sadiskick | STAND BY ME ONEGAIIII (toi catchall)

It's not my fault she's so damn clingy.

[ anya truly ran at full speed like she was some sort of lioness and he was an injured gazelle ]

[ toi is prey. it is known.

She laughs a little. ]

Will you run away if I cling onto you?

If I see you running like she does, yes.

[ it's just like

a reflex ]

Toi Kuji. I enjoy a chase and being the hunter. You best be prepared.

[ She's going to have fun, but there's no guarantee of his fun. ]

[ he hates this ]

... fine. Challenge accepted!

[ he has concerns. ]

I expect your fright to bring a spring to my step.

[ She's excited. ]

I could always do the same to you.

[ he wouldn't he could never nyoom like anya ]

I'd welcome it.

[ She's calling his bluff, but also, she'd probably die laughing if Toi ever acted like Anya. ]

... fine.

[ he. does not know where to go from here. it's terrible. ]

Let's make a game of it. If you run at me like Anastasia runs at you, I'll give you a prize.

[ She is so confident he'll fail. ]

[ he hates this ]

What's the prize?

My shock and awe.

[ She smiles. ]

I'll let you choose since I know you won't.

You don't know that.

[ he just further digs his grave but he's stubborn ]

You're setting yourself up for quite the stage.

[ She's fine with it because seeing him squirm makes her happy. ]

Fine. When I win I'll tell you what I want.

If you win.

Didn't you say I need to be more confident?

I'm a prima ballerina.

[ Her confidence is too much. ]

Then I'm going to beat a prima ballerina.

It's a battle of affections. You'll shrivel up from the mortification.

[ SHE'S NOT WRONG ]

I... can handle it.
