Well why'd you think it was a good idea? Joining the military sounds awful, I'm a dumbass too and even I know that.

[At least he can admit to being a dumbass?]

[skyagain]

Same reason anyone joins an army. Propaganda, no other prospects. You start thinking it's your best shot.

[ he does NOT admit it is because he wanted to be a hero because that's LAME ]

[aono]

So...not because you wanted to help people and be a hero?

[Rin is not too lame to admit to wanting to be a hero.]

[skyagain]

Nope.

[ blatantly lying ]

There's no heroes in war, kid.

[aono]

Huh.

[A pause.]

I guess it's a good thing this isn't a war then. I don't like fighting for real anyway.

[skyagain]

You think you can get away without fighting for real in this place?

[ he doesn't seem judgmental for once just. curious. ]

[aono]

I dunno, but it's worth trying until we find out we can't? I don't wanna be the one that starts a fight.

[skyagain]

Pretty sure we're in one already. Just... not against each other yet.

[aono]

[I'm going to say he's smart enough to get what Cloud is implying.]

That's a little different than a fight to the death though.

[skyagain]

I wouldn't count that out as an option so soon. Can't think of how else we're meant to entertain.

[aono]

One time I melted an ice sculpture into a puddle in about 10 seconds and that was pretty entertaining. Maybe it'll be stupid shit like that.

[skyagain]

[


stares ]

[aono]

[He feels the judgement.]

I promise it was for a good reason.

[skyagain]

I don't care about you melting an ice statue.

[ but he has concerns for rins braincells ]

[aono]

If you're worried about me burning down the hotel, then it's fine. I don't even have my fire here, and I choose what I burn and what I don't burn.

[That probably doesn't sound much better, but.]

[skyagain]

Somehow, I wasn't worried about that until you tried to convince me otherwise.

[aono]

[Oh no.]

No really, it's one of my powers! I can make fire, but it doesn't burn stuff unless I want it to burn stuff.

[skyagain]

That's just called aiming.

[aono]

No not like that! I mean I could put fire on you but it wouldn't burn you, it would just be there.

[skyagain]

So... you'd still have the light and the warmth, but nothing else?

[aono]

Yeah! It's pretty cool actually, I'll show you when I get my fire back.

[skyagain]

You sound pretty sure you'll get it back.

[aono]

It came back before, so it'll come back again.

[skyagain]

How'd you get it back the first time?

[aono]

I made friends with one of the Watchers and she gave it back to me.
