[ Nishitani listens as well. He can tell Roland's just not seeing how cool he is, how he's been through hell and come out stronger. If all he can see are his flaws, then Nishitani will just have to point out his strengths. That's fine, honestly, Nishitani can do that over and over again. (He'd want to do other things too, but maybe after this.)

Finally, when Roland finishes off and says he'd like to try, Nishitani breaks into a grin. ]

Better than you? When ya can kick my ass? No fuckin' way.

[ He chuckles. Guess what you're getting yanked forward by your lapels, Roland. Nishitani leans towards him over the table, pulling himself closer so they're nearly nose to nose. ]

Only thing disappointin' me so far is that we ain't kissed yet.

[ He is going to lean the rest of the way and fix that problem right now, thank you very much. So enjoy your kiss, there's probably already tongue involved, I'm not sorry. ]
