Yes, we know, Haru.

[mooimacow]

I'm a complicated man.

Comments

[moonpowers]

Men do often have their mysterious secrets.

[mooimacow]

It's more than secrets.

[moonpowers]

More then that? I suppose that is true.

[mooimacow]

Only a man would understand. [Mystery and more mystery, don't you know?]

[moonpowers]

Then I suppose it would be silly for me to try.

[mooimacow]

Women have their own mysteries. [Solemn nod.] It's best not to anger them.

[moonpowers]

[ She can't help but laugh. ]

You are quite a wise one.

[mooimacow]

I've had experience. [More than most his age.]

[moonpowers]

Well, I hope a complicated man such as yourself will not give your mun a hard time.

[mooimacow]

She hasn't complained. I think she is the type that would.

[moonpowers]

You seem rather kind. I am sure you will not get on her bad side.

[mooimacow]

I'm told I have two sides: this one and my Black personality. Though I never remember being different.

[moonpowers]

...I am afraid I do not understand. Perhaps this is part of your complicated side?

[mooimacow]

My Black side surfaced when I was a kid. I guess all my anger and frustration piled up.

[moonpowers]

I see... and it created a side that lets out your aggression?

[mooimacow]

That's right. My parents enrolled me in Martial Arts to work off some of it. But it never went completely away.

[moonpowers]

I'm sorry to hear that. It must put a great burden on your shoulders.

[mooimacow]

It doesn't bother me. It just makes me tired. [He guesses.]

[moonpowers]

[ She nods as she listens to him. ]

May I ... ask you something?

[mooimacow]

Alright.

[moonpowers]

Would you... perhaps be from a Water tribe?

[mooimacow]

A water tribe? [He says that slowly.] Never heard of one.

[moonpowers]

No... I suppose not. [ His clothes are far too advanced to be anything like she knows. ]

I apologize.

[mooimacow]

There's no reason to. [He has noticed her clothing as well.] Is that where you're from?

[moonpowers]

Ah.. yes. The Northern Water tribe is where I reside from.

[mooimacow]

How far is that from Japan?

[moonpowers]

I... am not certain. We are located in the northern most part of the world though?

[mooimacow]

The Arctic?

[moonpowers]

That would be correct.

[mooimacow]

That's far. [And impressive.] What's it like?

[moonpowers]

It can be very cold and chilly during the nights, but it is very beautiful as well. I suppose it does help when your whole tribe is made up of Water Benders who create such beautiful architecture to live in.

[mooimacow]

...water benders? [He's now imagining blenders.] Is that a secret Martial Art?

[moonpowers]

In a way.. I suppose it is. With training, they learn to control water and form it in anyway they please.

[mooimacow]

Huh. That's pretty cool. I can't do anything like that. [He can just turn into a cow.]

[moonpowers]

I cannot either... though I am sure you have many talents of your own.

[mooimacow]

I don't know about that.

[moonpowers]

I am certain there is something.

[mooimacow]

You must be kind too.

[moonpowers]

[ A little flustered ]

Well, I suppose I can be.

[mooimacow]

I can see it. [There's a lot Haru sees.] It's nice.

[moonpowers]

You are quite kind yourself, Mr. complicated.

[mooimacow]

It's easy to be nice when someone is being nice to you.

[moonpowers]

It takes a bit of practice to keep calm around rude people. Though sometimes you have no choice in the matter.

[mooimacow]

[He nods. Boy, does he know how that goes.] When I lose my temper, I can't stop. Though I really don't want to if something's that bad.

[moonpowers]

Perhaps you could try some breathing exercises...

[doctorseahorse]

Puberty has a tendency of giving that perception.

[mooimacow]

Perception? [Do you think he's stupid too, Hatori?]
