This is a conversation between Sojiro Shimda and yourself, Gabriel Reyes.
Gabriel Reyes: Sojiro Shimada... Not a face I expected to see again.
Gabriel Reyes: You're looking very... alive.
Sojiro Shimda: Ah... Commander Reyes... You've aged.
Gabriel Reyes: Not a day, but thank you for the compliment.
Gabriel Reyes: Last news I heard about you involved a incredibly extravagant funeral.
Gabriel Reyes: How you survived is the only story I want to hear from you.
Sojiro Shimda: Straight to the point as always with you, I see.
Sojiro Shimda: Barely a greetings from you before you start hounding me.
Gabriel Reyes: Nostalgic, isn't it?
Sojiro Shimda: I suppose it is...
Sojiro Shimda: But what of you? You looked like you've survived.... barely...
Gabriel Reyes: I'm sure my story is much shorter than yours. Ziegler never knew when to quit on a patient.
Gabriel Reyes: It worked out for your son... Not so much for me.
Sojiro Shimda: I'm not sure I can saw that for Genji too much...
Gabriel Reyes: He's a resilient kid. Worked with him for a while after he recovered.
Sojiro Shimda: *Still unsure but merely sighs* I should thank you...
Gabriel Reyes: Don't worry about it. Figured I owed the Shimada's a favor.
Gabriel Reyes: You didn't kill my boy despite him breaking every rule I gave him in Hanamura.
Sojiro Shimda: It wasn't *difficult* of a challenge...
Sojiro Shimda: Hanzo was happy... And still is with the fool.
Gabriel Reyes: I find that hard to believe. There were plenty of times I thought of dropping the ingrate off where I found him.
Gabriel Reyes: At least they've got that going for them. Not much else went right for those boys.
Sojiro Shimda: Well that is yet another difference between you and I, Commander Reyes. I have more patience and I higher tolerance than you...
Sojiro Shimda: And seeing how those two are now, is a truly a blessing.
Gabriel Reyes: I can't quite believe your son still lets him dress like that.
Gabriel Reyes: I suppose Hanzo didn't inherit your sense of decorum.
Sojiro Shimda: Hm. I think the fault lies with the parent...
Sojiro Shimda: Most good parents see an odd behavior in their child and attempt to fix it.
Sojiro Shimda: Not encourage it.
Gabriel Reyes: He was seventeen when I got my hands on him. If things were different he might dress like a normal person.
Sojiro Shimda: *sly grin* Well the teen years are the most important.
Gabriel Reyes: Oh, old habits can be hard to change.
Gabriel Reyes: When you raise a child from childhood you can stop some habits before they become ingrained.
Sojiro Shimda: If that's the excuse you are going with, then I suppose...
Sojiro Shimda: We all make mistakes with parenting...
Gabriel Reyes: Some more than others.
Sojiro Shimda: Yours just happened to be the most flashy and embarrassing to be around in public
Gabriel Reyes: I don't think I have to bring to mind specifics when it comes to your... "princes".
Gabriel Reyes: The chaps are nothing compared to the file Blackwatch had on your Sparrow.
Sojiro Shimda: I think the spurs and bullet ridden musky serape would disagree with you.
Gabriel Reyes: I'm sure Hanzo doesn't mind.
Sojiro Shimda: As I said... as long he is happy... I put up it with what I can...
Gabriel Reyes: I can echo that sentiment. As long as the little ingrate is happy.
Sojiro Shimda: So... I must ask....
Sojiro Shimda: Morrison? Really? Him?
Gabriel Reyes: Don't act like you never did anything stupid in your youth.
Sojiro Shimda: You were with him well into your 40s.
Gabriel Reyes: You got me.
Gabriel Reyes: Thought I could make it work. We went through a war together.
Sojiro Shimda: That does not change the fact that he is... him...
Gabriel Reyes: He wasn't always so...
Gabriel Reyes: Him.
Sojiro Shimda: I highly doubt that.
Sojiro Shimda: If I must confess something to you
Sojiro Shimda: I did find you very... intriguing when we first met.
Sojiro Shimda: Then Morrison came in and I realized you had no taste.
Gabriel Reyes: Really, huh? Well, you only make that mistake once.
Sojiro Shimda: *Scoffs* "Once" he says.
Sojiro Shimda: As if you two were not together for decades...
Gabriel Reyes: No need to dredge up my past mistakes.
Gabriel Reyes: I'm interested in this "intrigue".
Sojiro Shimda: *smirks before walking ahead*
Gabriel Reyes: *Gabriel floats along.* Don't want to talk about your crush?
Sojiro Shimda: *Sojiro snorts before laughing* Crush? Do not flatter yourself, Commander Reyes.
Gabriel Reyes: You're the one who said you were interested. Piqued my interest.
Sojiro Shimda: I never said "crush".
Sojiro Shimda: Just merely, seeing a dashing man in power is always alluring to me.
Gabriel Reyes: Yeah, that sounds like a crush.
Gabriel Reyes: Shame I'm not a Commander now.
Sojiro Shimda: *Sojiro rolls his eyes, but still has a smile on his face* If you want to consider me just simply finding you attractive as a "crush", go right ahead.
Sojiro Shimda: And... what? You think you being Commander now, means something?
Sojiro Shimda: That I be on my knees, ready to pleasure you?
Gabriel Reyes: *Gabriel shrugs.* If you're offering.
Sojiro Shimda: I am not easy, Reyes.
Gabriel Reyes: That? Is yet to be seen.
Gabriel Reyes: I only say it's a shame because I don't have that sort of power any longer. I've got power in a much different sense, now.
Sojiro Shimda: *Looking at him up and down* I guess?
Gabriel Reyes: *Gabriel makes a show of turning into smoke and appearing at Sojiro's other side.* See?
Sojiro Shimda: *Fanning himself, using his other back of his hand on his forehead* Oh my! I am just so... hot and over come with arousal by you!
Gabriel Reyes: Please, keep your clothes on.
Gabriel Reyes: This is a public place.
Sojiro Shimda: *Standing up straight* Coming from the man who just teleported.
Gabriel Reyes: I teleported about a foot. It isn't the showiest thing I could do.
Sojiro Shimda: Hmph. And they say *I'm* a showoff...
Gabriel Reyes: You always have been.
Sojiro Shimda: I think you are attempting to come for my title.
Sojiro Shimda: I mean... Look at you?
Sojiro Shimda: Black leather?
Gabriel Reyes: Excuse me for having a little style.
Gabriel Reyes: I think black leather really compliments a body can disperse into black mist.
Sojiro Shimda: If I'm being honest, it does certainly compliment your body.
Sojiro Shimda: But still...
Gabriel Reyes: Never received as many compliments on my thighs as I do now.
Sojiro Shimda: Are you keeping tally now?
Gabriel Reyes: Mhm. It's one way to pass the time.
Sojiro Shimda: Again... They say *I'm* vain.
Gabriel Reyes: They might be right. Doesn't mean you aren't the only one.
Sojiro Shimda: The more I talk to you so casually, the more I'm disappointed you were taken when we met all those years ago.
Gabriel Reyes: There's no time better than the now.
