Renji, Rukia:

I ran into a bit of trouble last night. May I ask for a similar favor as last time's? If you're both too busy, I understand.

Idiot. I'm the one who made the two-handed version, and I'm not a damn master. You don't get it.

Your full strength? You mean being like you were before you got brought here? When you and your fancy lights can beat me without batting a damn eye?

I'm really starting to understand you, kid. You don't have a clue what strength is, and you don't have a clue what it means to really fight.

I hope some day, some guy comes up who's stronger than you could ever be, and kicks your ass. And I hope maybe that guy will be able to open your damn eyes.

But I'm not going to waste my time of a fight like this. Not with some punk who can't understand anything.

It's already happened, Sanosuke. There are those who, in my world, can not be defeated by someone with my power, nor with yours. To say nothing of those who, in this Institute, have managed to defeat me quite handily, all my strength to the contrary.

But I am not yet so weak that I can't hold my own in an fair fight. If you can't understand that, or why this means so much to me, then perhaps it would be best for you to remain at a distance.
-Adel

Let me guess. You pouted then too, right?

I get why it means so much to escape, and I get why it means so much to be able to fight. I got left behind once because the guy thought I was a burden, and I've lost a lot of times before. What I don't understand is why you're letting it beat you, because you can hold your own.

And maybe the other thing you don't get, is that Kenshin can't have that kind of weakness going into his sword. Fuck your fancy lights. If you can't be confident, then Kenshin can't get his sakabato from you. End of story.

Sano...

What? Are you saying I'm wrong, and that you're still going to get your sword from this guy?

One out of two. He's our only option. You can't just go around alienating people, you know.

Like hell I can't. It's like every damn bit of stress I had before I went to Shinsuu's come back, and I can't even get rid of it properly this time.

I was rather unable to do much of anything, actually. And at last you finally admit that you don't understand.

As for the sakabato... he will be getting one, as I promised him. And as it is Kenshin who I am making the blade for, weakness is not what I'll be putting into the weapon. This, at least, I can do properly.
-Adel

You sure about that? You got pretty damn pissy when you couldn't do it last night. And this blade is more important that you probably realize.

There can't be any mistakes. Not one.

Not a single flaw. I have an idea of how important this weapon is, as Kenshin has informed me of some of the particulars; that is the reason I can be confident this weapon will be perfect.
-Adel

An idea, huh? Guess I've got an advantage, being from the same place as Kenshin and all. But we aren't from the same time. I'm from the future, maybe about a month or so, and I'm telling you right now that this weapon can't fail.

It fucking can't.

Remember what I said last night. Making weapons that won't fail is something I can do.
-Adel

I remember what you said. And most of it pissed me off.

So you're just going to have to live with the fact that I'm not taking you at your word.

Used to it. I'll let my results speak for me, then.
