Duo was not wallowing in self pity, he was contemplating grass. It was a nice thing, grass. It was green to start with, and kind of soft looking in a pointy sort of way. Like a thousand tiny gemstone swords made out of plant.
The daisies? Also cool.
He was considering expanding his attention just enough to maybe take in that leaf over there, when Kisame appeared in front of him and yanked him back to the not-real world.
Duo flinched. Then he yanked both of his feet back. "Sure," he said, without humour, "Which side of the head do you want me to kick you in?"
