I have to ask. You always figure things out before the rest of us do.
[ mostly before Hikage, but also, like, in general. ]
This probably isn't a surprise, but the dead aren't gone. They're just being held somewhere else. That's all I've learned that's worth anything.

[ tch ]
No. But I don't think the person I heard it from was lying. There's no reason to think the directors are any more trustworthy than her, anyway.

[ and just like that, he looks annoyed again. ]
Are you going to be doing this to me, too? You're such a hypocrite.

I'm tolerating him.
[ that's as good as it's gonna get. ]
He's not good at prioritizing, and the way he acts around women is annoying. If I needed allies, I'd pick someone else.

[he smiles, though it's somber.]
I would say that he's great at prioritizing, actually.
[but he's not going to get into all of sanji's issues in grimm, so he moves on.]
Well, it's too bad. Anyone you are getting along with here, at least? Alliances can be useful.

[ why does it always feel like Steph and Belph are acting like his parents... whatever. Tragically, he likes Belph too much to really brush him off, although his brow is still furrowed in annoyance. ]
Lili seems intelligent.

[ he's easier to find when he's playing piano, that's for sure. It's hard to miss the sound when you're in the dormitory area. Normally, Hikage would knock; this time, he doesn't, for fear of interrupting Belph's playing.
The skill seems so at odds with the rest of Belph's personality - maybe that's part of why Hikage enjoys it. It's rare, to get a peek at anything genuine under the mask. ]
... It sounds good, as usual. [ naturally, he waits until Belph finishes whatever he's playing before speaking up. ] Stress relief...?

Relax. I was just asking. You're so shady that it's hard to imagine you having regular hobbies.
[ inviting himself in now, because of course he is. ]
... You really didn't get hurt by that bear? How did you pull that off?

She's practical. That's a good quality to have in a place like this.
[ he pauses, considering Belph for a moment. ]
... I bet she can't tolerate you, though.

So...? You made a gun to fight it off?
[ it's always guns with him ]

[ don't knock it 'til you've tried it dude ]
