Then just spar with me and we'll make it up as we go. I don't think I've ever really seen you fight anyway.

Same goes for you. I didn't know you did any sparring.

Yeah. Yeah, I used to spar with my older brother all the time. Karate. [A beat.] Haven't really done much of it in the last year though. I might be a little out of practice. Figured it was time to start maybe learning something new, too.

'Karate' is... [ Taking a guess here, but, ] a type of fighting style?

Yup. It's a type of martial arts that originated in Japan that's basically using your limbs to punch kick and strike your opponent. I could show you sometime if you really want.

[ HMM. interesting. ]

Yeah, I want to see it.

[ Maybe pick up a thing or two from it... ]

[Come be a training buddy with him Eren it'll be fun.]

Sweet. Where are you anyway? Still Diasbaile?

[ He shakes his head. ]

Not right now. It might be a few days before I'm back in the area.

[...suspicious brat is suspicious.]

Where are you.

[ He sees that suspicious look, Hiro, and Eren's shooting back that ever frequent frown in return. ]

I'm at Redgate.

[He's just ignoring that look because he's used to it at this rate.]

What're you doing in Redgate? When the hell did you leave to go to Redgate? [Way to not pay attention, Hamada.]

What're you acting so surprised for? This isn't the first time I've been here.

Yeah but I didn't think you actually cared. [Because Eren.] Doesn't answer my question though.

—Huh?

[ wtf do you mean by "actually cared"...... ]

It's nothing important. You don't have to worry about it.

[Hiro and Eren probably like Redgate for different reasons. Spoilers: it's because one of them is a giant nerd and it's not Eren.]

Well that's not super sketchy or anything.

[ To which he snorts at. ]

You think I'm a sketchy guy?

We're Unseelie, Eren. You tell me.

[Y'know. Considering Hiro just volunteered Eren to be a training dummy for Katsa to teach Hiro how to defend himself in hand to hand combat. Sorry Eren.]

[ Wow. ]

No, Hiro, I'm not.

[Have you met his Unseelie family, Eren? There is a very valid concern at stake here.]

Okay. Just checking. [...but there's a teasing grin following.] Buuut if it really wasn't that big of a deal you wouldn't be avoiding telling me.

[He'll drop it soon. Probably. Maybe.]

I'm not avoiding anything—I told you already, it's nothing important. I'm just here.

All right, all right, whatever. [Dropping the subject because Eren you're sometimes too stubborn to deal with...said the pot to the kettle.]

When you get back though we'll go a few rounds. I bet I could teach you some pretty cool tricks. [A pause.] I mean I wrote the coding for Baymax to learn most of the basics, I'm pretty sure you could pick something up.

[ Knowing Hiro, Eren begins to wonder if he should bother asking what a 'Baymax' is supposed to be... ]

I will. I already know how to use hand-to-hand, but this isn't the first time I've heard of different techniques being brought up.

[One day he'll introduce Eren to Baymax's arm and further confuse him...one day.]

We'll have to start with seeing what you already know before I try to teach you anything. [It's also a good way for Hiro to pick up new skills by proxy. You know. Just in case.]

Heh, I'm pretty good, you know—but alright. I'll show you.

We'll see about that. [But he's mostly just teasing at least.] Call me as soon as you get back then.
