godbent | 2nd: The Rekindling of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Action]

[So, dressed in her big white coat, gloves, boots... you name it, the snow is finally last harsh now than it was yesterday and the day before, so Haruhi is setting off to do something after school and the meeting today. The moment she arrived in Luceti - okay not the moment, but within the first day - she heard the guy's voice before. Not Nala's, but the fire one, the one she remembers bonding with- Eferin. It's probably about time she evened the score with him. So today, she jogs out to the edge of the forest, and can be found there leaning against a tree, muttering to herself. If you happen to be good at listening you might hear some highlights, but by and large it's just here holding up a vague conversation with the spirit. Now and again sparks fly around her, but in a way this is welcome.

So, once the bond is secured, she nods to herself and decides to take it for a test run. She looks up at the snowing sky and shakes her head. There's that newfangled Battle Dome - which she doesn't want to go to - or the Barracks, but that's too close to Sokka's place. So in the end, she heads to the Rec Center. She'll be going to the Brigade meeting and school today of course, but the early evening finds her there. Initially, she's just inspecting things here, deciding what they should add in order to make it better...

While sitting in a chair juggling fireballs idly. She's testing her control over the fire element, okay.

Anyone is free to run into her at either time (DUMMY: Right after meeting: Forest's Edge, Evening: Rec Center)
EDIT: Brigade, if you didn't yet, giving me a heads up about things here would be wonderful.]

[A what. How does that even work.] I'm a boy and identify as a boy. There is no 'girl' part to it. I truly don't understand what you're trying to say.

Of course there's some girl, just look at you! [She shakes her head and then points at his legs] You practically have birthing hips.

[His face turns an embarassed red.] What?!

It's not my fault I take after my mother's side of the family! I can assure you I am a boy!

I know, I know. It's fine if you identify that way, but what I'm saying is that you should consider the alternative a little!

No, I mean- [A sigh.]

Look, just because a boy looks feminine doesn't meean he thinks he's a girl! Or whatever you're saying. I am 100% male.

No you're not.

And you know about my body what I don't?

Trust me, I am in no way a girl. [What a laughable, and ironic, concept.]

Have they isolated the human genome back where you live? Or for that matter, do they have ultrasounds? X-rays? Do you even know your blood type?

.....I have no clue what you are talking about, so I'm guessing no.

Then there's absolutely no way for you to be certain about your body.

I'm fairly certain I'm not missing any.... important parts. [Wouldn't you, you know, know?]

I was born a boy, raised as a boy. If I had been a girl or... whatever you're saying, my life would have been far different.

Yeah, born and raised as boy, but that doesn't mean- look! In this world and probably any one which has humans there's some people who are born with both boy and girl parts. Sometimes it's apparent and external, but sometimes it's internal and where you're from clearly doesn't have the medical science to figure that out.

Haven't you ever felt different than other boys or something?

[Because seriously, look at you.]

[Different...? Well.... blushing.] Listen, Like I said, gender is... important in my family. We'd know.

[...Somehow. He's pretty sure.] I am a boy, ok?! That's all there is to it.

[Gotcha. she advances, like a predator on prey, knowing she's going in for the kill]

Come on, being in denial like that's not going to get you anywhere! You should explore your options!

B-but-

I am a boy! I've always been a boy, even if i look a little feminine! Why should I suddenly change that because of some gibberish from another world?

I said sample, sample! Have you ever tried being a girl?

W-why? I don't want to! Besides, have you any idea what- [Shutting up at the horrific mental image of that.]

Yeah, yeah, social consequences whatever. Who cares about those in Luceti unless you're a murdering nutbag?

Social consequences would be putting it lightly. [It might even be considered treason to the throne.]

This also does not change the fact I am not, nor do I want to be, a girl.

And that doesn't change that you've never tried it.

This is Luceti. I've.... been a girl on occasion. From experiments. I didn't enjoy it.

[Haruhi should feel amazed. This is the first and hopefully last time he shall ever mention this purposefully.]

In retrospect or at the time?

Both. [Ok, so as Freyja he didn't know, but details.]

Well either way, those situations are forced on you... Wouldn't it be better to get a choice in the matter?

[She shifts his position a little, sighing and tapping a finger on her cheek once as she considers]

Why would I choose such a thing....?
