"Vatheon, an annoying bubble under the sea." Silver crossed his arms, not shifting from where was sitting at a table. Drink in hand and feet up on it, it looked like he'd been there a while; He had, people watching out of boredom. He did eye other man, smirking a bit. Damn but this newcomer had even longer red hair than he did. "How often do you get mistaken for a female?"

Silver did not give a damn that he was antagonising someone who could kick his arse many times over.

[smellsgirly]

He managed soft smirk at that, and Silver's remark only strengthened his wit, or at least his willingness to strike out with it. He pointed out with deliberate dryness, "It must be stronger than a bubble, or I do not think either of us would be standing."

As for the actual question, he was simply choosing to ignore that. It was hardly worth his time to answer, after all.

[brbstealingpknm]

"Hmph. It's a bubble that the damned coral takes some our energy to maintain." Silver sounded like it was normal, but there was still resentment in his voice, mostly in his eyes though.

A pause, then this time a bigger smirk. Let's see if he can push your buttons, Kurama. "I'll just assume a yes to my question then. Not that I can blame them."

And then a nonchalant sip of his drink.

[smellsgirly]

There wouldn't be any luck there. If it would become an issue, then Kurama would simply cut it off now. His smirk faded into a patient smile.

"Not really. The length of my hair has led to some confusion, but it is not a common occurrence."

He allowed a pause, intending to seal the matter with it before inquiring casually, "So, energy is taken from us to keep this city from being overtaken by the ocean?

Silver knew a lost cause when he saw one. There would be other chances after all; no use in trying to get a rise out of the guy about his hair.

Though he did give a 'I just said that, moron' look to Kurama then nodded. "Yes. It also cuts whatever powers you have in half." Silver's scowl said that he was more than a little peeved about that, though he didn't offer up any more explanations.

[smellsgirly]

"...Now that could be troublesome, couldn't it?"

He almost seemed to be musing, for the first time showing genuine concern, but despite his distracted appearance, he kept his eyes on Silver thoughtfully. His next words were meant as a subtle inquiry.

"Though it depends, I suppose, on how often we might need whatever powers we have."

[brbstealingpknm]

"And annoying."

Silver paused a bit then shrugged and shoved his hands in his pockets, a glimpse of the red and white pokeballs on his belt before they were hidden again. "Given the level of stupidity and some of the things that happen in this moronic place, I'd say often enough that it get's annoying."

[smellsgirly]

"Normally, I would say that is lucky. I think it is important to keep in mind that annoyance and danger are different things, after all."

Kurama still had that air of thoughtfulness about him, but it might have begun to seem as if Silver's previous remarks had not been entirely forgotten.

"However, if that is not being accounted for, it presents what could be a serious situation.
