Because he's my brother and we're a packaged deal. [The real Okumura special!]

You're not wasting our time, jeez. I'm doing this because I want to. How many times do I have to tell you that you're my friend? ...I know you had to say it to me a few times too before I got it.

Geeeez.

[God she's so embarrassed. At least it's taken her mind (and mood) off of "really really emotionally distressed" though.]

At least having flames and stuff is cool, having a bad personality is not so much.

[That's a comment that brings the color to his face. She thought his flames were "cool"? (Maybe she wouldn't think that if she saw them... but hey! Maybe she would think they were super awesome up close?) For a moment, it catches him off guard. He didn't remember telling her about the blue flames. Then again, they talked about a lot of things.

. . . OH WAIT A SECOND. SHE SOUNDS LIKE IZUMO.]

What is it with girls and "bad personalities"? You are who you are. I'm Satan's son, you're Maka with the "personality" [AIR QUOTES INCLUDED], and right now we're pokemon trainers.

Pretty sure no one here cares about any of the old stuff unless they ask. And I'm pretty damn sure that your friends like your personality as is.

What is it with girls? I don't know, probably because of the boys that constantly tell them no one will want anything to do with them because of their "bad personalities."

[And other things, but Maka's not educated in the more subtle training of girls socially and it would just give Rin a headache.]

They're not obligated to like it. I don't know if they do, but we're friends, so that's okay.

I'm a boy and Yukio's a boy and we don't care about those sort of shit. It makes you more interesting, like you got somethin' to prove.

[Other than the headache he has now? Nah, he could probably stomach about three words of it. Jeez, why were friends so hard to make?]

...Where are you now?

[She just stares at him for a little bit.

Well, Rin, to put it kindly--you're not exactly a normal boy, and she's not a normal girl. Half-demons and child soldiers aren't exactly common.]

Goldenrod? My friend Kirikou is going to challenge Whitney when he can. I'm not sure when we'll ever be able to meet up again.

[Don't stare at him! He is pretty sure that what he has just said is super true. Half-demon or not, he probably has the most normal childhood between himself, Yukio and Maka. Not counting, of course, the fact that he could break bones before he entered elementary school.

Other than that, he had a totally normal childhood where he was ostracized by his peers and adults because he had a hair-trigger temper and more muscle than he could control. So normal. So very, very normal.

Kirikou, huh?]

...Yukio and I might be heading over there. What's Kirikou like?

He's nice. A total music nerd and a mother hen, but he wants everyone to believe he's actually a cool guy.

[Kind of like you, Rin.]

...Actually, he reminds me of you a little.

How does "music nerd" and "mother hen" remind you of me, even a little? Yukio's way more of a mother hen than I am.

[-- at least, he thinks that Yukio's more the mother hen type.]

Because you are a mother hen, and you try to come off like you're a cool guy instead of a nice guy, just like he does.

Name one time when I came off as "motherly"!

...Hehe, right now, actually. You're fussing over me as much as one would.

Whatever... just make sure that Kirikou guy keeps acting like a mother hen. We might end up seeing you soon.

No worries about that, just stick a baby Pokemon in front of him and he goes full tilt.

[A pause, and:] I volunteered as a knife thrower in the circus, too. So I might be coming and going periodically depending on how much they need me.

[So Kirin-baby man is good. On to more important matters like...]

You're a knife thrower in a circus?! That's so cool! How'd you get a kick-ass job like that? [AND HOW CAN HE WORK IN THE BIG TOP?]

Huh...?

["Cool"? What a weird guy.]

Because of that stupid clown, Joker. He's the one that does it when his regular knife thrower isn't around, and I didn't want the idiot hurting himself so I volunteered.

[And Rin is the first one she openly admits that too, so congrats Rin.]
