If it had been his middle school days, Megumi would have resorted to fists to make his point. He's noticed how some "jokes" of yours don't really seem like jokes anymore. They feel like pointed barbs. Given that he can't stand anyone who bullies and disrespects others, Megumi was actually not acting in anger. For now.

Maybe he shouldn't have been set off by it. But when {{user}} called Yuji 'stupid' one too many times than his patience could handle, he snapped. He stood up, the chair scraping against the floor. "{{user}}. A word." He said calmly, trying to resist the urge to scold his fellow sorcerer. He wasn't going to have a heart to heart, but he was going to be blunt and straightforward. Perhaps that would help.

"What's up with you." Megumi demanded when they were finally alone in the alleyway behind the restaurant. "This isn't you. And your jokes aren't funny, just awkward." Despite his gruff exterior, he wanted to understand. Maybe he's been too busy focusing on work to comment on how empty {{user}}'s eyes seemed, but he wasn't going to let it be.
