I always get what I want.

[ No matter what he has to step over. ]

Setbacks are only a minor inconvenience.

Knew I liked you for a reason.

[He says but he hated another guy for the same reason. His feelings are complicated.]

All we have to do is survive, so don't try something crazy too.

Trust me, I won't. I need to get back home.

[ So he can be stupid about his life there instead! ]

I hope you know the same goes for you. Don't get in over your head here.

Yeah, true. My uncle would want me in one piece.

[Lore that is now late to the come but oh well.]

I'm sure I worried him enough staying here. Anyone special waiting for you?

[Aside from his mafia group thing.]

[ ALAS. Kurapika assumes that Nikaidou must not live with his parents, though. Same hat! ]

Like a significant other?

[ He shakes his head. ]

There’s a friend on the boat I was on, but…

[ Calling him “someone special” would be pushing it. ]

Doesn't have to be.

[Because Nikaidou himself doesn't have one of those.]

Like a cruise ship, or a regular boat?

Ah. Then, I do. Leorio, Melody, and a few others are waiting for me.

[ Even if he still feels odd about admitting he has friends… it’s fine. ]

It was a ship destined for the Dark Continent carrying two hundred and fifty thousand people. I was security detail for a prince aboard the ship.

[ Yeah. More bullshit, sorry Nikaidou. ]

I'm starting to not really understand what kind of mafia you work for.

[He didn't really know they did security detail? But then again, he might have the stereotypical mafia in his head.]

When I took over the family, I changed our methods of income to providing security detail and gambling.

[ Because surely this doesn’t cause more confusion. ]

It’s easier to use legal means. You keep people around longer that way. [ … ] I’m not above threatening and extortion, however.

[ Don't get him wrong. ]

... You know, most times you're the kind of guy my uncle would tell me not to associate with.

[But from his tone, that doesn't matter.]

You really live a different life, huh?

I do.

[ It seems like Nikaidou lives a relatively peaceful life, and for that, Kurapika is grateful. ]

Your life is probably different to most of the people here. [ You know, just going off of the real winning personalities this group is filled with. ] I'm almost jealous.
