That man with the ugly coat has a dancing pet crab he carries around everywhere. The other one's a loud, burly idiot with a giant axe, and the last one is an angry kid. Not to mention one of them brought a chicken that won't shut up.
[ her expression sours, like she's actually, genuinely annoyed by his comment. but steph takes a deep breath, and lets the moment pass before speaking again. ]
The situation is more complicated than that, Hikage.
[ but with damian here, it's not really her place to go into detail. ]
[ Kids shouldn't be trying to fight crime at that age; it's got to be complicated by definition. He can see she's getting annoyed, so he shifts his tack, although, stubborn as ever, he doesn't seem to have any intention of apologizing for his thoughts. ]
He's better than the other two. I'll keep an eye on him.
Easy for you to say. You make friends with everybody. [ Hikage shakes his head. ] Considering we'll probably be killing each other in a few days, it seems like a waste of time.

That's irresponsible.

[ the are times where she and damian can and will get along, but they are far fewer than the ones where they do not. ]
no subject
[ unimpressed - then, after a moment, he clicks his tongue, resting a hand on his hip. ]
... No, that makes sense when I think about it. [ mean ] Even so, you're the last person I'd expect to be okay with something like that.

[ steph dreams of her allies from home getting along with her allies from the castle, but she knows that is easier said than done. ]
no subject
[ he knows he's generally unlikable, and Damian's personality seems difficult to boot. But he'll do his best if it's for Steph. Hikage sighs. ]
None of this would matter if they just put us together again.

It might be a hint, so we should work with it.
