[ Wow, Genji's almost offended. ] I was perfectly polite in response to you threatening me. [ He puts his hands on his hips. ] What more do you want?

[ A pause as he eyes his lit up hand. ] Self-righteous I will concede, at least.

[Dodger cocks his head. If he really wanted to, he could probably light that armor up in flames. His own body isn't the limit for conjuring flames out of thin air. But burning him alive wouldn't have the same satisfaction as shoving his fist through the man's ribs. And that has him inching closer as he speaks.]

"People aren't territory". "People aren't things to control". You know that's all bullshit, don't you? [He shrugs.] Everything and everyone is property. Whether you own and control yourself is up to you - but Miyata is mine, and he's not making a move to stop that. Which means that it's up to me to make sure problematic people like you get out of my way before you become an issue. Just like any good business transaction. Understand?

[ His ribs are mostly metal and well protected, so good luck with that plan. Genji just looks at him as he speaks and... hm. What a mess this guy is. Looks like Dodger is going to be more of a pain than Genji initially thought.

He wonders how he acts around Shigeru... he seemed to like him. Is he manipulating him? Or is this just a case of extreme jealousy? Genji isn't a fan of either. ] I don't tend to say things I don't mean.

[ Genji's posture is a little more serious, shoulders even and ready. ] But I think if you care about Shigeru, then you would let him spend his time however he pleases.

[ One last chance, at least. ] He considers you a friend, so I don't exactly want to fight you.

Miyata doesn't know what's good for him. And more importantly, I've given you plenty of times to thank me for letting you borrow what's mine, and I'm damn sick of you acting like he's something you can just play with when you want. As soon as you stop spouting all this morality and good vibes bullshit, and learn to respect me, we'll stop having an issue.

[He sees that battle stance, though. God, he's been itching for a proper fight, he barely needs a good reason for it.]

So stop making excuses, and either back down or fight for your ideals.

[ Genji tilts his head slightly. ] You truly do not understand the concept of friendship, do you? What a pity.

[ He rolls his shoulder. ] I'm not one for meaningless fights and I don't exactly have anything to prove to you. [ The mechanisms in Genji's left hand whirr as he readies the shurikens under it, just in case. ] But talking doesn't seem to be what you came here to do, is it?

Don't play dumb with me, you piece of shit.

[Both of his arms ignite, and he takes the cigarette from his mouth to crush and burn it in his hand and release the ash.

He doesn't expect Genji to take the first hit, so he takes the initiative
- he teleports closer again, this time aiming a punch at Genji's head but pulling it at the last second and aiming another at where he guesses the man's stomach will be when he dodges.]

[ The teleport thing is also a bit of a surprise, and it does leave Dodger a bit of an advantage. Genji does manage to dodge it just barely with a flash of green light, leaving a smoking scorch mark across his abdomen.

It also burns through the shirt he's wearing. He stumbles a bit while regaining his footing and groans. ] I liked this shirt!

[Well, at least he landed a hit. That's better. The problem is that he knows he'll run out of energy if he abuses his teleportation too much, but he can't be sure how much energy Genji has.]

Oh, shut up. [He gets his bearings again for a moment, before rushing forward again to try and grab him with his skin super-heated until it glows.]
