[ the idea of the empathy bond is the literal worst thing in the world to him. followed closely by the idea of getting an actual job. like, what skills does he have that would be wanted by any sane employer?
what would he do being on a schedule that wasn't roughly "hang out in bar from 8am til you get kicked out because the adult you're with can't help but start a fight?" so, he just refuses, and while the look he wants to give is skepticism... there's a touch of hesitance. ]
Do people not wear clothes in these stupid fighting pits? And you think, after all this, I could keep a job for more than 5 minutes? Seriously?
Are you going to argue over every single thing that is said to you? Because, if that is the case, I am going to excuse myself to go read a book. I will get more accomplished.
( and illya thought he was high strung and tense. he eyes jason critically before sighing and shaking his head. )
[ two dumb high-strung men on opposite ends of the spectrum. ]
If spies and superheroes can get jobs, [ she points exclusively to herself, because illya's still supposedly keeping that secret somehow eight months later... ] You can figure it out.
[ a shrug ]
Nobody wears a latex gimp suit, no. Your hands, your face, probably your arms — you strike skin a lot more than you might think. Just keep it mind.
[ and then she puts her drink down, because this is getting out of control. ]
Would you two both just chill out? [ to illya: ] He's new, not a baby. I wouldn't have suggested taking him to the rings if I thought he was going to throw a fit.
[ more pointedly, to bobby mason jason 2.0: ] Russians don't hold their tempers well. He's talking from experience, but he's a good teacher. Better than me.

( some just have more easily triggered tempers than others. )
I never said I wouldn't go with him. It was just a random observation. If he says he won't, then he won't.
( see, he could be nice. )
no subject
yeah, he has a temper. he knows he does.
but losing a fight fair and square isn't the kind of thing that sets it off. ]
I won't.

( he nods once. )
We can go later. After dinner.

Do you two need a chaperone tonight, or can you both be nice to each other without me in the middle?
no subject
( he was civil. he was a civil man. )
Do not worry.
no subject
Yeah, you heard him. Don't worry.
