[Sure enough, the person who opens the door has shock written all over his face, as if he wasn't expecting two people who aren't children with baskets at hand.
Ryoji takes the lead, hoping to demonstrate the proper etiquette to Rafal. He sounds his usual bright and cheery self as he yells]-
Trick or Treat!
[Slam! It is met with outright rejection, the door rudely closing shut at their faces.]
[You know that part from The Shining where "johnny" breaks into a door with an axe and there's someone screaming from the other side? Rafal is sure making a great impression of that scene right now.
Ryoji, meanwhile, is panicking.]
Uhhhh please just give us our candy! And I swear we won't trick you anymore!!!
[ screaming can be heard from inside the house, but rafal can't be bothered. he's heard plenty of screams before. as if such a thing could set him off. he slams his axe into the door a few more times before a hand thrusts out a bowl of candy, filled to the brim.
he pauses. eyes the offering as a dragon eyes its bounty. and snatches it from them, satisfied. ]
[Oh dear god what has he done. They have candy now - but at what cost? And something in Rafal's eyes makes him believe that he wouldn't be satisfied with one bowl's worth of candy alone.
Ryoji looks at the next house down the block and offers them a silent apology.]

rafal knocks on the door, waiting expectantly. ]

It could be worse. Houses can be rebuilt.

[He's not strong enough to reign Rafal in, by the way. Hint, hint.]

[ rafal unsheathes his axe, revanche. aptly named in this moment as he moves to strike the door down. ]
