[A pause. and then he smiles again.] Okay. ♪ [From out of the belt at his lower back, he pulls a dagger. It's pointed at Shirasu at first, though close to himself.]
It might be a little hard for me.
[But then he turns it and extends a quick arm over the cleansing bowl. There's no hesitation when he swipes the dagger hard and long from wrist to elbow. Only... the dagger whines like it's scraping stone.
The length of his forearm is somewhat jagged at the edges, like rock, and glossy.]
[Though when he looks back up, Shirasu is just. Not there.
Instead, there's a haze of vapor in the air that hangs there for several seconds, eventually reforming into a slightly disoriented Shirasu, who brushes a hand through his hair as if making sure he's solid again.]
I'll hope for the same, then. Such things are best if we're both on the same page.
[A brief pause, before-]
They also work best when others aren't aware. I'll be keeping my distance during the day, for the most part; I do have the girl I'm living with to keep an eye on as well.
[Four. There's a bit of a spark to his golden eyes which is probably somewhat concerning, but nevermind it. They're not technically Japanese, but four is the bad luck number and...???? don't worry about it it makes him excited]
I see. It would be unfortunate if you got into trouble. Am I supposed to vouch for you?
I'm not concerned. Just curious. [Would Hisoka sell Shirasu to Satan for one corn chip? Yea. But, like, the feeling is mutual? It's fine.] If you say so.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga is my roommate. He's a little strange. He isn't a worry.
Ah. It's his sword. [Gently, he taps his chin with a nailed finger.] Hmm. He was looking for it, and found it in our house. He said he was one with it, and he was surprise it had been so easily taken away.
He's a little stupid, if I'm honest. But when I tried to test him, he was quick. He seems to be a swordsman by how he moves.
There's another, too. Ookurikara. His scroll is the same.

[The distrust is mutual. But that's okay.]
Alright. I accept.
[It'll be fun.]
no subject
[That gets an approving nod, and while it can't really be called a smile, one corner of his mouth curves faintly.]
If we're in agreement, then-- shall we share?

Surprise. ♠

[He does sound slightly impressed, as well-- it's not a bad choice at all. Practical, he thinks.]
As for mine-
[There's a pause as he focuses, makes a brief gesture of his hand-
And the water in the bowl splashes Hisoka.
also I need to know for my next tag if he's looking at Shirasu the whole time or looking away at any point there thanks in advance]
listen i misread because i automatically assumed trolling
There's no reason not to look or anything, so when the water laps out of the bowl, he absolutely turns his head to glance down inside of it.
???]
...Water?

...that one's certainly something.

Haaa. I'm a little jealous. Being able to vanish, how exciting. I don't know if I should trust you now or not...
no subject
[He takes a moment to brush himself off as well, making extra sure he's all in one piece. That's a very odd feeling, honestly.]
Besides, you have the ability to protect yourself, don't you?
no subject
I suppose. Partnerships are like a marriage, you know. I hope I don't find any infidelity.

Ahh. Playing hard to get until we meet in the night. How fun. [The earrings jingle when he tilts his head curiously.] Who? Should I be jealous?
no subject
Four. I don't think you have much to worry about-- though I did say I'd help look after her, if we're going to be living in the same place.
She says she has difficulty sleeping at times, so she may notice if I'm gone, but I'll find an explanation if I have to.
no subject
I see. It would be unfortunate if you got into trouble. Am I supposed to vouch for you?

[He'd rather handle his own roommate-- particularly considering that look in Hisoka's eyes. Hm.]

[says.... says hisoka]
no subject
[A thoughtful little tilt of his head, as he finds somewhere to perch.]
His name's interesting, if nothing else.
no subject
His name? Why?
no subject
[He just hasn't had the opportunity to ask about it, yet.]

[What is with these nonhumans, honestly. Not like he's never run into them before, but they do complicate things.]
The universe certainly has a taste for variety, doesn't it?
no subject
[He smiles, but, like, to himself and stuff.]
no subject
[that comes with Exactly the face in the icon, tbh.]

no subject
[Shirasu is definitely less deadpan there, though-- that's caught his interest.]
If you're able to, and you require a neutral party... well, at the least, I'd like to know what you learn from it.
[but he'd also really like to observe. save him the trouble of feeling them out himself, thanks.]
no subject
But if you're interested...
