What are you talking about?

[Don't even think about sending him that video again--]

No. It wasn't.

It was foolish. It won't happen again.

[Sorry, Kaneki.]

[Ah jeez.]

You know, you can have fun and keep your privacy. Some of us are just better equipped to do so easily.

Ready to tell me what your trick is so I can teach you?

My powers, you mean.

[He'd already seen a glimpse of them at the picnic - but that's not what Shinigami is talking about. He must know by now that D33 has some sort of stealth ability. Given how practiced Duo is with his own, D33 doesn't doubt that he might be able to teach him a thing or two about it. That doesn't mean he doesn't have his doubts, though, about whether or not he can trust him with that information.]

You of all people should understand why I would be reluctant to share such information. I might venture to guess that you would think it foolish to do so.

Sure.

I'm also not the one that keeps slipping up cuz I'm green.

[Matter of fact.]

Look at it this way, kid: in order to teach you, I have to reveal my own hand to you, too.

[A fair point, though it almost sounds a bit too good to be true. Even so, it's not as if D33 hasn't revealed enough to Shinigami already. That, and:]

I must admit that many aspects of my abilities remain a mystery to even myself.

I suppose if I am to utilize them to their full extent, I might be in need of some assistance. Training, perhaps.

Is that what you are offering, Shinigami?

If I don't know what you can do, I don't know what I can teach you. But I can try.

And honestly, the basic concepts of stealth don't require having powers, anyway.

[He sure as hell never needed them before.]

You have my word that I'll try to teach whatever is appropriate to your powerset.
