Fifty-Eighth Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

[Housemates will probably find Roxas in the kitchen with newspapers on the table, a palate of paint, some paper...and a very disgruntled cat who doesn't understand why his human wants him to dip his pretty paws in the wet colors.]

Nea, come on. You were doing really well, too. You can't just give up now.

[There's a hiss from the cat before he swats at the paint palate. Roxas sighs and shakes his head, giving up for now. Artists can be pretty temperamental, after all. Instead he'll focus himself on the journal, opening it up and idly leafing through it. His conversation with Naoto's been on his mind, and he has an important question.]

So...what's the main difference between being a boy and being a girl? I mean, girls can do things boys can, right? So what difference does it make? [He doesn't quite get why people were upset with Naoto for being a girl detective, that's all.] Answer me that.

And answer me this: how come everyone else got a horse last week except for me? Total bummer.

I've got something cool to show you, but you have to go to the battle dome with me.

Do you need anything? [He's worried about you, bff dos. He's in overprotective mode now.]

Why should people 'get' horses anyway?

[Ponies aren't pets. B|]

Well, there are the physical differences to take into account.

[And not responding to the horse bit because he'd rather obliterate that event from his mind.]

[... There's like a million ways he could answer that question. Buuut he's not getting into that.]

Well, it's not like everyone got a horse. I mean, I just got stuck with clothes!

... You know, if you're going to ask something like that you should be prepared to get some crude answers from people here. [ her own voice sounds a little deadpan. ]

Oho?

[Ignoring all that other stuff yes we are.]

[ Tenten offers a brief nod and a hmph for all of Roxas's reasoning. Someone has a right idea. ]

That's right. The only difference lies in biology. The rest of the differences are created and forced by society with stereotypes. Because of this, many people believe women can't be as strong or adept as men in hand to hand combat, or they can't be as tough as men. This isn't true, so it may not count unless you think that because people widely believe in this crap, it makes a "difference". [ The last part is said with a slightly mocking tone towards those that do think it's a difference. ]

[Naoto can't say she's particularly surprised that Roxas is still thinking about their conversation though it is a little strange. No one's ever really been this concerned about it--except for Souji of course since he had to deal with her problems for the longest time. So in a way, it also makes her happy]

Have you received any answers that satisfy you yet?

[ ... Xion sees the filter, and decides she'll just go talk to him in person. Thankfully, it's been colder out, so she's got justification for the turtle-neck sweater she's wearing as she peeks into the kitchen where-- ]

... Roxas? What are you doing?

[ Were, rather. But still, what is with all that stuff. ]

[doubleppk]

Girls can have babies and get pregnant, guys can't.

Except seahorses. Seahorses are weird.
