I ask, as you made it sound like a qualification among your peers.
I wouldn't say that quitting the exorcism business is impossible as a rule, but perhaps for me. Therefore, there is no hypothetical. Likewise, trust. An exorcist cannot have any gaps.
I find the differences in our industries interesting.
Materia is a crystallized form of elemental energy. When wielded by one with appropriate training, it allows the user to harness a fragment of the planet's power to perform a limited number of spells.
Crystallized magic? Why, Tseng-san, so you are talented with magic use after all.
I am always interested in learning about new forms of spellcasting, so of course I accept. Although I do hope you understand that if you wish to use me as your guinea pig, I reserve the right to do the same.
I don't intend to use offensive magic on you, and so correspondingly I expect that you will give me the same courtesy. If you agree to those terms, you have a deal.
Hmmm. I wonder if you would consider bindings "offensive"? I am knowledgeable in many forms of magic, but only some are effective on humans. Of course, if you find that you dislike it, I would cease. Does that pique your curiosity?
Ah, but I don't feel the need to dare you. I think that my offerings are enticing enough without needing to herd you into them.
[It's true! He just doesn't know how spicy that answer is yet.]
Please tell me one sexual act or desire you've yet to fulfill.
[In the back of his mind: it's cute that they're both giving these softball questions, when either one could easily try to go for the first blood. But that would really be breaking the comfortable alliance, now wouldn't it.]

Unnecessary. But thank you for fulfilling the request.
Turks? Is that what you call your military organization, Tseng-san?
no subject
You should have been more specific.
It is. Formally, we are the Administrative Research sector of the General Affairs department; informally, we are the Turks.
no subject
But you know, Tseng-san, I am surprised to hear you say that. Particularly in a setting such as this. Is trust so important among Turks?
no subject
Trust is essential, yes. The nature of the work we do demands it.
[ granted, they mostly trust each other and, like, nobody else... ]

By the way, do you intend to play?
no subject
I may as well. Is it my turn to ask, or yours?
no subject
I did just complete a dare, but it wasn't given by you, was it? Since I gave the invitation, it is only fair that I begin.
Please give me a dare as well, Tseng-san.
no subject
All right. My dare is for you to allow me to use a materia on you in the next month or so.

That said, are you asking for a dare this turn?
no subject
And you are correct that I don't need to be herded into accepting your offer.
I'll take a dare, yes.
no subject
My dare is: the next time you find yourself satisfying your needs in private, to message me instead.
I think it would be an interesting discussion.
[Insofar as sexting is a discussion]
no subject
I'll remember to do that. I'm sure the discussion would be tantalizing indeed.
no subject
I'm glad. Why don't I go with truth this time?
no subject
Truth... Hm. What did you think about the last time you got yourself off?
no subject
Truth or dare?
no subject
Truth as well.
