telophase had some fun with this a little while ago, so I thought I'd give it a try, because it's too quiet on LJ for me:
Choose two of my icons [or heck, two characters from two different authors' works that you know I've read, manga, SF&F, whatever] and I will tell you what happens when those two people (or things) get together. Definition of "get together" may vary. Response may be phrased in the form of a snippet or sentences of random blathering.

"Of course you've heard of me," she said, confidently. "I'm the leading bounty hunter on the Tokaido Road!"
The black-clad man in the funny hat shook his head sadly. "My regrets, Miss Yuya. I can't say I have - I'm a stranger in these parts. But my conscience won't let me rest if I leave a young lady like yourself to travel alone."
She refrained from rolling her eyes - she was a professional, after all. He was kind of creepy. And he didn't seem to have heard a single thing she'd said.
She glanced up at his massive bodyguard, who gazed back impassively. The two of them would probably scare off the small fry. But that still left the big scores. And someone who was such a "gentleman" wouldn't insist on sharing the bounty.
"Fine," she snapped. "Let's go."
And you better not turn out to be an ass-grabber, Grosse-san, or you're going to be missing some fingers.

And while Hazel may not be an ass grabber, you know that he's still going to get on her nerves so badly...

Yuya's not real strong on the mystical front, so I thought that although she knows something is creepy about him, she's not going to be able to determine what right off. So she's translating it into the only "creepy" she knows well - therefore, he must be a pervert.

Date: 2008-04-03 10:10 pm (UTC)Oh, we know he is! But it might take quite a while for Yuya to witness that side of him.
(Did you end up going off SDK entirely, or did it pick up for you at all with the aftermath of the tournament?)

Date: 2008-04-04 02:00 am (UTC)I think sticking with it til vol. 10 is more than generous.
If you think you're going to be giving up on it, you can probably glance over the write-up I did for Yukimura's 2-part backstory in vol. 11, here, simply because it's an interesting little story and will tell you more about Yukimura, who's my favorite character. But you get a little of his history even by the end of vol. 4.
