 [If you happen to be around the fountain in the morning, you will witness a curious sight: A shirtless young man, clearly in his late teens, halfway comfortably sprawled inside the fountain, wet and not particularly caring about it. Right after he dropped there, one might find him with a journal on his face, which he stares at for a long, long time before finally deigning to pull it off his face and reveal features that might be familiar to some of the inhabitants of the village. Very, very familiar.

Mihawk is back, and even though it seems like he only got a shave, he's in truth a couple decades younger than he was when he was taken last week. Approach with caution, he has no filters. Which is demonstrated pretty easily when he finally pulls himself off the fountain - only to sit at the rim instead - and starts fiddling with the journal.

Half-lidded golden eyes stare at the camera, then.]

...well shit. That sure just happened. If there's a record for greatest hangover ever, I think I just broke it.

[He snorts, smirking. Behold the sight of Dracule Mihawk being young enough to actually emote.]

Smashed it, really.

[niceguypose]

Yes, you have much to look forward to. You will be most handsome for many years to come.

[thrillthirsty]

[Squinting. So much squinting.]

...thanks? I guess?

[There's a pause.]

I feel like I should point out you're really not my type.

[niceguypose]

I am not? But the other time I met you, you agreed to... [Clearly he's speaking in a sparring context. Lee has no idea what he could otherwise mean.] Nevermind, it is not relevant in this time. But then what do you seek in a partner?

[thrillthirsty]

[Mihawk just sort of squints at him. He has the faintest notion they're having two completely unrelated conversations, but this isn's an entirely new feeling for him, all things considered. He was tempted to just deadpan 'not a redhead', but refrained. Instead he shrugged.]

I'll know when I see them.

[niceguypose]

Would it sway your opinion if I showed you my moves? After all... your older self accepted me openly!

[thrillthirsty]

...he did?

[...er.]

[niceguypose]

Indeed. I had to tell him some things first, about my dreams, but he soon agreed to meet with me. And it was a most fulfilling experience.

[thrillthirsty]

...oh.

[W E L P. Things he never thought he'd ever find out about himself.]

[niceguypose]

Exactly. And I would be honored if you extended such an opportunity to me at your age as well. Perhaps I could even teach you some of my moves!

[thrillthirsty]

Huh.

[ a w k w a r d ]

Maybe, though I'm pretty sure there's like. A protocol for how this works. Not that I don't like the boundless enthusiasm and straightforward thing, mind. But yeah. Buy a guy a drink first, at least.

[niceguypose]

I suppose I could bring you a beverage. Then again... the best protocol for this situation is pure impulse!

What if we just do it right now?! RIGHT HERE, IN THE FOUNTAIN!

[thrillthirsty]

...see, that's what the drink's for. Get you in the mood to be impulsive and shit.

[niceguypose]

But we youths, we are impulsive by nature! Drinking would only - it would make me ashamed of what I would do!

[thrillthirsty]

...I think you've got this youth thing backwards.

[niceguypose]

No, that cannot be! Gai-Sensei taught me everything I know to use my youth at full power! I just have to show you my ability. Shall I perform a Dynamic Entry?

[thrillthirsty]

...nah, that's okay.

[Mihawk gives Lee a side-look.]

I'll take your word for it.

[niceguypose]

So you really will not spar with me?
