Every great tree, must bloom its flowers,

A man that treats women like toys for his own desires and amusement.

From:

Now that sounds to me like you're being underestimated sweetie...tell Jinxie what's wrong.

From:

No one ever tells me anything that's going on! They always say I'm too young!

From:

Being older doesn't make them any better than us!

From:

~~The age thing again...?~~ Yes, Mother.

[ooc;Strikes hackable; if you try hard.]]

From:

People never tell me anything!

From:

~~Wait... so does that mean Auntie Hoshi treats other women like that? Weird...~~

Oh, alright. Erm, thanks.

[ooc;Strikes hackable; if you try hard, yada, yada.]]

From:

~~Not quite. It's a grown up thing, Nephew. Don't look too far into it.~~

From:

~~Tch. You're just like everyone else. Using that stupid age thing...~~

From:

Only because it is something of an adult thing.
Honestly Anna and Yoh and all them shouldn't know what that word means either yet.

But to give a proper example....Well I think Ryu would fit the bill if he, if he knew what he was doing when he hit on women.

From:

Bah, where I come from people as young as 10 have to shoulder great responsibility because of the powers they have, and the ones who abuse it are taken down by the ones who do it right.

So what is it you're up to that your parents say you're not old enough to do? Maybe I can help.

From:

But it's just a word.

Ryu-san? But he's a pushover.

From:

It is but it's a word with a...naughty meaning behind it.

Like I said, he doesn't know what he's doing.

From:

Sounds pretty cool!

Lots of things! But it's usually that they won't let me fight or tell me what things mean.

From:

Naughty? What the hell do you mean 'naughty'? Like bad? I'm not six, you knowl you don't have to use baby words on me.

From:

True, you aren't six, but you aren't 18 either.

Naughty as in it vaguely involves sexual interactions, Hana.

From:

It's nice of them to want to protect you, I never had that growing up, but at the same time they need to realize that when you tell a kid their too young to know something it makes them just want to know it more.

When it comes to fighting they obviously just want you to wait until you're stronger...after all no matter how strong you are now there's no substitute for experience and that comes with age. However you can't ever gain experience without actually participating so it's kind of a pick your battles sort of thing.

As for not explaining what things mean...well...I can't be sure but I can take a guess at why they avoid that one. They're embarrassed. After all your parents and Hoshi aren't much older then you right now so they don't have enough years under their belts to have adequate explanations for things. In a way it's better they don't try to explain certain things till they've actually experienced them enough themselves to have an idea of what their talking about.

How old are you again Hana?

From:

I've been fighting since before I was six with people who are much older than me, experience shouldn't have anything to do with it.

... Huh?

Nine.

From:

Quit it with the age thing, you ass-

Sexual... Oh! EW! Nasty!

From:

Yeah I thought so.

It does though sweetie, I'm not saying your too young to fight I'm just say some opponents have an advantage over you because they've been around longer. After all the more time you've been alive the more time you've had to amass skills and knowledge.

Lemme give you an example, you'd say Hoshi's pretty bad ass right? But if our beloved younger Hoshi got into a fight with the Hoshi from the time you came from (Older Hoshi) Who'd win and why?

From:

You brought that on yourself, being curious.
