[Nobunaga was throwing Jeff, Klaus, Crichton, and Vadis away?]
[Why did they think that?]
[He tries to remember the exact words. But he was too emotional. He was telling Valdis to help him or never be near him again.]
[The intent. The words --]
[He was worried about himself being thrown away. If people could throw away Skulduggery, then...]
[Skulduggery whom everyone loves WAY more than Nobunaga, the bitey snarling idiotic Demon King... Who had all the Captain's flaws that no one even Skulduggery could stand sometimes...]
If I was casting you aside, I wouldn't deliver an ultimatum, I'd just do it. I don't think anyone who can stand to let the rules stand when it hurts them, when it means sacrificing their -- other people they care about, should be near me, because it's going to get them hurt so much worse than that time. I did think K- Chr-- You Americans would understand that better. I'm not sure the cultural miscommunication still.
[Skuldude is the cutest name for him, holy shit. Jeff is cute.]
[Ahhhh.]
[Nobunaga tilts his head head.]
So you think it is about magic, not guilt or pain?
[He can accept that. He doesn't like it, but Jeff is the only person -- no well, Chase too, but that really doesn't/shouldn't count!! -- to get through to Nobunaga about magic. Bash tried once, and Nobunaga couldn't stand it!]
The fuck you're not strong! [Nobuanga only BARELY has enough self control not to kick flick the table given that could actually hurt Jeff, and not in an easily recoverable way to prove that Jeff was plenty strong. So he kicks a couple of chairs halfway across Sand Dollars!]
[He draws his sword. He wonders if he could should try peacebonding it like Erin did hers once, but he still hasn't reached that level of reducing his paranoia and wariness. Even so he points it at Jeff in challenge.]
If you're not strong, then what the hell do you think that says about everyone like me?! [Ah yes. Okay, he gets it. Only Pollux, and Teyrey had told him he underestimated people, and he revealed... no. It's always the opposite. ALWAYS. And Yato knew that Nobunaga didn't consider him weak because... fucking obviously.]
If you're not smart, then why the hell do you know so much more about everything than I do?! You're not even Ieyasu's age! [Slams the katana back in the sheathe, and just glares and growls, still standing, arms crossed furiously.]
Challenge things your way! But in the future don't forget... THAT MEANS ME TOO! Correct me when I'm wrong! I've never given you reason to fear me! [Well, not directly, but he'd gone out of his way to give Jeff, Klaus, and Crichton reasons NOT to fear him. And Valdis... he just assumed didn't fear him, but maybe he was wrong.] So stand against me if your convictions are strong enough! And if they're not, then try to see things my way! If you don't know... Just ask!
[Gives Jeff a curt but fully functional bow of respect!]
