Who: Uchiha Sasuke+YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Jan. 31

A few things.

There are a good number of fighters here or people otherwise trained in combat. I'm interested in observing people's abilities or training, or at least discussing what they can do. Spars could also be arranged if you want some exercise.

Secondly, I'll take recommendations for good literature available around here.

Finally, if you know how to knit or crochet then I'll offer you up to ten credits to watch you create something.

[ Yeah, this isn't weird. For anyone interested in action he'll be holed up in his room on the Huntress! ]

[ well, he called her punch a disgrace the last time, so she's not replying to that. she can do some knitting and sewing though! perks of being friends with kanji. ]

I really liked The Little Prince.
It's fiction though, so I'm not sure if that's the type of book you're looking for.
I'm still practicing my knitting, but I'm better at sewing if that counts.

[ Let's spar, Nanako, let's get jacked. ]

I'm looking for all types of books. I didn't put a limitation on them beyond that they be of remotely decent quality. I don't have high hopes.

What's the theme of the book?

[ no, thank you. ]

But what someone thinks is "good" is different from what you'd think is "good", right?

There's a few
But I think the most important one is how it deals with life and death
Even though it's a children's book, my teacher says that adults can read it too
Because when you grow older and experience more things you'll see it differently

[ Well you'll never be swoll and not distasteful like that. ]

Probably. I can only judge by my own standards.

If it's such a useful book then I'll seek it out. Do you know where it might be possible to find a copy?

[ well maybe you just have bad taste. ]

What are your standards?

I think you could find it in the library
It's a very famous book from my world

I prefer a book with a message. Something to be learned.

I'll look for it.

Okay
Will you tell me if you liked it?

If you answer a question of mine.

What is it?

Why did you cry?

Because I was upset

Why were you upset?

Why do you want to know?

Because I feel it may become important for me to understand.

I was upset because when you called my punch disgraceful I felt disgraceful as a person
I also felt that I let Chie-nee down because she's been teaching me self defense back home
And the nightclub was scary
That's why I cried and ran away because it's weird to cry in front of other people

[ His initial instinct is to take each and every sentence and break it down, explain to her why she's wrong, and slowly invalidate her feelings. It's what he knows, after all, what he understands from very limited contact with adults when he was a child. What he does to himself on a regular basis as a defense mechanism whenever he starts feeling weak or tired.

If he had cried in front of his father he would've received a much sterner lecture, and when he did cry in front of Itachi there hadn't been a single ounce of pity or remorse shown on his brother's face. There'd just been mockery. That's what he understands, and that's why it's so easy to attach negative feelings to that display of emotion, but he halts his own train of thought as he stares at his communicator.

The fact that she isn't here in person gives him more time to reflect. She isn't him, and she shouldn't have to be. That's a good thing, isn't it? ]

I see.

I won't encourage you to go into a place like that again. Your punch does need work, but it may have been more effective against someone else. I'm just used to harder ones.

[ that's partially why she was hesitant to tell him in the first place. her father always did tell her big girls don't cry, and nanako was a big girl in a sense. she practically raised herself after her mother died and there was no one at home to cry to anyway. she doesn't make a habit of crying, and it frustrated her how easily sasuke could.

so it surprises her when she reads what he says. she was expecting him to belittle her further, call her weak again or disgraceful. ]

It's my fault for going in, I could have said no
But thank you

Do you think you could teach me?

[ ... ]

You want me to teach you how to punch?

Yeah
If you're okay with it?

[ Where is the escape button. ]

Wouldn't you prefer to learn from someone gentler? Like Ino.

I'm asking her too!
But if it makes you uncomfortable to teach me then I understand

I'm not uncomfortable.

[ He's uncomfortable. ]

You just don't need two teachers for something so basic as a punch. You'll master it quickly.

But Chie-nee says that everyone does it differently
Like big bro's punches are different from kanji-nii's punches
And his punches are different from Yosuke-nii's

I want to learn different ones
Then I can find something that fits me better

And you think it's likely that my form will match you better than Ino's will.

[ ... he's not sure if he should've made that a question or not. Why is this happening to him. ]

Fine.
