Ingo is not surprised when his twin stops walking, nor by the sudden pull to a stop as well. It was to be expected that for this level of serious conversation they pause their commute.

He listens as Emmet explains his observations on his twin's habits when dealing with passengers. They were actually scary accurate but that wasn't exactly a surprise. Emmet was very observant after all, especially towards Ingo it seemed. Then again, it's hard to not know your twin after growing up with them your entire life.

The Single line conductor can feel heat rise to his cheeks as Emmet points out that he was in fact far too nice for his own good. It was hard for Ingo to say no to people, especially when it came down to declining certain flattery and offers of dates. He averted his gaze a bit to look away which was in fact a clear sign that he knew what Emmet was saying to be true.

"I suppose I do not try hard enough to let others down... I just do not wish upset any of the passengers, like you say." How was he meant to turn away courtiers gently though so neither party are upset?? "I will try to do better in the future, Emmet."

He immediately stopped walking and reached out for Ingo's arm to yank him to a stop as well. Emmet was NOT going to walk home with a brother so deep in denial, no sir.

"I am Emmet. You are Ingo. I know you. I know you verrry well. Maybe even better than you know yourself!" That was pushing it a little. Emmet had a hard time deciphering his own thoughts and feelings, let alone someone else's- even if they were his brothers. But he felt like he understood the gist of them, at least.

"You are nice. Very nice. Too nice, sometimes." He finally released his grasp on Ingo's arm. "It is okay to be honest." Of course Emmet would say that, as someone who could often be so honest that it came across as rude or even downright mean, but he felt like he was still making a good point. "I want passengers to feel content too. Buuut it should not come at your own expense. You care a lot about people. That's really good!!! But I would really like it if you cared more about yourself. At least a little, every so often."

Ingo is grateful that Kabu is open to the idea of training with others since he knows his twin. Emmet is most motivated when he gets to train with Ingo or other people. It helps him focus on the task at hand when it's something he's not used to. He loved his brother dearly but there were times when he questioned how the other got things done.

"Thank you Kabu, it means quite a bit to have you understand. As for the times and days it would be easier for us to do this in the mornings before the battle lines open for Pokemon battles during the week. Weekends they open earlier so we will be unavailable." While all the subway lines open for travel at the same time, the battle lines also had set hours for when they could be battled on as to not overwhelm any of the trainers.

“Of course,” Kabu exclaimed. He’s always welcome to train multiple people, and Ingo exercising with his brother would help Ingo out greatly. That would also help Emmet out a lot too, and Kabu felt like it would strengthen their brotherly bond as well.

“Emmet is always welcome, I would enjoy helping the both of you get more fit. It would be beneficial for the both of you to workout together, since you two are twins. I feel that he would motivate you to improve, and the other way around. What time and days are the both of you available to workout?”

Did they take a cookie from the jar? What kind of cookie is it? [Either one.][Something didn't want me to copy and paste.]

Oh it will always be Emmet, the man has an insatiable sweet tooth. It doesn't matter the type of cookie, except oatmeal raisin though iced plain oatmeal is fine (the weirdo). It gets to the point at times that Ingo has to hide the jar, then completely get rid of it for a period of time, because Emmet is just unsneakily stealing them all.

Even then Emmet has a secret stash of sweets that his brother can never find.

What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss? & When do they feel the most guilt? How do they respond to it? — for whichever twin you'd wish :]

For Ingo - He used to be able to play the piano beautifully and had an electric keyboard he would pull out when stressed to play and calm down. Sadly now a days he just doesn't have the time needed to focus on the instrument. He's getting rusty from lack of practice.

For Emmet - Emmet feels guilt pretty easily actually but when he feels it most is if he hurts anyone, no matter how accidental it was. Even when forgiven he will fret over it mentally for a while after.

//Trying to finish my Pokedex for the first time ever and get a shiny charm. Here's hoping it actually happens for once

[battle-subway-twins]

Ingo nodded at the sage advice given by the gym leader and looked thoughtful. It made sense, and did remind him quite a lot of the advice given to him when he was a younger man at his peak of athleticism. Of course he'd slacked off after becoming one of the Subway Masters.

"Thank you for the advice Kabu. One must pace themself in any kind of training, be it for battling or fitness. There is no victory at the end of the line should you derail of the tracks. I appreciate your guidance and help in this endeavor."

The conductor smiles and also took another sip of water before humming in thought at the query. "I would like that though I would like to ask, might Emmet come along with us? It would do him good as well to work out with us." Besides that Emmet focused more when joined by others.

“That’s good news,” Kabu replied with a small smile on his face. He feared that the workout was so intense that Ingo might have got injured, but he was glad that nothing like that happened. 

“What you said gives me relief. Also you don’t need to overwork yourself, like I said you’re just starting out. It’s a marathon, not a sprint…take this one step at a time and I will be walking by your side on your fitness journey."

After taking another sip from his water bottle, he looked at Ingo and asked "Would you like to do a beginner’s workout with me tomorrow or maybe the day after?”

[battle-subway-twins]

Ingo listened as he tried to get his breathing back under control. Perhaps he had bitten off more than he could chew diving into such an intense workout right away. That's a lesson he won't forget for next time.

"I see, that does make sense... It also shows that you're well trained. I must admit I'm slightly envious." He chuckles to show he wasn't actually upset that he'd basically overworked himself trying to keep up. Ah well. Kabu was right and he wouldn't do so next time. For now he tried to slick back his hair back into some order of neatness when the older trainer looked him over and offered a water bottle.

"Ah thank you. I do not believe I injured myself doing that. I likely just will be very sore for a while like you said." The conductor gave the other a small smile as he accepted the water bottle in order to take a good long sip as well.

@battle-subway-twins [X]

After Kabu took a long sip from his water bottle, he looked at Ingo and replied “No problem. Honestly Ingo it’s a gradual thing, you start small and then you increase it when you feel like you’re ready to do so.”

He then placed his water bottle down on the floor. “I’ve been doing this for years so something that is strenuous as this isn’t that hard for me. But since you’re starting out Ingo, next time we will do basic workouts until you’re ready for more intense ones.

Now looking at him Kabu asked, "How are you feeling, you're not injured correct? You're going to be sore for a while but that will go away. Here's some water, being hydrated is very important.” Kabu then gave Ingo the other water bottle.

❛ trembling, aren't you? still, i'm impressed you made it this far. ❜ (Kabu saying this to Ingo after they exercise together) @hibanakabu

The poor conductor truly was trembling from the amount of exercise they'd just done. He thought that perhaps it wouldn't be too bad and that he would feel good after. But damn was that not the case.

"T-Thank you but pardon me asking... How on earth do you manage to do that every day?"

Locket: Do they have any items they keep dearly because of sentimental reasons? What is it and why is it so important to them if so?

//So it really depends on the verse they are being rped with and with whom. For example: Emmet was given a very special necklace from @thebehemxth when they got engaged frigging years ago. Emmet absolutely cherishes this necklace in that verse.

//Recently I began to play with the idea of the twins having an old locket (heh heh irony considering this meme) that their mother owned. Inside that locket is a picture of their parents which is the only tie they have left since most of their childhood memories were suppressed due to the training and missions the mafia gave them. This locket is now proudly displayed in a shadowbox on their living room wall with the casing open to show the picture within.

[battle-subway-twins]

Heart Locket: What sorts of things do they do for their friends? Do they tend give more than they get for their loved ones?

Mystery Key: How often do they keep secrets about themselves from others? Are there any specific reasons they do so or is it just how they are in general?

//So both Emmet and Ingo will do basically all they can for their friends when asked for help. The pair have very few friends after all and thus whenever they see one of those friends struggling for any reason the pair will try to step in and help. A lot of times they do not get that kind of aide in return since they don't want to bother others with their problems.

//As for keeping secrets from each other they don't really hide that much from each other. This is simply because for basically their whole lives they've only had each other to rely on. This is due to growing up in a criminal organization as their assassins. Ingo does however tend to keep more secrets from Emmet, feeling like he has to as the older brother. This has led to some pretty strong arguments between the pair before but Ingo still does so out of habit.
