I SUGGEST THAT WITH GREAT TREPIDATION cause it seems like it could be either good or terrible l-lmao. Anyway that sounds about right. Beat would probably not have moven past the MURDER THING until after the depression, so it would be after that they started becoming more like vitriolic buds.

Scratching my chin at the prospect of sword fighting Beat though... seems like it might clash with his usual fighting style, he'd probably decline. HOWEVER what if... Kaoru could teach Beat how to be more subtle and use his mind powers without being completely obvious?! Since he's a manipulative little shit... he'd probably come up with some ideas... and I'm just imagining Beat asking him for help in like the most insulting way possible as is their wont "hey kaoru. you're a lying sack of shit. how do you do that I really want to know. no seriously it's for science"
