[So easily poked through. Surely, the jokes have all been made about the cowardly paper-users. Matoba hardly needs to do much to look satisfied with his results when Natori stumbles about like this, already knowing that he's lost this trade.]
[Unfortunately, he has to go and dig himself a little deeper. The first question doesn't need an answer; he already surely knows what Matoba is after, or some approximation of why he would make such an unexpected move, if he thought about it a little. This is merely the sputtering of a delicate heart. But it's the second one that has Matoba's brow gently lofting, a motion that speaks volumes.]
Oh, dear.
[It's murmured, but clear enough- just another stinging reprimand. But it wouldn't be Matoba to just explain. He has to twist the ropes a little tighter.] Natori, have you read the rules of this game yet?
