       <sub>”n-ne, but if it’s like a ninja tool, why would you 
        put it in your mouth? t-that’s dangerous!“ 

        quite a few people he knew held
        kunai in their mouths, but not
        the blade itself. that was akin to it, 
        in shinzo’s eyes. 

       ”i never see you without it.. 
        i-is it sharp..?"</sub> 

     _{"Easy access.” he replied, popping it back into his mouth. Genma quirked a brow, then, looking at him with some doubt. “You really never heard of ‘em? Who’s your sensei?” he queried.}

         _{A shrug followed, and he smiled in response. “Given myself a few accidental tongue piercings, sure.”}

        <sub>a foreign word if ever there was one; strange, 
        considering the other always had one
        in his mouth.

        “.. does it.. taste good?"</sub> 

      _{"What, really?” he arches a brow, neatly plucking the senbon from between his teeth. “S'not food. It’s a ninja tool. Like kunai."} 

                _{Holding it between two fingers, he lets the other get a closer look. "I spit it at people. It usually kills ‘em.” he adds conversationally.}

         _{why do you always have that toothpick 
         in your mouth..?”}

      _{“S'not a toothpick, kid.” As if to prove a point, the senbon dipped down, bobbing between his teeth. “It’s a senbon. What, you never seen one before?”}
