well that's certainly a role model

"It's usually better than leading with force, yes."

Who said anything about goodwill? Geddoe simply sees value in keeping negotiations civil, for quite a few reasons. Even if he sure looks more the type who's well-acquainted with negotiations at swordpoint.

"A lot less risky, too."

That's not a threat, but it is a warning. He won't hesitate to defend himself if it seems necessary.

[torinoko]

"Less risky" is an illusion I don't have the time to bother with.

[She snorts a bit. She doesn't believe in the manners of others. Can't be surprised if you're always ready to fight.]

This wasn't really what I'd have called force.

[lightningbearer]

Geddoe is frankly not even going to dignify that first part with a reply. It's really not worth the bother with such egotistical types. Especially those who lack the perception--or desire to make the effort--to assess a situation before diving in.

"Then that just means you jumped into something without having a clue what you were doing or dealing with. Keep that up and of course no one would be willing to talk reasonably."

He has to treat any unexpected attempt to get at True Lightning as an attempt on his life. Because ordinarily, that's precisely what it is, in effect. He wouldn't fault a stranger for not knowing what the rune is, but acting so carelessly? Yeah, that had been entirely uncalled for and unnecessary, and the whole 'I did nothing wrong' attitude sure isn't endearing him.

[Unfortunately, Misaki is a shitty cat to the depths of her soul, and while she's noticed Geddoe's displeasure she...doesn't actually care.]

The same could be said of you, couldn't it? You don't know who I am, or anything about my capabilities--I'd wager I know more about yours than you do about mine. Your reaction gives much and more away about that thing on your hand.

[She snorts, but she's already starting to turn her attention back to the books.]

Subtlety was never any concern of mine, but you could stand to learn to lie about how important things are to you.

in which Geddoe finally opts for the most sensible course of action.... XD

[lightningbearer]

If she was intending to get some sort of reaction out of Geddoe, well, she entirely missed the mark. In fact, he's not even going to bother correcting certain false assumptions; it works in his favor to have an obviously unfriendly--if at least not openly hostile--person misjudge him, after all.

"..... If you say so."

And with that he's turning to leave, not interested in further wasting his time. She's been warned he won't tolerate any more attempted aggression, even if he didn't quite say it in so many words. Though he's still highly on alert in case she tries something, of course. One advantage (if it can even be called that...) to having a blind side is learning to compensate with other senses, and Geddoe's paying close attention for any sign of potential pursuit.
