knows? Ehehehe! Regardless, I had best leave you to your training, I am eager to see what kind of protector you turn out to be miss! Ehehehe" 8D would bow once more before spinning on his heel and waving goodbye as he walked away. "Oh! And do choose a color by next we meet! It is quite hard to discern your dialogue from your text! Ehehehe!"

8D would laugh to himself until he was out of sight. Later in the day, however, If Masako were to check her training katana, she would find a folded business card tucked into the binding on the grip.


Fallowed by an address and phone number.

Huh... it seems he's capable of at least understanding when he's reaching a certain breaking point. In a way I'm relie- wait, color?

She honestly had no clue what he meant by color. As far as she was aware, dialogue has no color to begin with.

Wait, was he claiming that her manner of speaking was dull and grey?!?!

"L-like wise," she replied, as stoic as ever, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind!"

You are very, very, VERY close to pushing me to my limits, clown. VERY CLOSE! No, remain professional. He's just doing what he does best, be a very confusing clown... uuuugh, but he might actually push me to my very limits... I'll need to be extra careful around him... Clearly I need to restrengthen my dicipline if my patience is being pushed to such extremes...

With that said, she returned to her training, this time focusing on maintaining a proper grip. She didn't want to break any more helicopters by accident.

Though, as expected, she did notice a strange card hidden in the folds of the binding of her practice Katana.

"... Grins... appropriate... I'm... not sure if I should keep this, though..."

For a long time, she deliberated as to the wisdom of keeping a contact that was able to some how manage to strain her patience.

After much deliberation, and againts her better judgement, she went ahead and added him to her contacts.

All things considered... he was really good with a pun.

"... Ghost of a chance awakening my ghost... I just got the pun."
