[he looks amused. (also, he thinks that emma and north are in some ways similar but he knows better than voice that thought.)]

Yes, even discounting Hisoka.

[foodbin]

Really? Who?

[nonbelligerent]

Oh, no one here. Well, Ookurikara does get annoyed with me at times, though.

[foodbin]

Well... Whoever it is, they’re probably full of shit.

[nonbelligerent]

[casually not going to mention that people have treated him like shit all his life.

instead, emma just gets wry amusement.]

Duly noted. Thank you, Emma.

[foodbin]

You give ‘em what for when you go back home, yeah?

[nonbelligerent]

That would cause more problems than it's worth, but I'll keep it in mind.

[foodbin]

...Not the easiest place to live, huh?

[nonbelligerent]

It's usually nothing personal.

[foodbin]

But only usually.

[nonbelligerent]

[...

he just shrugs.]

[foodbin]

Also, does it make it easier that it’s not personal?

[nonbelligerent]

There's a lot you learn not to take personally as a sura.

But you don't need to worry. I don't tolerate anything I don't have to, and I make that clear to others.

[foodbin]

How high is your bar for what you don’t have to take?

[nonbelligerent]

People acting hostile towards me—or those under my care—before I've even done anything or while I'm trying to help them.

[with some exceptions but emma really doesn't need to know about those.]

[foodbin]

I hope it’s not that common for you.

[nonbelligerent]

Not that common, I think?

[foodbin]

Every week, every month...?

[nonbelligerent]

[he lets out a silent laugh.]

Longer than that.

[though frequency's relative. when you're old.]

[foodbin]

Well, good. Constantly dealing with assholes is not fun, trust me.

[nonbelligerent]

That makes it sound like you're the one constantly dealing with hostile people, not me.

[foodbin]

Do you know what a barista is?

[nonbelligerent]

Something to do with drinks, if I recall correctly?

[foodbin]

Half the job is making coffee. The other half is having to deal with the assholes you’re making coffee for.

[nonbelligerent]

I don't understand the point of being an asshole to someone making food for you.
