[redload]

you the famed sophieroth?

[redload]

[shit. that's not how you spell his name, is it? nico, what the hell was it—?]

[redload]

sephiroth.

[thanks, girly]

[supersoldier]

[Sophieroth? Really?]

"Famed" is a exaggeration.

[In this world at least.]

Who is this?

[redload]

dante. devil may cry.

[his idea of an introduction.]

*an... smh

[supersoldier]

All right.

[An introduction that means very little to him, in all honesty.]

Did someone point you my way?

[redload]

[have these brats not been advertising the devil may cry?? he will complain to them.]

sure thing. one of my star employees in fact. nico.

[supersoldier]

[Nico-- it's a name that gives him pause, one that's reflected with a faint hitch in his otherwise efficient replies.]

I'm surprised she mentioned me at all.

[Actually, no. He probably isn't if he took the time to think about how... well. Memorable their last encounter was. It isn't something he wishes to bring up, though he wonders if the topic is lurking about in the background right now, waiting for the right moment to pounce.]

What did she say?

[redload]

you are aware of how much she talks, aren't you?

[supersoldier]

About other people? No, I wouldn't.

[Their interactions have consisted of a carnival, a greenhouse disaster, and a full moon disaster. There was not an awful lot of room for gossipmongering, and Sephiroth isn't the type besides.]

You didn't answer the question.

[redload]

ever heard of suspense? cliffhangers?

[this guys is amusing.]

i heard you have a pretty sweet sword on you.

[supersoldier]

The one from my home, yes. What of it?

[redload]

can't two guys share a mutual interest in each others' swords? i'm something of a

[don't]

scholar in the matter.

[supersoldier]

[scholar... why]

So you’re a swordsman, then. Anything to do with hunting demons?

[Maybe this came up in conversation once.]

[redload]

you're speaking to the legendary devil hunter himself.

[supersoldier]

So are you the business partner? Or the man who was in a coma?

[redload]

those kids are one hundred years too young to call themselves my business partners. so the latter, that's me.

so, what do you say?

[supersoldier]

As simple as that, then? Straight to a fight?

You must be confident.

[redload]

listen, i'm just looking for a good time.

[supersoldier]

[Funny, how it's about the only thing that Sephiroth finds true delight in, too.]

My reputation doesn't exist in this world, and maybe it means nothing to you, anyway. But you won't be much of a challenge unless you're well and truly strong.

[redload]

no, it doesn't. as far as i'm concerned, you're the one who has to prove yourself to me.

[supersoldier]

And is that how you approach every challenger? With the expectation that you're the strongest?

[redload]

are you really going to pass up the chance to figure out if i'm full of shit?

[supersoldier]

No.

[He wouldn't turn it down even if it was.]

Name a time and place.
