Well well. If Rocket sent their hound after him, it must mean they’re starting to feel like he’s more than just a little thorn in their side. That’s good. That’s amazing, even.
“Oh yeah, sure. The whole world would burn, and it’d still be just business for the Holy Order of Rocket. Fuck off, mate.” He steps to the side, slowly starting to circle around the other man.
Fuck, he wishes he had his kukris on himself, he’d make minced meat out of this guy with the heavy blades. He still has his switchblade in his pocket, and while a knife is a reassuring thing… It’s not nearly as impressive as what he can pack with his favorite knives. His hand closes around it and stays in his pocket as his eyes dart from the other to his surroundings, back to his opponent, back to the area, making sure he keeps everything in check.
“Or if you’re gonna waste my time, better start movin’ now.”
“...man, someone’s a little cranky.”
Despite the other’s tone, Riku still keeps on chitchatting as if he was dealing with just an old pal.
He’s well aware that the good ol’ ‘nothing personal, kid’ line is one hell of a clichè, but he was saying the truth, here! He had no reason to antagonize this poor dude, he’s simply doing his job!
That kind of stuff always makes his work a little bit annoying. He’s a man with feelings and emotions like everyone else, being told off just because his objective had a bad day is just mean!
“You really need a nap, you know? It does miracles for your mood!
And would fix those eyebags of yours, too.
Welp! Might as well get over it!”
The guy didn’t comment any preference, but the Rocket decided to opt for a no-knife-no-Pokèmon-option, for now. The first was just for people who he had fun dealing with, and the latter was just to put someone down as quick as possible - and, as far as he knew, his bosses didn’t tell him to kill the target.
...granted, they didn’t tell him to keep him alive and well either and accidents happen, but that’s a thought for later.
For now, he’d much rather just use his fists and legs, pretending to throw a punch just to instead give a strong kick to the man’s legs, aiming from the back of his knee.
Let’s start with taking him down, we’ll think about what to do with him later~
