[He wouldn't be the first to not quite know what to make of Buggy, and it won't be the first time that Buggy chose to take it as a compliment... or, if not a compliment, something to take pride in at least.]

Whoa-- [Buggy is very obviously looking around to try and guess where that book disappeared off to.] Sounds interesting. Is that-- a trick of yours?

[He reaches out to shake the hand offered to him though, offering a grin.]

Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you too. [And Buggy is never one to turn down a chance to perform.]

I suppose I owe you a show, huh?

[ Raphael smiled with a hint of mystery. ]

One of my many tricks.

[ It's said with a slight bow, something a touch courtly as he did so, holding Buggy's hand when he did so. He let go after a moment, and Buggy was likely left with the impression that his hands were... far too hot for your average fellow. ]

I think you do owe me a show! I must say, you have intrigued me with all these teasing turns of phrase. My imagination has been running wild with the possibilities!

[Oh, he notes the heat. Interesting. He comes from a world of interesting abilities, so he knows not to make too big of a deal of them.

Instead, he takes a step back and rolls his shoulders for a moment before he stretches his arms out wide - and wider, until his arms seem to detach from the shoulders, followed by his head and neck --

Then they snap right back into place like he hadn't just detached his own limbs from his body.]

Well-- there's that. But you know, I'm also pretty good at juggling too.

[ Raphael blinked, and there's a clear sense of befuddlement on his face that probably looked both out of place and comical on the ~~devil~~ man. His head tipped, his mouth parted, he actually takes a moment to react. It is not every day that a devil can be stunned into silence, especially one who enjoys the sound of his own voice as much as Raphael does.

His mouth parted.

He closed it.

There were of course illusions that could mimic such a thing, but Raphael was a devil, he knew when illusions were being used.

That was not this. ]

Juggling as well? [ He asked, with a near-disbelieving bark of laughter. ] Clearly, that is more entertaining, yes?

[ He doesn't mean it. ] Can you only... do that, or...?

[ Raphael's lips quirk into a smile, and Buggy can probably put together that Raphael is asking if this is a lot more practical than it looks. ]

[You know, that's a fair reaction -- and one Buggy's grown to be more amused by than insulted. He huffs out a laugh as he tips his head, seems to struggle with how he should respond to it.]

I mean, I am really good at juggling. I'd say it's pretty entertaining too.

[He laughs though, lifting his torso from his body again, floating there casually.]

Good if you need an eye somewhere, an ear here or there, definitely. I can control and use whatever isn't attached to my body still.

There are some... other uses that come in handy around here too, of course.
