"It was a compliment!" Hands go up to pat the air between them, pout grumbling out his throat at the misunderstanding. "Yer his partner n having that one person, it's important.

Killer's protective reaction only proves his point and slowly he offers the masked man a easy smile. "Yer like my Zoro so I know yer good. Everyone wishes they had one you guys."
