001 ❊ He dreams of honor and strength.

[somethingtoprove]

[For a long moment, there's no sound, no movement. Nephrite just stands in the middle of a long tunnel to a dark cave, staring at his hands and his clothes as if to decide whether or not they're real. His uniform, his powers, the unusual eye and hair color-- they're all back. ...But this is a dream. Of course it is. In reality, he's nothing more than a stupid human now and he is not in the Dark Kingdom anymore. He bares his teeth, ground tight against each other in frustration. This should be a good dream, but all he is... is confused. Confused and angry and maybe even a little jealous.

He wants his role as a Shitennou back-- it's all he has. But he's not so sure he wants to obey Beryl or endure the mockery he's so sure to receive upon returning. With a loud growl, his hands ball into fists and he slams one of them into the nearest rocky surface, spraying dirt and debris.]

Even my own dreams mock me!

[Now, that just makes her laugh.]

A little slow on the uptake, aren't you?

I already started.

[He has no problems hitting girls-- evidenced by how many times he's tried to beat the snot out of the Senshi, so it's without hesitation that he summons his long sword to hand and lunges. If you don't move, Reno, he'll impale you on this sword.]

[Reno's used to being struck at. Enemies don't go easy on Turks, whether they're male or female, and she's much faster than an ordinary human, not to mention extensively trained. She darts to one side, her metal rod swinging out to meet his sword. It's held up against huge and not-quite-natural blades before.

She laughs.]

Can't take a joke, can you? But I bet there's a lot you can't take. Looks like it.
