[Even if Aone seems uncertain, his (unwelcome?) houseguest is making the decision for him.]
[He coaxes the cat to perch on his shoulder instead, freeing up his hands. It sure seems suspiciously well-behaved now. He pulls off the cloth covering the muffins, offering the open basket out to Aone.]
What's the matter? They're not poisoned, if you're worried.
[ The only reason why he's not placing one directly in his hands is- well, because cat fur.]
I'll even give you my name. [He's not some suspicious fairy offering up cakes with a price.] It's Ryousuke.
[Ryousuke observes the small pokemon with a mild expression. See, no matter how you look at it, his skitty can't be anything other a cat. It looks like a cat, acts like a cat, it's a cat. Taka-chan however...
Heeeh. [Ryousuke's only had to play volleyball in PE class, when he'd much rather be out on the baseball field, but he's familiar with the basics at least. A blocker, huh?] So defence must be your specialty.
Then we're of the same kind. [He smiles that mystifying smile of his. What an odd thing to say. Actually, based on appearances alone, they couldn't seem any more different?]
[Aone is a little confused by the statement at first, but at the mention of the shared title, his eyes widen and he looks... about as excited as a big scary guy can look.]
Iron Wall!!
[He's leaning down a little, staring hard at Ryousuke. You are also Iron Wall??? Yes? YES??]
[This is??? Really nice, actually! Another Iron Wall! Aone straightens up and looks down at Ryousuke, looking for all the world like he's trying to intimidate the smaller boy.]
Right.
[It's mostly... the fact that he feels competitive about this now! And that's a really nice feeling! He'd like to see which Iron Wall is better. Or maybe combine to make the ultimate Iron Wall! That would be something...]
ok but libero ryosan... same voice as noya... wears number 4 :OO
I can't say I know too much about volleyball, but second base and a blocker couldn't be any more different, no?
[Far too focused on the sport he can do, volleyball just doesn't pique his interest the same way. But there's enthusiasm, competitive spirit. Those things he knows all too well.]

But ... oddly enough, Aone finds himself feeling okay about accepting a muffin?]
Ryousuke.
[He nods, repeating the name to make sure it cements in his mind before reaching out to take a muffin.]
Thanks.
no subject
Aone, huh... [ He's not much of a talker, but it's a nice change of pace from some of the loud mouths on his team.]
Did you get one too?
[He reaches up to scratch Skitty perching on his shoulder. He means a pokemon, of course.]
no subject
Aone nods and then promptly goes to grab the Aron that had been wandering around near a wall, trying to figure out why things had gotten so loud...!!]
Taka-chan.
[He holds the small thing out to show it off. Look how cute, Ryousuke!!]
no subject
His smile widens.]
What's it meant to be?
[a pasta colander? not cute at all!]
no subject
Though...
Aone turns Taka-chan around and stares at him, hard. What exactly IS he supposed to be? He's a pokemon, sure, but...]
Armadillo...?
[That is so not right, Aone, what the heck.]
no subject
Wrong. Definitely wrong. [He chuckles a little, reaching out to pat the pokemon himself.]
It's like it's made of iron, amazing.
no subject
But at the word iron, Aone perks up again. And points at himself.]
Iron Wall!
[Then he looks at the Aron with a newfound delight. Taka-chan really is just like him, isn't he??]
no subject
How so? [Ryousuke's a mixture of curious and expectant. He has a hunch, if it's anything like his own given title.]
no subject
Mm. Blocker.
[He holds his hands up, looming over Ryousuke in the process, pretending like he's blocking a spike.]
Volleyball.
[That should be a good enough explanation!]
no subject
Then we're of the same kind. [He smiles that mystifying smile of his. What an odd thing to say. Actually, based on appearances alone, they couldn't seem any more different?]
We even share the same title.
no subject
Iron Wall!!
[He's leaning down a little, staring hard at Ryousuke. You are also Iron Wall??? Yes? YES??]
no subject
[He socks a fist into his open palm, missing his glove already.]
Baseball.
[It's a mirror of Aone earlier.]
There's another guy here- Kuramochi. We're the cornerstone defence. [Seidou's own Iron Wall.]
no subject
Right.
[It's mostly... the fact that he feels competitive about this now! And that's a really nice feeling! He'd like to see which Iron Wall is better. Or maybe combine to make the ultimate Iron Wall! That would be something...]

screeches softly!! so perfect!!!!!
He shakes his head.]
Defense is defense.
[That's the important part! No matter how different, it's the same idea!]
no subject
In that case, I'm sure you won't mind swapping places one day.
[This is only hypothetical. More of him poking fun, entertaining an idea than actually suggesting to go through with it.]
no subject
Aone nods!]
Okay!
[He ... will apparently swap places with Ryousuke for a day without a fight, okay.]
