[FFML] [fic][rk][cont] Rurouni Yahiko Chapter 31: The Tale of Two Shinobi

[Abdiel]

Thanks for the feedback.

Thing is, I've been using the "quotes only" and no "she said" or "he said"
thing in my fanfics for years because during such instances as above,

I believe the reader could glean from context who's saying what. (i.e., "The
'leaf on the head' shtick is for raccoon dogs, not weasels!" isn't
something that Aoshi would "exclaim" because he's not an exclamatory kind
of guy and "So you admit you're a weasel" wouldn't make sense as something
that Misao would say, since she is the weasel girl of the group.).

So I kind of disagree, _but_ it does make me reconsider the no "he/she
said" shtick (arguably, "folly") I myself have.
