[Sometime after this incident resolved with Daryl pretty much running and hiding until Tetsuo got distracted or lost interest; but before the end of the swear-in.]

Got a problem. Kind we need to give a permanent end to.

[ooc: that gif is hypnotizing.]

[Jesus, Rick. Even Daryl knows how to spell properly on these things. If his thumbs aren't too big, neither are yours.]

Call me.

[Even if he prefers text, he ain't got time to deal with that.]

It is. This punk kid got inta a fight with me during the swear in. Wanted to make those stupid robot animals they gave us 'battle' or some shit. I didn't, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. I told him to fuck off and called him and that stupid tiger of his stupid and he decided he wanted to kill me over it. Damn near did it, too. I seen hair triggers before, but that's the hairiest one yet.

Ain't sure. But it's likely. Guy didn't want to 'let me get away' with insulting him. He's shit fucking nuts. That trainer set up they had said his name was Tetsuo. You ever hear of him?

[The only problem with Rick saying all this was that the kid had torn up a (fake) city street and then tried to kill Daryl all for calling the kid 'stupid. Rick saying the kid was family didn't stop Daryl's gut reaction from being that something needed to be done.]

Yeah? And how's that help the people that ain't with you? He nearly killed me, Rick.

[Daryl's anger was clear in his tone. Something Rick would recognize to be Daryl feeling hurt by Rick's answer as much as it was actual rage.]

I called him stupid and he decided it was worth my life! If he's ours, then you need to get on his ass about that!

Yeah. Do that.
