Ah, there we go... A brief wave of exhilaration is probably not the appropriate response to what, for most people, would qualify as a murder attempt, but the wait has lasted long enough, and Izaya is pleased that things are finally getting started. Watching Shizuo get ever more irritated had a certain charm, but Izaya can only summon so much patience when he's not directly involved in what's happening.
He's prepared for the attack, of course - he's been prepared from the start - and, rather than dodging the approaching vending machine, he jumps up, balancing on the slanting surface until it succumbs to gravity and settles on the ground with a loud crash. His coat billowing from the landing, Izaya stays where he is, right on top of that vending machine, because... why not? Besides, he does so enjoy looking down on people.
"Honestly, I'm surprised it took you that long. I've been dropping hints from the moment you left home." Not actually true, but close enough - and who'd prove him wrong, anyway? The truth is a matter of perception, and Izaya knows just how to create it to his satisfaction. "I almost think you're regressing even further, Shizu-chan."
