[ all good points, tbh, but some of them definitely just don't match up because...well. there's something else in the mix. ]

It's entirely plausible that the fight happened across multiple places. If someone's attacked they have either a fight or flight response.

[holeful]

Well, based on the shield, I think his choice definitely wasn't fight...

[nodo]

Not everyone is willing to fight.

[holeful]

And which sort are you, doctor?

[nodo]

If someone wants to start a fight with me, I'm not going to run away.

[holeful]

Haha, what happened to "first do no harm"?

[This is a joke he knows that's not how it works.]

[nodo]

[ he gets the joke(??) but he just moves on regardless. ]

I can't help anyone if I can't help myself.

[holeful]

Ah, it was just a joke, you know. You don't have to be so serious all the time.

[A MAN IS DEAD, FUKUDA?]

[nodo]

[ a man is, indeed, dead and law is just like this.... ]

I know, but it didn't change my answer.

[holeful]

You know, I'm starting to wonder what your smile might look like, doctor.

[nodo]

[ ??? ]

What does that have to do with anything?

[holeful]

Well, you're just always so serious and gloomy, is all. It reminds me of my partner.

[nodo]

Good for you.

[ he isn't always serious and gloomy...just...99% of the time. ]

[holeful]

[Hm. He's just going to keep talking.]

Aah. But he's a good man, the same as you. He used to be a detective. I'm not quite sure what happened, but I know his wife and daughter died. I can only assume that's why he's in such a terrible mood now.

[nodo]

[ go...do you, fukuda. law will let you talk. he makes a noncommittal noise about the assumption that a man would be grumpy after losing their wife and child. law has... well, it's not shocking.

feel free to fill the air between them, fuckda. ]

[holeful]

[HE!!!! WILL!!!! Soon they will be at the tea room and law will have a reason to make him stop.]

He really gives off the aura that he's a scary and dangerous guy, but I've seen him at night, the way he stares at his pictures... He does have a heart, but he's locked it away. And I mean, his work speaks for itself.

[nodo]

[ what if law never gives him a reason to stop though??? it's not like fukuda is saying anything particularly offensive to him. though, he's almost surprised that he has this much knowledge and concern about a single person.

amazing...... law makes a noncommittal noise initially but then wonders if he should he offer some sort of comment? well, it will depend on how much longer fukuda keeps going. ]

[holeful]

[Oh, it's fine, he'll tee Law up to have something to say as they reach the tea room;]

I'm no good with people, really... but that's why I was wondering. Because I think you're a good man, too, but you're all locked up. You must've been someone who smiled once. It's natural to want to see something rare especially if it's been lost.

[nodo]

[ closes eyes.... he'll get a comment before they reach the tea room but it won't amount to much. if only, well, obvious as to why. ]

That's a lot of assumptions you're making.

[holeful]

Haha. Well, I can only make assumptions until you tell me otherwise, doctor.

[nodo]

I'm not going to talk about things like that.

[ shame, so guess assumptions it will be. ]

[holeful]

Things like what?

[IMPLYING THERE ARE THINGS!]

[nodo]

About myself.

[ he'll speak in generalizations but nothing in specifics. ]

[holeful]

That rules out a lot of conversation topics, you know...

[nodo]

[ exactly??? but... ]

I'm not here to share stories about myself. Nothing too personal.
