[ Well, at least that gives confirmation. And she does trust Senji in the end, 100%. So if there's anyone she knows she can fully rely on to help her once he promises to do so.. ]
Then.. will you help me out if I'll need it once there's a big fight here, Senji?
Hah.... that damn upcoming war huh? That's somethin' to think about too....
[He walks over to the bench, grabbing the coffee he had set down before and drinks it. He looks down at his cup when he speaks up next, a grin plastered on his face.]
...Just say the word, red, and I'll be there by coincidence to help you out.
By coincidence, huh? [ Yup, that sure sounds like Senji alright. It's completely what he'd say too if he ever did pop up and save her life or something like that..
But still.. she's glad. Sure, there's probably more people she can rely on here to help her out if it really came down to it, but most of them - Rudolf, Shiki - she would rather not get into danger. But she knows Senji is tough, definitely moreso than most people here.
So she can't help but smile. It's strange, having someone day that, but nice. ]
I'll be relying on you then. Hope that doesn't make you too nervous.
[Senji turns to look at her when he hears her say those words. He opens his mouth to say something but then he sees her.... actually smiling?! Oh god. He's never seen her smile before, and he's actually stunned for a second. He feels the color rise to his cheeks and he looks away.
Shit...! This is why women are dangerous-!]
...D...doesn't make me nervous, shut up already. [it's her smile that makes him nervous okay. He clears his throat, the flush leaving him at least.]
That heavy weight of responsibility will keep me goin' stronger than before, you'll see.
.. i meant to say someone LIKE that up there, what happened..
[ .. Huh? She hardly even realises what's up with him, she just raises her eyebrows as if she's just.. confused.. ]
You're sure? I'm not even teasing or whatever [ since okay, okay, she admits she does that a few times.. but that's just proof of how she gets along with him, okay. ] but you looked sort of weird for a moment there.
You looked weird too.... [THAT SMILE.] I know you're not teasing, and I'm being serious too. It doesn't make me nervous, it'll push me forward if anything.
I know. You're.. strong, Senji. [ Knowing his backstory and having him seen in action makes her sure of this fact - both physically and mentally he's stronger than her, she doesn't doubt that. ]
I bet no enemy would be a match for you in that war.
[it comes with years of training, really. Seeing his friends that he had considered to be family laying there, dead, ripped up entirely.. it had changed him so drastically.]
Cheh.... better believe it. Still-.... I ain't gonna help with the war. There are others to do that, I'm no keeper of the peace, I'm just Kiyomasa Senji. If someone wants to face me then they'll soon reach the gates of hell. [basically saying he'll kill them so fucking fast.]
Yeah, I figure you wouldn't be one to be on the frontlines. Especially not without a good reason. [ ... ] Not that it matters, I'm not particularly planning on fighting for the good of this city or whatever either. Other people who do feel like it can do that.
[Senji just smirks at that, his grin completely evident now.]
....Good. [she doesn't need to fight, he doesn't want her to anyways.] I know you at least have a brain, those fuckers that want to die so badly can go right ahead and do it for a stupid reason. They'll learn their lesson soon enough.
[ Ange probably wouldn't put it as bluntly, although honestly the sentiment she feels about it isn't that far off from it either way.. so she doesn't seem to care much about what he says. ]
It helps, either way. It means I won't have to worry about you putting your life in danger over something dumb like some people I know might.
Those kinds of people will soon find out it's not worth it to risk your life for others that are so ungrateful. They'll forget what you did for them in time.
I still remember how you saved my life after I got stabbed. [ JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW.. there are good people out there, Senji!! She's not even saying it in a smartass tone, she's just being honest. ]
[ .. OH, SHE DID HEAR THAT. Not that she's going to tease him over it or anything, she knows it's rare to hear him say that, and.. honestly, it makes her a little glad either way. She shrugs, but there's something content about her expression. ]
I finished mine. [ holding up her empty coffee cup.. ] So.. I guess I'll just go again for now.

[He turns to look at her, and even though he was frowning during his spiel here his expression is already turning into a lopsided smirk.]
They might change their mind if you don't hurry up.
