[That

is actually some hilarious wording and Naegi will feel a small burst of amusement before he tucks it away.]

Yeah, that seems to be how he's treatin' it anyway. But I wouldn't worry about it! I'm actually pretty sturdy, y'know. Even he knows better than to toss any random person off of walls and rooftops and that sorta thing.

[Is he implying this is in fact a thing that has happened?

Yes. Yes he is.]

[luckyhood]

[Even though he's a little surprised by what he hears, Naegi can't help smiling a little at the burst of amusement. He won't say anything about it, though.]

I never even realized... Hizumi-san, you must be really strong, you know? You'd have to be, in order to come away from something like that still in tact. Somebody like me would be practically in pieces afterwards.

[He shudders a little bit at the thought. He does want to build up some strength sometime soon, but he doesn't want to get... well, smooshed, either.]

[Would he be smiling if he knew why Hizumi was amused is the question...]

Eh? Well, I guess so... I've been trainin' for a long time with him, so he's usually pretty fair about makin' sure he only puts me through stuff I can survive.

...Actually, come to think of it, he probably started pushin' me off of ledges to make sure I could survive those, too...

[He says this as though he didn't know for certain that was exactly the reason.]

[luckyhood]

E-even pushing you off of ledges?!

[Some mixture of concern and shock rushes through him, and it's strong enough that it might just carry over through the crystal.]

That just... sounds so drastic. It's amazing you were able to survive, Hizumi-san... And you wanted to remain his student after all of that?

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, he'd been my teacher a long time before that anyway. He's tough, but fair, y'know? It's not like he's tryin' to kill me or anythin'.

[Oh... There's a ripple in the connection as something catches his attention.]

Ahh, better get back to socializin' here. Catch you later!
