"But anyway, I can't believe that you've met up with miss uptight there and ended as cannon fodder for her to retrieve little ball of burning temper, Ferris. I hope that she came to her senses and gave Ferris back to you after you exit this dungeon together. A god-tier item is good and all, but it means no shit if you're dead."
Ryu remained silent. He just let Kai rumble on and on like he usually does. It was comforting to know that he was still the same blubber mouth like he was before.

something he was familiar with.
The thick scent of blood.
