[Snake-Eyes' lair. There's a new rack in the same corner as his ninja equipment. This one's displaying half-a-dozen spike-knuckled trench knives. Their blades, lovingly polished to a scinitillating sheen, gleam in the flickering candlelight ( Read more... )

You're...collecting them? [Clearly you're defining the word "hobby" for him right now, Snake-Eyes. Or at least he's editing what he thought might have been the meaning of it.]

[Awkwaaard, though he's not sure why.]

My one passion in life, I'm afraid.

[Audio] key_destination August 29 2011, 01:33:38 UTC

...Huh...That's cool. [What is "passion", he doesn't even...]

I can always summon my weapon, so I guess I've never thought about collecting stuff like that--

[Wait a sec.] Why would you be afraid of it?

[Text] hebime August 29 2011, 01:52:07 UTC

["Summon"? Oh right... man, he'll never truly get used to the idea of real magic.]

I'm not afraid of my favorite pasttime, per se.

It's just that... owning up to a love of blades can send the wrong signal. Then people may have trouble putting their trust in you.

key_destination August 29 2011, 01:55:44 UTC

Waaait, I don't get it. How can you...love something like that? I mean, isn't love something between two people? [Yes, you've caught him on an avalanche of derp questions.]

hebime August 29 2011, 02:11:14 UTC

It certainly is.

Sometimes though, we use 'love' to mean we like something very much.

key_destination August 29 2011, 02:16:25 UTC

That's...confusing. But I think I get it. [There would be a 'real people are confusing' inserted here if he could.]

...I guess you could say I "love" ice cream and sunsets. Does that make sense?

hebime August 29 2011, 02:27:47 UTC

[Ice cream and sunsets? Now we're talking.]

More than loving trench knives, I'll tell you that.

Anything else?

key_destination August 29 2011, 02:30:35 UTC

Ummm...I really really like my friends, but I can't love them so I dunno if that counts.

hebime August 29 2011, 02:58:25 UTC

It does count. You can love your friends too. Just... not in the same way you'd love someone special.

key_destination August 29 2011, 03:04:58 UTC

...That sounds nice.

[There's a long pause as he thinks it over.] I wish I could say that about my friends, but I don't think I can. It wouldn't really make sense.

hebime August 29 2011, 13:56:35 UTC

Maybe it comes down to how far you'd go for them. How much of yourself you're willing to risk for their sake.

Doesn't always mean they're your friends though. I've had comrades I couldn't stand, and vice versa. But out on the field, we all knew we'd die for each other if it came to that.

key_destination August 29 2011, 15:42:48 UTC

[Well that's easier.]

I'd do anything for my friends no matter what.

hebime August 29 2011, 20:49:06 UTC

Then it sounds like you do love them. That's that.

It's wonderful to be sure of your feelings, isn't it?

key_destination August 30 2011, 02:10:57 UTC

...It's actually kinda confusing 'cause I'm not supposed to fe-- [Catching himself fast.] ...err, love. So it doesn't really make sense to me.
