Forest Grump (Daniel)

[Lepa]

Did he say... he fought crime? Hmph. Viveka found that hard to believe. Granted, he did show up intending to challenge that girl's little villain speech, but... his personality simply didn't suit someone Vivi would call "heroic." Especially when he began to accuse her of fighting unfairly...!

"Even with the warning you gave that girl," She angrily protested. "She clearly had no desire or intention of fighting back!" Vivi grit her teeth again. "You think I would let that continue? No. So I had to act immediately. I fight in the defense of others, or myself, you understand?" She spat, looking away. "So that was fair game..." The woman grumbled. Her expression was almost a childish pout, but her scowl was enough to keep it full of disdain. She did manage to catch Daniel's guitar case antics out of the corner of her eye, but her irritation overrode any sort of awe he hoped to inspire.

"Just... forget it." Vivi groaned, storming off.

[The Izzack]

"Just remember, Vivi: It's always fair when you do it! That's the motto of the thinking man!" Daniel called after Vivi as she ran off again. "Meanwhile, dinguses like me will be kicking up a storm shouting 'I'm a bad boy and proud of it!' Life's more fun that way! I'll catch you for a rematch when I see ya next, sweetcheeks!" he balanced his case on one finger as he walked off in the opposite direction.

This was a good day, all things considered. Good fights, good banter, good times. Life was good for Daniel. Wait, what was the time?

Daniel was supposed to be back at work, like, a couple of hours ago.

Daniel decided that he was too sick to work.
