122-year old Promethean Soldier without grizzled, battle-brothers? [ Brig glances at him and gives him a look ] Yes. More so when the person who tells him those things is a fellow "living weapon" [ Brigade does the quotation marks expression with both hands ], willing to lay his life down on the wire to save a lot of people.
[ A moment's pause. ] And does.
[ He takes a swig of his beer and a drag of his cigarette. It's the truth. ]
Odd, really, given how they started out. Outside of that first encounter with Saitou, really, since they had never gotten far with that one. That had been Saitou's moment, after all.]
We all do what we have to do, in the best way that we know how.
Cheers to that. [ Brig reaches his beer out and waits for Hikaru to toast ] And that's why you can count me among your "acquisitions". Just think of me as Charizard though. [ Brigade chuckles as he says so, suddenly remembering episodes of the original series ]
Never watched the old series? [ Brigade's actually surprised at this. With how Hikaru is, he should have. Or he's just faking again, waiting for an answer to play with ] In the classic series, Charizard was Ash's most stubborn Pokemon. But when they made their peace, and Ash showed Charizard his true mettle, Charizard became arguably Ash's most loyal.
[ Brigade smiles at that. He'd actually like to make this a regular thing ] Just text me when you're free. And I'll text to ask if ever I need drinking company. [ He's very happy Hikaru made the offer to make it a regular thing ] What's your choice drink? So I can bring some next time.
Copy that. [ Brig smiles but gives another suggestion ] Or we can just both bring booze with the way we drink. [ He laughs. Unlikely either of them will get drunk anyway. ]
[ Not quite what Brig meant. ] Well, if that's your preference and perspective, whatever floats your boat. [ Brig smiles. Well, if you live long enough, you probably do end up thinking like that ]
[ Brig just grins at that ] You're a millennium old 21-year-old. [ He laughs ] Pretty sure you know what you're doing in that regard [ A pause, then he adds ] for a 21-year-old.

So those are the things that get underneath that soldier boy exterior, huh?
[Now he's just teasing you in that typically charming/annoying/hot Blade King fashion.]
cause Brig's too serious for his own good sometimes. haha

Charizard, huh? Why that one?
[Yeah, he's played that game. All of those games.
He gets bored, okay.]

[Talk about uncanny accuracy. Thank you, popular culture.]

Maybe after today, we should do this again. [ He suggests after handing Hikaru the new can and starts on his own ]

[As things were, Hikaru didn't have a lot of people to drink with anymore. So maybe...]

I don't swing that way. And I don' think I'm your type. [ Brig says jokingly ]

Based on the latest testimonies that I have received in that department? Yeah, I'd say that I do. "21" [Yes, he's doing the bunny quotes] or not.
ohno! It's an opening too good not to take.-___-

Or maybe he's just lighting up a cigarette.]
Not well, actually.
[He is going to briefly congratulate himself for sounding steadier than he feels, whenever the topic comes up. Whenever the thought comes to mind.]
