Good man! [The battle is rejoined! Though really, this current battle isn't going to last all that much longer. The crowd's already thinning]

[Well, Riku will save any words until after the quarrel, focusing on slicing and dicing his foes until the crowd finally withers to nothing.]

[And when there's nothing left, Masaomi's first thing is-] Riku-san, get the kerosene.

[And he goes out to pull Asuma's Lighter]

I'm on it.

[Just let him wade his way through the corpses here. Once he finds the Kerosene, he'll scoop it up and toss it Masaomi's way.]

[Alright. Let's douse these corpses with a nice layer, and... He goes to crouch the light near enough to light it on fire. Fortunately, his gloves are flame retardant, but he still lights his pants up a bit. He puts it out quick, but now the air's thick with burning body smell. It's gross, honestly]

[Ugh. He picked a really bad time to wear a sleeveless top, clearly.

The smell of smoke prompts Riku to cover his mouth, stifling a cough. Man, that's nasty. The stench alone makes him wince.]

Think we should slip into another room?

[Burning corpses don't do much to set the mood, anyway.]

No. Well, you can, but I'm to stand guard outside until I can't afford to.

[For his part, he doesn't cover his mouth. It's burning his nostrils, and he probably did vomit the first time he did this... but it's necessary. He can even see some of them moving in the flames, trying desperately to keep crawling despite already being dead.

Disgusting, really.]

Hm.

[Well, there's no telling what'll happen just yet. Rather than flee, Riku leans back against a wall, eyes closed.]

Not a bad approach. For all we know, that could've just been a warm up.

Mmmhm. [He stares more into the flames. It's sort of gross, still, watching the last of people burn there. Oh well...]

Doesn't it bother you?

[Watching the fire. Watching them burn...

There's a reason why he's closed his eyes.]

I think I'd have to be soulless for it not to. But this is as close to a funeral as these SOBs are getting, right? So someone's gotta watch it.

[The movement, at least, has stopped.

But the smell, oh man the small]

A funeral...

[Hah. That's some serious irony there. But then, they weren't always mindless infected.

Maybe it is better than turning a blind eye.

All the same, Riku remains still, mouth and nose covered to block most of the stench. If only he had his powers right now...]

Yeah.

[He stares a moment longer, considering... considering...

And then he exhales. He turns to face Riku now, and-]

[And then cocks his arm back and in one swift movement she goes to punch Riku in the face]

[Riku knew it'd happen sooner or later, but he sure didn't expect it this quickly.

He clenches his jaw, wincing, but otherwise remains firmly in place. As much as that hurt, he's been through so much worse. A punch really is nothing compared to the fists of a giant Heartless or Dream Eater or Xemnas' ethereal blades.

So, once the initial shock wears off, Riku brings one hand to his cheek and shrugs.]

So, how'd that work out for you?

A-plus. [He was sort of hoping he would break something on Riku's face, but given he didn't... well, that's probably for the best. He's smiling, anyway]
