[Hatori blinks at him and nods. Fair play.]

Oh I see...so essentially they wanted to play Rugby but a safer version? Doesn't that defeat the point of playing Rugby?

[Not that he'd want to play the real version, a thug's game played by gentlemen he'd always heard.]

I'm Hatori Sohma, sorry I don't believe we've met.

Gene Watson.

[He thought about what Hatori said and shook his head.]

Well, kind of. It's more like...American's are wimps when it comes to making something traditional, twisting it in some weird way and calling it original when it's really something old to begin with.

To rationalize and sensationalize something that's been around for centuries becomes counterproductive on a grand scale when it's already known to be an adaptation to begin with.

Personally, I hate this sport.

It's a pleasure.

[He covers his mouth covering a slightly amused smirk - after all it's not polite.]

I'm going to remain ambivilent on this subject.

[He pulls out his pack of cigarettes as he stubs out his previous one, but thinks to offer it silently, holding the packet forward. Be warned they're menthols.]

[Gene reaches out and takes one. He's not one to pass down an offer.]

Thanks.

[He looks back out on the field.]

I never could understand the purpose for it other than to beat the other guy up...kinda like boxing.

[He smiles and pops one into his mouth and gives him his lighter. Others before yourself.]

Don't mention it.

[He follows his gaze and lets out a humourless laugh.]

It's just an excuse to be violent. Lets people vent their frustrations legitimately, in my opinion at least.

[Gene inhales and coughs. He nearly had forgotten how strong menthol was.]

Mm hm.

Better to take it out now than to bully some poor kid at the lockers.

Sorry, are you alright?

[He almost reaches out to pat him on the back, but stops himself before his nerves can even make his arm move. Keep distance.]

Lesser of two evils. Though considering this isn't a real High School I doubt that's a risk.

[Gene couldn't help but laugh at the part that this wasn't a real school. To him, this was like one of those reality shows that follow people around through a scenario just to see how they react to certain situations.]

I'm okay. It's funny that you mention reality. This isn't real. It can't be. If it were, where's the assistant teachers and where are the teachers? It's like...kinda weird.

There's a few around. Though I've noticed a few are facelss. Doesn't make sense. The principal'd be better off a poster girl than running this place.

It's just for the author's amusement.

[Gene looked up quickly.]

Author? As in....a writer? Now this is weird.

[He nods]

According to Mello we've been kidnapped and placed into a story. It doesn't make any sense but it's all I've got to go on.

[He sputters.]

Okay, now it's official. I've flipped. I cracked at tax time and I've lost my full mind. This has got to be the weirdest event of my life. What about you? Do you believe what Mello says and who is Mello? He sounds like a hippie.

[He inhales casually and exhales with a sigh.]

I'm beyond caring right now. If that's the status quo then I can't do anything about it. Yes, it's distressing and I think that she's being selfish doing this, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Mello is far from, he's got one of the foulest mouths I've come across not to mention a bad temper.

Yikes, that's pretty bad on both.

Mm, I'll say.

[He runs a hand through his hair and sighs.]

Either way. I'm sadly going to have to adopt a friend of mine's outlook for now: Que céra, céra.

[Gene looks back onto the field and nods.]

I know what you mean. At least you have a friend. I'm still getting them.

[He chuckles]

Quality over quantity, always remember that one.

[Admittedly Shigure..had his moments, but still. Shigure was Shigure.]

It's a good rule.

[Gene can count in his life only 4 friends and one of them he married but was on the verge of divorce when she died. He's still hurting about it but he isn't willing to talk about it. He inhales the smoke and blows it out slowly.]

That takes time...you know...to build the trust to make it happen.

[He nods in agreement, to be honest after things with Kana it'd be a wonder if he'd ever trust anyone again with the secret of the Sohma curse outside of the family and Tohru.]

Admittedly it's just as much down to how willing you are to let yourself trust them, not just to be won over - you have to allow yourself that much.

[He already knew that lesson from when he had the help from the hotel staff when the governor was being targeted and he was supposed to pull the trigger.]

Yeah...

[He bends down and plucks a blade of grass.]

Too many variables can twist the outcome which has been known to happen from time to time.

[He watches him examine the grass and glances back out over the playing field]

Or sometimes the all too predictable ones.

Yeah. Life isn't the same when that one life changing event happens. It can change a person to the very core.
