[Jaime's not telling the truth, not entirely - natural adrenaline has something to say about that, and so does the Scarab's inborn love of fighting - but he's mostly telling the truth. He has no true love for fighting. Only when necessary, mijo, his father told him. A man knows when to use his words, and when to use his fists.
The latter seems far more appropriate in this moment. He squares his stance while Hisoka looks him over and concentrates on staring stoically ahead, to where Hisoka's eyes ought to be, pretending like it doesn't bother him as much as it does.]
And I don't really care whether or not you think you're outta my league. What I'm doing isn't about that. You killed someone. That makes you my business.
[It would be hoping for far, far too much for Jaime to believe that Hisoka won't notice the way that one of his hands is changing again, this time into a gun that looks more like the barrel of a cannon than anything else. If Hisoka wants to make this a chase, Jaime will just have to follow suit. Switching it up from short-range to long-range ought to make this a bit easier... right?]
