[Given Shun's picking up method of choice tends to be slinging people over his shoulder, he's prepared not to be choosy where this is concerned. He wants it over with as little fuss as possible, and when Suijin asks her question, he just inclines his head.]

Of course. [He's likely to tense up when she actually makes contact, but that's just a reflexive thing. There's not a lot he can do about that.]

[So without further ado, she bends down slightly, sweeps her long kimono sleeves out of the way, grasps him gently but tightly around the waist, and lifts his feet from the ground.

As this puts their faces rather close together despite the veil, she looks away over his shoulder as she counts slowly and evenly to three, her expression carefully blank. She then sets him down again.]

That should be long enough?

[revolutionfalcon]

[It hadn't entirely occured to Shun the position he'd end up in with that choice of lifting technique, and though he's a little too proud to turn his head away from her, his gaze unfocuses a little. It's more like he's looking through her than at her, and his expression is just as blank (if still a little frustrated he even had to do this at all) as hers.

When she puts him down, he nods again, smoothing out his coat slightly.]

That's fine. I don't know why anyone bothered asking for that in the first place.

[sweetspringwater]

If you cannot think of a reason, I have even less of a chance of imagining one.

[She admits that with a small smile. It does seem rather pointless.]

Hopefully any further challenges you get are more interesting than that.

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun concedes that point with a low hiss.] True. I'm not sure why you'd even choose to get involved in the first place.

[He's not particularly reassured by most of what he's seen today, though, and he gives her half a shrug.]

Most of what people have approached me for is just as ridiculous. I'm not counting on it getting any better.

[sweetspringwater]

[Folding her arms she asks consideringly,]

If you can choose to join at any time, can you not chose to quit at any time as well?

[revolutionfalcon]

In theory, but most people consider stepping down from this sort of thing a sign that you're too cowardly to do what's asked. If it's just stupid but harmless enough, there's no real point to stepping out.

[Because that just invites even more stupidity he'd really rather not have to deal with.]

[sweetspringwater]

[Suijin's painted red lips turn up in a faint grin.
Quitting rather is out of the question then, isn't it. For herself, she would have stuck it out even without knowing this.]

You're right. It is harmless enough, if still pointless and ridiculous.

[Humans are so curious that way-!]

[revolutionfalcon]

[In any case, Shun figures they both have better things to do than prolong this game any longer than necessary, so he nods to Suijin before turning away, glancing at her over his shoulder.]

I suppose we might see each other again today. At least we can both hope this'll be short.

[sweetspringwater]

[Suijin raises a hand to thoughtfully cover her small smile.]

Indeed so.
