Shizuo feels like he's definitely heard this one somewhere before, though he can't remember where for the life of him at the moment, even if he pauses and tries to give it a second or so of visible thought. --Though the pause is half for parsing what Achilles is actually saying about the guy, too, what with all these turns of phrases to rearrange here...]
