[ The amount of question marks that sprout over his head. ]

I'm sorry? What is that supposed to mean?

[nobraincell]

It means that attacking me with everything you have could be a good training exercise for you.

[Look how serious he is!!]

[banworthy]

[ That's too serious!! ]

And you'll just let me?

[nobraincell]

Why not?

[A pause—not in his running, just in the speaking.]

Unless you're using one of those gun things. I'd appreciate if you avoided that.

[banworthy]

[ Huff-huff-huff. ]

Do I look like I know how to handle one of those things?

[nobraincell]

I wouldn't know. Are they hard to handle?

[banworthy]

[ Since he's seen a teenager use them -- ]

I think one just points and pulls the trigger, but either way, they're loud.

[nobraincell]

So you're not a fan of loud noises. That's fair.

[It sounds easy otherwise! Just point and shoot! Right?]

[banworthy]

There are a vexation to the soul.

[nobraincell]

That bad? Have you tried plugging your ears?

[Is Vincent watching where he's going while they jog and talk at the same time...]

[banworthy]

They're louder than your hands can cover.

[ He's pointing his finger at Chu Wenshan. ]

If you're saying working out somehow made your ability to cover ears better --

[ He isn't sure what he'd do!! ]

[nobraincell]

[Chu Wenshan would shake his head at this, but that's not the best move to make when you're jogging.]

Actually, training might have made my ears more sensitive. I can pick out individual sounds from a good distance away.

[banworthy]

[ He's so glad he wasn't told something ridiculous like a person could become really good at covering their ears. ]

So, you're saying a loud noise might incapacitate you?

[nobraincell]

I don't know. It hasn't happened yet, at least.

[Is Vincent gonna try that...]

[banworthy]

Well, be wary of that, Chu Wenshan! If you can be taken out that easily, do you understand what an inconvenience it would be for others?

[ No! ]

[nobraincell]

..................................No?

[He knows nothing!!]

[banworthy]

Well, try to figure it out! That's your homework!

[ Since his is jogging!!! ]

[nobraincell]

What's homework?

[Teach him, sensei!?]

[banworthy]

It's doing something without someone watching.

[ A beat. ]

That they told you to do.

[nobraincell]

So...chores.

[Same difference, right?]

[banworthy]

[ You know what? ]

Yeah, sure.
