[ it was obviously a joke but hikage's still frowning. ]
I'm not doing that anymore... No, I can't do that anymore. [ even if he tried to go back to living that way, he doesn't think he'd be able to enjoy it the way he used to - he's been forced to remember that there's more to life, and now he has people he doesn't want to let down, too. ] ... I don't like being kidnapped. They should deal with the consequences of their actions or try harder to blend in if they don't want to be treated differently.
[both for hikage's sake and, like, everyone else's.]
Not getting defensive takes a certain level of graciousness. People like Dragon and Tiger had been dealing with people like us for who-knows-how-long, so they were probably used to it, but that isn't necessarily the case here.
[ to kill - it's a muttered addition. he remembers!! not that he could forget. how rare is it for someone to not only care about hikage's life, but the way he lives it...? he only hopes he can meet those expectations. belph's, steph's, and his little sister's, too. ]
In any case, knowing I'm being governed by a bunch of amateurs only makes me feel more annoyed.
[belph is honestly amazed that anyone would listen to anything he says, but. again, he's glad.]
Yes, I'm sure that must irk you, the experienced master at this. You'll just have to put up with it. I don't consider the directors easy to deal with either, but it's easier to change your own attitude than to change others', etc.

And because they're only human, dude. Or not human. Who knows? But same gist. People generally don't like being yelled at.
