Mun? Hello, yes, it's me.

Um... Alright, look, I really don't think this is a good idea. I know you have a lot of doubts about it, too, and... This time? I think you should listen to those doubts.

You can't just take me from the middle of a great adventure and make me part of a family. Especially not if I'm going to be a kid. I'm eighteen now, and I've--

No, I'm not saying I want to suddenly have a stranger for a husband, but...

[Sigh.]

Fine. If you won't listen... I won't let you. If I could handle Eugene, I bet I can handle you, too.

"Pretty experienced"? You really gotta hang around a better class of people. [he pauses briefly as he considers her question.] Gotta say, jerk would be a pretty accurate assessment at the moment. With the way I've been letting people down lately, I might as well just accept it already.

[when she continues speaking, there's one word in particular that piques his attention.]

You...like to sew, too?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

But people like that aren't so bad once you get to know them. Still... I'm sorry to hear that.

And yes, I do!

[truffulacide]

You just haven't been around enough of them. Everyone can be intolerable at times.

It's relaxing, isn't it? Probably the most ungirly hobby a girl can have, too. [he says that with a measure of smug satisfaction, like he's trying to assure himself.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

But everyone can be sweet at times, too.

It is! And... I guess? [She... Really doesn't know much about gender stereotypes, although the only other person she knows who knits is a huge thug of a man.] ...It is pretty manly, huh?

[truffulacide]

Well, maybe. And only occasionally. I doubt that you're going to see a wanted criminal help a little old lady across the street, or watch a con artist buy ice cream cones for a gang of kids. [pause.] ...Not that both of those wouldn't be funny to see, buuuuut...!

- Extremely manly. It's right below bullfighting and a little bit higher than pro football.

[yes he isn't insecure in his masculinity at all come on and fight him]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'll have you know a wanted criminal helped me cross a lot more than a street.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Why would you fight bulls?

[truffulacide]

...Yeah, sorry, not following you there.

It's just something some people like to do. I'm not saying that I like it, but I guess the logic here is that, as long as one's around, you might as well beat it up. Or something. [he really doesn't know.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well, it is sort of a long story.

...That's pretty awful.

[truffulacide]

That kind of answer tends to be gobbledygook for "it never happened".

What if it attacks first? Then you'd be in the right to pound it into next week.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Fine, do you want the story?

But it wouldn't.
