Jerk? My, isn't that a bit harsh? I'm just being honest!
[needlessly honest to the point of tactless for his own amusement... but honest. or something like that. he really does have a tendency to be a jerk, though she may fare better when dealing with him at another time.
when he's wielding a sword, souji's little more than a monster out for blood. in this case, that's probably not much of a bad thing — considering they've got not just one dragon, but two to contend with. his gaze strays from the dragon that still writhes from his last hit for a moment, keeping a careful watch on what mary's doing.
for all his shittalk, he doesn't really intend on letting her get hurt. he's not a totally bad guy, after all.]
Really, if you want to make those kinds of hits, try to find a place where they can't get to you easily. [he won't deter mary from her attempts to help, but he doesn't really want her in the direct line of fire, either. he's not terribly concerned about himself.... even as he gets knocked back by the tail of the other dragon. there's a loud snap as he hits the ground, and souji looks pained for a moment. something definitely broke upon impact from the sheer innate strength of the dragons.
...but mary may notice that after only a minute or two, he's laughing on the ground and giving a deadly look to the perpetrator. he isn't yet getting up (and realistically, how could he, right?), but that doesn't seem to bother him.] Oh? Did you think you'd take me down that easily?
