[Kaliko]

Blaze finally seemed to notice, but she didn't say anything.

[Rinrou]

Kale was silent for awhile before sighing, "Let me guess..." he muttered, "In order to think, you have to fight."

[Kaliko]

Blaze didn't say anything, still looking at her book.

[Rinrou]

"When you feel the need to fight... Could you please not fight Wolfe when he's already worked into a state?" he asked, fighting to keep his voice level.

[Kaliko]

Blaze continued to give Kale the silent treatment.

[Rinrou]

Kale sighed, a little irritation showing through for a moment before he squashed it. "Look, I'm sorry... I..." he paused for a moment, "overreacted. I didn't mean what I said but how is a guy supposed to react when you tell him something like that?" he defended but the question was a serious one..

[Kaliko]

Blaze seemed a little less focused on the book now, but she still didn't say anything.

[Rinrou]

"I'm not... your average guy," he muttered before falling silent. After a long moment starting talking again but his tone was different, all trace of annoyance was gone, "Everything you do seems to make me feel more inferior. Is that normal in a relationship?"

[Kaliko]

Blaze was silent for a long time before replying quietly, "Everything you say seems to make me feel like dirt."

[Rinrou]

Kale was silent for awhile before sighing, "I'm not good with people," he reminded her in a mutter.

[Kaliko]

"... I don't have long to live," Blaze reminded Kale quietly.

[Rinrou]

"Well, I'm sorry," Kale suddenly snapped, "But I'm not going to treat you differently just because of that. When you do something stupid, I'm going to tell you it's stupid."

[Kaliko]

"You don't have to make me feel stupid to do that," Blaze snapped a little back.

[Rinrou]

"I already said I'm not good with people!" Kale retorted.

[Kaliko]

"You're using that as an excuse to hide behind?" Blaze snorted.

[Rinrou]

"Look, I'd never even had an argument with someone before I meet you!" he retorted.
