I guess it would be… [ If he didn’t try to ditch them halfway through ] Mei and the other guy in our temple—Miyuki—can be pretty intense about it, though.
You’ve met Mei. He practically lives and breathes baseball. [ There’s a touch of awe in his voice as he says that, but then— ]
It’s pretty scary being on the other end of his pitches, heh. [ If you can only hear the grin in his voice as he says that. There’s nothing in his voice that betrays actual fear—if anything, the prospect actually excites him. Most dangerous situations do ]
Baseball isn’t about who’s the strongest, you know. [ He’s assuming that, of course, Chikusa might be thinking that he’s referring to physical prowess. Not that Sanada doubts he has any of that to begin with, but… ]
I noticed it since we first met. Your kind of strategic thinking would be pretty useful in a game. [ Sans, of course, the murdering people bit. ]
[There's a little bit of silence on the line as Chikusa takes this in. Everything he's thought about has always seemed natural, necessary. He never though it would be good for.... something like baseball, meant for fun.]
Yep! [ For all he knows his own judgment might be off, but he’s willing to give Chikusa the benefit of the doubt. He’s already kind of a badass as far as Sanada is concerned, anyway. ]
Of course, it might take some training for you to get a handle on the basic stuff like batting, but it’s as much about strategy as it is about power, anyway.
[ And Sanada’s got a lot of the latter, even if he’s sometimes lacking in the former… ]

I’m kidding. Maybe. You’ll just have to see for yourself, won’t you?

Good... I think training will probably be exhausting enough too... Right?

You don't sound scared.

Wait till you see his fastball coming right at you! It's awesome!

[No comment on if the fastball at his face will be awesome or not.]

I can’t wait to see how you’ll do though. I bet you’ll be a natural.

[He's kind of curious why, actually, and that awkward silence at the end of his words might give it away.]

We’ll see when I come to visit, then… I have good eye coordination, at least… So that should help.
no subject
It definitely would. So I’ll see you around, yeah? [ There’s no mistaking the excitement in his voice here. ]
no subject
Right. I'll see you around.
