[ Hmn. Foul language? Honestly, it's a small sin in the grand scheme of things, but it's also a long word. If Nezumi were to guess, he'd assume it was done to make it more painful. Still, an interesting choice. Maybe the guy is skillful enough to stop Nezumi before he sinks a knife into his heart, but he doesn't know Nezumi's skill either. That's exactly why he chose a place so far from any vital organs.

Lucky for Squalo, perhaps, Nezumi doesn't kill for killing's sake. ]

I'd never be so bold as to attack someone capable of foul language. [ There's a slight hint of mockery, but enough to make it seem like Nezumi is challenging the claim. ] It'd really be a pain if I have to fight before getting out of the room.

[ The knife digs into the skin, but it's shallow. He isn't a pushover in any sense, but he doesn't intentionally make enemies. ]
