Haru.

[mooimacow]

Am I a beefcake?

( He begins to flex, but he ends up sighing. )

The beef part is relevant.

[sleepygunsman]

......Perhaps you are one?

[Lace wouldn't know since, he sure as hell isn't one either.]

[mooimacow]

I could be.

[sleepygunsman]

Why would you ask? Did someone say you were one?

1/2

[mooimacow]

My Mun.

[mooimacow]

I think beef would taste bad in a cake.

[sleepygunsman]

You don't even look like a cake....Maybe you mun's eyes are going?

[mooimacow]

I didn't think of that.

Maybe she thinks I look like a metaphor?

[sleepygunsman]

.......Is it a good thing?

[mooimacow]

I could be a metaphor. I am "an old man trapped in a boy's body".

[sleepygunsman]

That's an interesting one...How old are you?

[mooimacow]

How old do you think I am?

[sleepygunsman]

You're not going to hit me for telling you what I think right?

[Because Lace has fallen for these traps before. ]

[mooimacow]

That would be stupid.

[sleepygunsman]

You'd be surprised how many idiots there are.

[Lace sighed softly before examining the other closely.]

I'd say you're sixteen...maybe seventeen.

[mooimacow]

Right on the dot. ( He gives Lace a thumbs up. )

[sleepygunsman]

[Lace perked up a bit when he received a thumbs up. Haru would be surprised how little praise he got for giving correct answers.]

How old do I look?

[He normally would never ask since his age was meaningless to most but that didn't mean he was never curious about it. ]

[mooimacow]

( He observes Lace closely before answering: )

Younger than me. Older than a baby turtle.

[sleepygunsman]

......

[He gives Haru a thumbs up.]

Depends though...How old is the baby turtle?

[mooimacow]

( For some reason, this too requires thought. )

The big turtles can live to be over one hundred, so they'd still be babies when they were...10?

[sleepygunsman]

Then yes I am older than a baby turtle.

[mooimacow]

Thirteen? Fourteen?

[and_i_know_it]

Ah-haha! Perhaps in your case, the term is most fitting, Haru-kun!

[mooimacow]

You think so, Commander?

[and_i_know_it]

I know so! [He nods emphatically.]

[mooimacow]

Then maybe my Mun has a point.

[and_i_know_it]

Oh?

[mooimacow]

She thinks I'm a hunk.

[and_i_know_it]

I see!! Well, aren't you flattered? You should be!

[mooimacow]

A little. She's older.

[and_i_know_it]

And this is a problem how? [No Ayame.]

[mooimacow]

Do you think she could be a predator?

[and_i_know_it]

Oh, it's entirely possible! You should be careful, Haru-kun!

[mooimacow]

She says she takes offense to that.

[and_i_know_it]

Far be it for me to have wished to offend her! Although if we get technical, then didn't she just offend herself?

[captaineering]

You don't look nothin' like a cake tho, ya know?

[mooimacow]

But I'm sweet like one.

[doctorseahorse]

(Just....this look.)

[mooimacow]

Is that a no?

[doctorseahorse]

...Somehow, I doubt the term would be completely appropriate.
