[ That makes him really happy. Knowing that he did get the robot. Because it was important to his plans. Very special plans that would totally work because he's Xanxus and he just can't imagine that he of all people would lose to some brat in Japan. ]

You want to come along while I beat some fucker's face in? Sure thing. Let's go hunting some trash.

[ And holy fuck but that totally feels like he's about to take Squalo on a date. Because dates are totally going through a crowd of people, tracking down a single person to make wish they were never born. He's so excited about it, so eager that there's a slightly oppressive heat starting to roll off of him. ]

[sharktrash]

[ Yeah obviously. It's not like he'd get his ass beat by a pre-teen who definitely doesn't know the secret Dying Will technique, right? What a crazy thought. ]

Why wouldn't I?

[ He follows, ugly laughing to boot. And he just looks more excited when he feels -- that presence, yes. It's the rage he loves so much, and he's about to see it, live. He points at a vaguely familiar face in the crowd. ]

That the scumbag?

[ He might totally hold the poor dude while Xanxus beats him. That's how things usually go, right? ]

[variaboss]

[ Exactly. They'll never lose. Ever. They'll totally win and he'll be the 10th and the world will be an amazing place. ]

Oh, that's the guy. Let's go.

[ He totally is going to wail on him. Not just that, but he might have gotten a little boost from some dudes in helmets. Still not going to hit has hard as he's used to, but definitely much much harder than he has before. He's looking forward to it. And to the blood that's probably going to splatter all over him and Squalo too. ]

Don't let the fucker run. Come around from the back and I'll go from the front.

[sharktrash]

Got it.

[ He's got that no-good grin going on as he circles the crowd and casually blocks the guy's way from the left. ]

Going somewhere?

[ Yeah not even waiting for an answer before he's grabbing the poor dude's wrists to hold them behind him. ]

[variaboss]

[ And here's Xanxus suddenly in front of him. The dude is struggling and they might just have an audience started. It's been a while since he's fought anyone in public though this isn't really fighting. This probably looks just like what it really is. Two Mafia Guys about to beat the living snot of out someone that owes them money or something. ]

What's the rush? You thought you could get away and tell all your friends about how you punched Xanxus and made him bleed, didn't you? Well... let's see if you're going to be able to talk after this.

[ He's totally ignoring simpering and the swearing and probably the photographers snapping all sorts of pictures of the beatdown and the terrible laughing asshole doing it. ]

[sharktrash]

[ Two terrible laughing assholes, probably, because Squalo is finding this just as hilarious. And his laugh is just as ugly, etc. It's probably an unofficial requirement for the Varia or something. The funny thing is... he's perfectly okay with violence and murder even without remembering the mafia part. As if lack of morals was just ingrained too deeply in him. ]

[ And yeah, totally holding the dude back while Xanxus pummels him because that's perfectly fair and all. ]

[ ...this definitely feels like they've done it before. ]

[variaboss]

[ It's the worst sounding thing, but honestly Xanxus hasn't had this much fun in ages. This much of a thrill. He's missed it so much. If bones are shattering and blood is pouring from the guys mouth, so be it. He might accidentally end up killing the guy if he's not stopped soon but it's not like someone responsible is around other than a few security guys. They might break that up. ]

Step off. We're not done having fun yet.

[sharktrash]

[ Who cares about some dead trash, right? The papers might, though, so yeah, there's some security coming in to separate them. It's fine, though, because their victim's face already looks at least ten times worse than Xanxus'. ]

[ Squalo lets the square dudes pull him off that walking piece of garbage, but he's pointing at his eyes and then at him. ]

You're not getting your stinky hide saved next time.

[variaboss]

[ Xanxus is laughing like he's just had the most fun ever. He wished he could have just beaten the fuck to death. But he'll probably need new teeth. ]

Next time you're dead, you fuck. You hear me. Dead!

[ Then he's totally taking that bloody hand and draping it over Squalo. He's so happy. ]

Ah, that was great! We need to do that again.

[sharktrash]

[ Maybe next time ;D ]

[ Aw, how sweet. He takes a nice deep breath to draw that scent of blood in, and there might be a little shiver of excitement going through him which Xanxus may or may not feel. ]

Hell yeah! I missed this.

[ 'Cause they've totally done this before, he's not doubting that anymore. ]
