Capable of being dangerous if needed, stable enough not to unless needed.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Do you date very many unstable dangerous people that you'd need to make the distinction?

[knightbynight]

...Yes. Yes, I have.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I'm glad we have questionable taste in common.

[knightbynight]

I'm not!

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

At least I look good by comparison? Employed, moderately stable, decent fighting skills.

[knightbynight]

Not raised by an ancient cabal responsible for the fall of the roman empire and bent on the destruction of civilization.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Just partially raised by a blind ninja who wanted a soldier in some war against one of those ancient cabals.

[knightbynight]

At least you can't get pregnant and your father wanted to be on the correct side of the fight.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I do have that going for me.

It wasn't my dad. Just some other guy who came along. Don't worry, he's dead so you won't get one of those weird awkward introductions.

[knightbynight]

The woman in question was the daughter of 'some other guy who came along' who just- Well, back to the Roman Empire. It's complicated.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

It sounds complicated. Maybe sometime over dinner you'll tell me about 'back to the Roman Empire' and I'll tell you about Stick.

[knightbynight]

There's really not much to tell. Her father was the head of the cabal and did some of my training. I met her years later, did not know who she was and by the way I have a half-feral child named Damian who is in his early teens. Be careful if you meet him, he bites.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Well, that's a lot of news to take in at once.

And here I was going to tell you how Stick essentially set my college girlfriend on a path to corrupt me into killing the man who murdered my father so I'd join his stupid war and how she came back into my life only to die twice.

[knightbynight]

Wait until I try to explain Jason...

Died twice?

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Oh boy.

She died in my arms when that group of immortal ninjas murdered her. They brought her back to life because they thought she was some ancient weapon, she forgot who I was and she and I ended up in a pit underneath a building rigged with explosives. She remembered me in the end. I could have gotten out and left her but I chose to die with her. Joke's on me.

[knightbynight]

...and now I'm deeply concerned that it's the same group of ninja assassins.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Wouldn't that be a kick in the dick.

The Hand.

[knightbynight]

It's not the same name, but with overlap around 'bringing the dead back to life' and anything to do with pits I'm not sure I care.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

It was more of a hole, if that helps.

[knightbynight]

It does not.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

It was more of a "destroy a city" hole.

[knightbynight]

Why are you alive again?

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Blind luck.

I don't really remember. I woke up in the water so I presume the tunnels under the building that collapsed when it did.

[knightbynight]

I wish I didn't find the dad joke from you hot.

As long as you weren't resurrected.
