The Silent Hero and the Far East Phenom meet

OOC: Korean Dragon used with permission.

[We see Tanno and Korean Dragon in a room made out of ebony. A fire is burning in a fireplace on the background. Large paintings are on the walls. The place is clearly owned by a rich person. KD is sitting at an antique table on an antique chair, while Tanno is standing, leaning on the table]

Tanno [gesturing wildly]: Listen Dragon, I want to make one thing clear. I did NOT save you because I like you now. I still don't like you. It wouldn't surprise me if I'd hate you for the rest of your life. But I couldn't stand there and watch you get beaten up. I'm called The Silent Hero for a reason.

KD: It hurts me to see that we're still not friends, but if that's your decision, fine. Know however that we will HAVE to co-operate at Aftershock, whether you like it or not.

Tanno: I'm willing to do that. Though I can easily take out those two traitors, the team of us will work better. There's one thing that worries me though.

KD: You always got something worrying you.

[Tanno suddenly slams the table with his flat hands, and looks KD straight in the eyes]

Tanno: YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU [bleep]ING DISRESPECTFUL BRAT! I CAN ALSO LET YOU GO OUT AGAINST THOSE TWO ON YOUR OWN!

KD: Whoa, relax, relax. You're worried about Stephen PS. I can understand that. But I'm sure that he won't screw us over. After all, he doesn't have any business in this.

[Tanno keeps his pose for a few more seconds, then eases and straightens up, after which he goes to sit himself]

Tanno: ...You insulted him. He might not be wanting to screw me, but perhaps he'll screw you.

KD: I'll agree that he remains an inconstant factor, but why would Xavier-

Tanno: -that's Mr. Pendragon for you.

KD: ...Mr. Pendragon place someone who we can't trust in our match? That would make no sense at all.

Tanno: The world doesn't make sense, Dragon. It makes zero sense.

[Tanno gets a bottle of rum, takes a beer glass, and fills it completely with rum. He then drinks it empty in just one sip, and offers KD some, who refuses with a slightly terrified look on his face. Tanno shrugs and pours himself a second glass of pure rum]

Tanno: Doomsday... is coming.
