I'm curious-- how many people have enemies here? And if you do, how long have they stuck around?

Mine seem to come in waves. I've seen a few Avatars, and more than a few Zukos... but most haven't been from my world, and they never stay long.

Perhaps they're intimidated.

There's no such thing as an honest thief.

There're thieves who steal it and say "never seen it, don't know what you mean!" and thieves who'll fight'cha for it openly. I'm the latter. It's not really yers if yer worried there's a way someone could get it back. Then it's just theirs in your possession. I'm too greedy for that.

That's still being a thief. It just means you're not a sneaky one, and you'll be more likely to get caught.

Can't argue with that! But, you're the direct type, too.

Usually.

I like that. Kids should be spirited.

I'm not a kid.

Nn? Really? My bad. You just age really well, then... Still, I can't say I don't like yer type. Even if it seems a little brash, it's spirit that counts, right? Spirit! You need enemies around to keep you like this well into your old age!

By the time the war is over, I won't have any more enemies at all.

Out of curiosity, how old do you think I am?

Then you might become a boring old hag. Hope you have a few little rebel factions to crush, at least. A war's never really over for a good five years after all the peace treaties are signed.

Nn? I was gonna guess fifteen or sixteen, but looks are deceiving, right? You could be a hundred and sixteen.

I'm not going to become boring, no matter what. And I'm certainly not going to become a hag. Governing a country is hardly an easy task.

... I'm sixteen.

Not as exciting as running across the world threatening to crush people's skulls though, is it? Yer gonna miss these days!

...Sixteen's not a kid?

I don't run around the world anymore-- unless you count going to Earth, and it's not as if I do any fighting there.

No, it isn't.

Really? The thing I remember you for is dashing around trying to kill some Able guy or whatever... That a special case instead of the rule?

What, you mean Cain? That's different. I'm still going to kill him, certainly, but he has nothing to do with my world or my larger goals.

Oh. That's now how you handle all your people problems?

That's how I handle the ones who make me really, really angry.

Kinda disappointed you're not that spirited about everything, but I guess if everything's a big deal, nothing's a big deal.

May you get really, really angry about somethin' at least once a year. It'll keep you from getting stiff in the office or wherever you work from, since you don't travel much when yer not on the hunt.

I am spirited. I'm just not overly brash.

I don't need to be killing someone to keep from getting stuff.

Just don't get old when you become an adult.

I told you, I am an adult.

Yer mature.

A mature adult. What's your point?

If it's a mature kid, there's nothin' insulting about the word 'kid', right?

Yes there is, because a sixteen-year-old former soldier and current ruler is not a child.
