[cowboy_newsie]

Don't think about it.

[unfeasible]

Yeah. Great.

[cowboy_newsie]

I didn't say it were fun, but it's the best you's gonna get.

[unfeasible]

Fine. So what're you doing to take your mind off home?

[cowboy_newsie]

Ambulance squad, school, all that stuff they talk to ya about when ya first get here.

[unfeasible]

What, you do all that?

[cowboy_newsie]

And cook dinner, ain't I somethin'?

[unfeasible]

Yeah, you and me both. Fucking heroes. What's your name, anyway?

[cowboy_newsie]

Jack Kelly. You?

[unfeasible]

Haha! You're a JACK OF ALL TRADES. Pfft. [snort] I'm Naruto. You're not bad. It's guys like us that keep the world from falling apart, am I right?

[cowboy_newsie]

Yeah, ain't heard that one before. And o'course it is. The whole island's probably held together just between the two o' us.

[unfeasible]

Shut up, it's still funny. You dunno how many fishcake jokes I get. Y'know, these people don't know how lucky they are that we're around. Where's our parade, I ask you!

[cowboy_newsie]

Fishcake? Where the hell do they get fishcake from? And don't hold your breath, there won't be none. It'll just be you and me, workin' without reward for years and years. 'S kinda sad.

[unfeasible]

[cough] 'S what my name means. And whirlpool, but that's not as funny. And hey, we got each other's backs. I'll drink to you any day, brother.

[cowboy_newsie]

[he laughs-- not meanspirited! But it is kind of funny.]

Deal. And hey, least you don't got no girl's name for your last name.

[unfeasible]

Yeah, see? [doesn't mind much]

What, Kelly? 'S not so bad to me. You should hear some of the names I know.
