((See. This is why I didn't look it up. So that "swimming Trails mingames" could slap me all at once. Okay, no, there really was another reason--))

I was just thinking... about who I'd race if I did it again.

[He adjusts his glasses.]

It'd be pretty pathetic to say "fight me" and then hear you didn't know any of the strokes and stuff. Akabane-kun would make it all touchy-feely, and a lot of the others are weak somehow or not used to competition. You're the obvious choice for an actual contest.

[ He'll smirk at that.

It actually sounded like it made sense to him when the brunet put it that way. ]

Heh. Well, if you challenged me to a race, I'd actually go ahead and put some effort into it. Somehow, I could imagine you making it worth my time.

Trails??? Spoilers???

[mermaidkin]

Then... We'll see what happens.

[He's smiling... faintly. The cloud of everything that's happened in the past 24 hours still hovers over his eyes.]

How about the winner gets to ask the loser a question? I think... I could use more perspective on the events in your world. I don't know if my perspective is as interesting an offer to you, though.

Indeed Trails of Cold Steel I & II spoilers, in a way

[ Honestly, what happened was a lot. The rush of victory would be more of a ride if he wasn't already thinking of how to prepare for the next 'fight'...which was him just thinking if he should just throw himself at whatever comes with Angbar or the whip first.

Such strategy, wow. ]

...Sure. Don't really care to make the bet different from my end.

[ It kind of reminded him of when Crow made the people aboard the Pantagruel make bets (totally headcanon, but he would.) ]

Been awhile since I have, anyway. Maybe I'll learn something interesting, depending on what I'll have to ask.

[ Like some kind of embarrassing event that involved Hiyori in his world just for funsies...!! Okay, probably not because realistically speaking the other probably had more swimming skill. But. You know. ]
