If you're not going to play my older self, you have no business playing me.

Do you not want to be in a game?

[nanashii]

That's not the point. If she can play me, she should be able to play the older me.

[fourth_strikes_first]

Sometimes things are complicated.

[nanashii]

They shouldn't be too complicated.

[fourth_strikes_first]

Well some things just are Trowa!

[Excuse him for being emotional.]

[nanashii]

I don't have the right to that name.

[He doesn't excuse you.]

[fourth_strikes_first]

[Just let him call you that. He's lost you too many times, and you will always be Trowa to him.]

I'm sorry...it just slipped out. I didn't mean to raise my voice.

[nanashii]

[Excuses. But fine.]

... It doesn't matter.

[fourth_strikes_first]

Can't you even be happy that you aren't being ignored?

[nanashii]

...Happy?

[Utterly bewildered. What does happiness have to do with it?]

[fourth_strikes_first]

Yes...happy. Don't you want to be happy?

[nanashii]

[No one's really bothered to ask him that before, let alone pressed. It takes him a minute or two before he shrugs a little.]

It's not the most important thing, but yeah.

[fourth_strikes_first]

What is the most important thing?

[nanashii]

Surviving through being useful. Otherwise I'll just be discarded.

[fourth_strikes_first]

[He wants to hug you, but that's probably off limits.]

You won't be discarded...anyone who did that would be a fool.

[nanashii]

[What's a hug?]

I've had to work since I can remember. I don't see that changing. It's a fact of my life.

[fourth_strikes_first]

[Sadly things would only get harder before they got any easier.]

Lots of things can change in the future. What do you want to do when you're older? Just because things have always been one way doesn't mean they have to stay that way forever.

[nanashii]

[Such is the way of his life. His eyes narrow a little and he frowns.]

It's pointless.

[fourth_strikes_first]

[Has anyone ever told you that you're a pessimist? He sighs and frowns.]

Its never pointless to try.

[nanashii]

[Look at his life. Just look at it. Can you blame him?]

How would you know?

[fourth_strikes_first]

Because I've helped change things. And you can as well. If you have the drive, you can do it.

[lessonelinersmorelasers]

What's up doc?

[nanashii]

You had help.

Troll

[nanashii]

[A talking rabbit. At least that's what he thinks it's supposed to be. As he's already said 'what's up', he stares at the...bunny...for a long minute.]

...I'm not a doctor.

The biggest ever.

[lessonelinersmorelasers]

I figured you weren't kid. It's an expression. A one liner. Probably way before your time.

Anyway, what's got you all in a twist? You don't seem to happy ta be out and about like.

[fourth_strikes_first]

I did. You could get help too though.
