[ ... No comment on her first and second points. He'll let her have the final say, if only for his own peace and quiet; he'd rather eat than debate the finer points of her untimely demise and unnatural revival. ]
Mhm, yeah, [ he mumbles around a mouthful of samosa. ] Fits th' d'scr'ption.
—So what? Do you think it might have been the same guy?
[Did they lose track of the point? No, it's only a detour to get the facts settled before testing things out. After all, Rin is curious to know more about the man who... well, they're even. Almost. She may hassle him to cough up some chips for a meal since his version of killing her was more expensive than her version of killing him.]
[ He swallows and takes a sip of the drink before answering. ]
Might be. The guy I fought was called Blade.
[ He remembers it because it's edgy... Also because the guy had that regeneration ability. Although the physical description may not be too out of the ordinary, it was pretty unique for someone to retain a power like that while wearing the bracelet. Odds are it's her guy. ]
[He wasn't a cheater, but she believes he is! Wholeheartedly! Well, perhaps not wholeheartedly. Rin is salty over what happened, but she logically knows she can't begrudge him. And that if it wasn't a quick death that it's likely something like her family crest would have started kicking in to prevent her from dying. It's just he had the better ace up his sleeve.]
[ Tomura stares blankly while she makes her accusation. Big if true... ]
How'd he cheat? By beating you?
[ It's not like he intends to defend Blade's integrity or anything (hell, he barely even knows the guy), but he does know that Tohsaka is a sore loser, thanks to the game Jin Mingming started on the network... ]
[Because she didn't exactly expect to get called on that, Rin recoils and sputters immediately. Her body language is clear in the way she rears back against the backrest of her seat and her spine goes ramrod straight.]
No! That's not it at all! I overpowered him first. If he wasn't some kind of weirdo I would have won!
[And be saddled with near-eternal guilt. Though the denial is partially a lie, so it begins. It starts as something small. A tiny urge akin to an itch. For now she ignores it.]
