(he can't complain about it, he was the one who started with the unwarranted testing of murdock's abilities, so he lands with a laugh, because that checks, actually? a punch, though, attempting to go right for matt's face.)

Come on, you didn't even think 'what the hell' for, like a second? Wow, they really do make lawyers differently!

[ Matt intercepts Peter's fist, grabbing it in his open palm. ]

It is a little weird. But I've fought ninjas before.

[ He just. Says that? He just says that. Like it's nbd. ]

You're telegraphing your punches, Peter. You've gotta pull them in tighter, or you'll leave yourself wide open.

[spidermenaces]

Wait-- seriously? When? How??? Hey, teach me later, show me how in like, five minutes, and rewind on the ninja thing you got going on, Mr. Murdock.

(NINJAS???? IN NEW YORK??????)

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt laughs. And laughs.

And laughs. And proceeds to continue with the explanation. ]

You gotta hold your arms tighter to yourself. Instead of punching wide, try to keep 'em close to your chest.

[spidermenaces]

(that laughter is actually contagious, because he finds himself laughing, too... until matt speaks again, and peter is quick to protest.)

Nope, no no no, you're not misdirecting me here, I gotta know this ninja thing, Mr. Murdock! How did I not know that??

[devilsavocado]

[ He finds this all very amusing. ]

About there being ninjas in New York? Yeah, they don't exactly put up ads in Times Square.

[ So not helpful, Matt!! ]

They're part of a cult. I beat their leader, so I think they went back to Japan, but I can't imagine they'll stay gone for long.

[spidermenaces]

... Mister Murdock, what is your life.

(says peter parker, high school loser, stem prodigy, sorta-son of tony stark, spiderman, but also ?????? BRO????????????)

[ Matt chuckles, tossing his head back. It's nice to get some perspective every now and then. ]

Yeah, it's kind of a mess.

[ To put it lightly....... ]

[spidermenaces]

Really sounds like it. Should I be concerned?

(yes. actually. yes.)

[devilsavocado]

Nah, it's fine. I'm used to it. And I think the ninjas won't be back for a while, anyway.

[ He hates his life sometimes!! But Peter doesn't need to know that. ]

[spidermenaces]

Dude. You gotta call me. It's ninjas, that's freaking awesome--ly bad, that's horrible, no one would blame you for needing back-up, right?

(MATT THERE ARE NINJAS.......)

[devilsavocado]

They're a lot more dangerous than they sound. They're not fun.

[ They're a little fun... ]

Have you ever heard of The Hand?

[spidermenaces]

I said awesomely bad! To be awesome at being bad, oof, you have to be super evil, right?

( nice... save?)

No, never in life. Sounds like a cult.
