What.

[moneyballer]

I need you to do me a solid.

[He forces his hands into his pockets.

Whatever this request is, it's making him nervous. Asher shifts closer, still speaking in a """hushed""" tone.]

Can you make it look like I hit you? Like in the face?

[pummelling]

[......................]

Is this a weird dare, or something? Just tell me what they actually wanted you to do.

[moneyballer]

Ugh.

[Asher looks around, as if to check that they are really alone before continuing. He rubs the back of his neck nervously, pausing as he tries to collect himself.]

Someone dared me to hit somebody? I dunno about you man, but that's definitely not how I plan to roll.

[pummelling]

[UTTERLY DEADPAN:]

Then hit me.

[moneyballer]

[Appalled, he steps back, wrinkling his nose derisively.]

What? No.

No, I can't do that.

[pummelling]

How're you going to hit an enemy if you can't punch a guy who's asking you to hit him?

[stepping back? jin's stepping forward, getting right back into asher's face.]

Hit. Me.

[moneyballer]

[Asher shies away immediately, avoiding Jin's gaze. His shoulders tense up and his gaze falters.

It's clear that the very notion of violence makes him uncomfortable.]

[pummelling]

[There's a flicker of worry in Jin's face for a moment, and he presses his lips together tightly before frowning once more.]

Using a weapon's even worse than this. You have to get used to it.

[And, his tone lightening, but only just:]

Come on. It doesn't have to be that hard.

[moneyballer]

[He gives the other a reluctant look, contemplating his choices. Make no mistake, Asher can in fact throw considerably mean punch after spending all that time in the gym, but it's the sentiment behind the gesture that bothers him. This is a man and not a punching bag strung from the ceiling, not an object but a living, breathing person.

Violence is not how he prefers to handle things, but here it seems as though he has no choice.

And so he aims very feebly for Jin's cheek, although there is no heart in whatever blow he delivers. Jin will feel Asher's fist very lightly brush his face, and in another context it would simply resemble a moment where the older man was teasing him.]

[pummelling]

[when Asher's knuckles graze his cheek, Jin simply rolls his eyes.

He's soft: too soft, he worries, for what ALASTAIR will eventually throw at him. They'll have to work on this later, if Asher wants to make it out alive. For now, though... it'd been a dare, and, technically, he's fulfilled it.]

Well... it's a start. I guess.

[moneyballer]

[There is darkness lurking deep within. A dangerous kind of contempt, fiery, unbridled.

He has yet to unlock such a murderous thing.

For right now, Asher closes his eyes as he inhales deeply. His chest heaves upwards and then downward shortly after, and he places his hands on his hips as he calms down.

This is not where he belongs. But then again, he doesn't really fit in at home either. Where should he be? He hopes that someday he'll find out.]

[pummelling]

[That's not the typical reaction for someone who's grazed another person's face with a 'punch'.

As much as he wants to comfort Asher... it's not going to do him any good. He doesn't deserve to be coddled: he should get the same toughness and trial by fire that anyone else would get.]

Make me feel it next time. There is going to be a next time, by the way.

[This dumbass isn't going to die on his watch.]

[moneyballer]

[Ugh. Sparring with people who are way stronger and cooler than him. Fun!!! Almost as fun as the verbal smackdowns he's gotten used to enduring daily.]

Yeah.

[One day he'll be good at something.

He'll make sure of it.]

We'll see.
