[he hopes that she feels better? wow, she totally knows his type already. the overly good kind that just makes her feel sick majority of the time. those white knight types... they were so odd to her, they always threw off her rhythm.
...but at the same time, she seemed to feel alright in their presence too. it was that weirdo ganta that did this to her, really.]
If you're so concerned now you would have thrown a fit if you had seen me back in prison, I was using my Branch of Sin constantly. [and she was constantly injured, too. but of course she doesn't think too much of her even being in prison, so she let that slip out rather easily.]
Yeah yeah... pretty sure those are just excuses, bowl cut. [at least they were going back to the party instead of being out in the creepy garden.]
[He's pretty much a green knight, and he's used to dealing with difficult people.]
Y-you were in prison?! I'm so sorry to hear that! [He actually starts weeping a little about that.]
I believe that you are right! Nothing can excuse that I failed!! I promise I'll do better next time! [He keeps moving at as brisk a pace as she can keep up with, keeping alert for any other dangers even as he is kind of weeping at the same time.]
[seriously this guy was so odd!! not only was he sobbing about her being in prison but he's telling her he'll do better next time...
...aha! so he's totally the doormat type too. perfect for her.
just when she was about to yell at him some more, suddenly another set of vines dashed out towards them. the thick vines blocked their route back to the party, and yet again she was creeped out by the idiotic tendrils.]
[she was way too frustrated with them already. she dashes past lee, whipping at the vines and able to cut down at least some of them before more start jutting out.]
Bowl cut you had better put those frilly ninja skills to use or else I'll just use you as goddamn bait!
[Rock Lee dashes in past her, moving swiftly. He tries tearing at some of the vines with his bare hands, but he also pulls out a kunai that he uses to cut at them.]
[but hey he was pretty damn useful! after she whipped at another vine she looked over her shoulder to see that he was cutting at the tendrils with his kunai.]
Puha! Guess you weren't kidding about the whole ninja thing. For a second there I thought you were living some kinda eighth grade fantasy.
[seeing his skills though made her feel better about being teamed up with him, definitely. when she looked back to see more vines coming at her, she was caught off guard for a moment and they wrapped around her ankle, swiftly yanking at her and she ended up falling on her back.]
Thank you! I assure you of my honesty!! [He said that with a smile as he continued to fend off the vines.
But then he turns as he sees her fall, with a light gasp.]
Ah...! Don't worry, I'll help you!! [He dashes over towards her and quickly starts stabbing down with his kunai to try to cut through each vine that's near her ankle.]
[she tried to squirm away from the vines, even to whip at it, but more just kept grabbing at her ankle. once lee was close to her, he was able to cut through the vines. once they were off of her she immediately stood back up, irritated to all hell.]
I'm about to whip every last plant in this goddamn garden...! [so stupid! but, she was grateful he at least helped her... but she wasn't going to say thanks, so sorry!]
[Once she's free, he straightens himself back up and faces off against the vinnes!]
B-be careful, there may be innocent plants around as well! I'm glad to help you, however... and I think that I have an idea! If we focus on the same area with our attacks, we should be able to push our ways through!!
[it was something she was going to suggest as well, but he beat her to it. as for the innocent plants... she understood the importance of them, but she didn't care about them right now, she just wanted out.]
I'm picking a spot so you better follow up! [she was dashing towards a less concentrated area of vines, her whip wing cutting at them and slowly getting rid of them. she just needed lee's help to push them back entirely.]
[The world will forever remember this baffling moment when Lee managed to mention a plan before a smart person.]
Don't worry! I'll follow you gladly! [Lee rushes forward, following her lead wit his kunai still in hand. Side-by-side, he works with her to help them push their way through, slashing at the vines with his kunai and sometimes even managing to yank some out with his hands!]
[minatsuki wasn't one for partnerships at all, but at least this way they would get out of here easier. with her whipping and him using his kunai, eventually they created an opening.]
There! [and she wasn't making sure he was following, she was simply running ahead and through the opening they both made.]
[While Rock Lee is all about teamwork, so he even looks a bit thrilled as they take on the vines together.
Once the opening comes, he's quick to action.] Yes!
[He hurries through the opening, but he makes sure to trail slightly behind her to make sure she doesn't get caught. But just as he moves out of the opening, a few more vines shoot out and wrap around both of his wrists from behind, trying to pull him back.]
[and just when she thought the two of them were going to get out just fine. she heard him yelp from behind her and she stopped to look over at him.
...actually, she looked at him, then back at the party before looking back at him again. she was clearly debating leaving him to the swarm of vines- and she definitely could, however...]
Hey! I don't care if you get personally fucked by all these vines- just do it after you've follow through with our deal!
[...yeah, she wasn't going to leave him. she had clearly gotten much softer, she used to be the type who would leave someone behind. but! she jogged over to lee, whipping at the vines again with her branch of sin. once he was free she grabbed him by his collar and pulled him roughly away from the plants.]
Lee did panic in the moment and felt a bit of fear as the vines tried to reel him back; but he didn't doubt at all that she would help him.
Her words didn't really phase him either. He smiled brightly when she came back to him, and as she freed him then tugged on his collar, he went along with her movements swiftly.]
[WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS! she should have left him, she should have...!! but what's done is done and they're running through the gardens yet again. almost at the party...!!]
[He does wince a little at each vulgar word, but he maintains an eager smile.]
Ah... It's okay! I know that you must be nicer than you act! We will be great friends, I promise! [He comes to a stop as they reach the party.] See? We have reached the party!
What the fuck....? I've experienced brats coming on strong but this is just...
[she just shakes her head at his words. this guy doesn't even know her! seriously....! she's a convict, a murderer! if she wanted she could easily try and rip him to shreds. she's killed plenty of people in the past and has never felt bad about it.
holy shit she is soft now.
either way, since they're back at the party minatsuki just lets her branch of sin fall apart. the tendrils of blood go away and the blood simply falls to the ground around them, staining it instantly.]
Why the hell do you think we'll even be friends? [she doesn't do friends okok.]
[Rock Lee unconditionally forgave and befriended a person who broke half of his body...
Lee doesn't respond to her instantly, though. No, his attention is drawn by that freaking Branch of Sin falling apart. He looks down towards the bloodstained ground with a silent gasp as if something had just died on the floor.
But he regains his composure and slowly looks back up at her with an unsteady smile.]
Ah... Why not? I think that we could get along well! I would be glad to help you to express your niceness, and we fight well together! That sounds like a great and youthful team to me, Miss!
[alright, she knew what he was all about by now, but that attitude had to go. she looked up at him with a glare.]
Okay, bowl cut, I'm not gonna express anything, understand? Don't just meet me and suddenly think you get me, because you don't. It's fucking disgusting.
Keep talking like that and next time I'll turn my whips on to you. I told you I was in prison and that's 'cause I'm a murderer, so don't take that threat lightly.
Ah... I apologize for my assumptions! I am sure that I would be glad to spar with you, but I promise I will not take your threats likely, Miss! I guess it's to be expected, that we can't be friends yet...

He tries to wipe at his tears, and then he's further distracted by the vines that suddenly appear.]
