Yes, Hattori-kun said something similar to that. Please continue.
*She listened intently; holding back any comments relating to what Heiji had told her. She wanted the story from Hakuba before she openly tried to compare them – just in case they had contrasting points…*
“Hattori-san and I don’t exactly see eye to eye on many things, as I’m certain he’s already relayed to you-” that bastard “-and we soon got into a heated discussion. Granted, I did say some things that were out of line, which I did apologize for later, but… Of course, things got physical as Hattori-san is wont to do, and threw me to the ground with his hand around my throat.”
Hakuba frowned at this, not entirely enjoying the admission that he was bested by the Osakan brute… but it did seem like important information to convey the savagery of the beast, as it were. His pride could suffer for the greater good.
“He released me after that, and told me to go. Attempts at smoothing things over with him were unsuccessful, and I left.”
Ah, if only that had been the end of the story.
