You've got a win streak?

Well, of one. Totally counts, though I'm pretty sure he let me win.

Heh, I say it counts. We'll try not to ruin it.

Thanks. Don't tell him, but I have way more confidence in you kicking his ass than me doing it again. Being a dad requires a totally different kind of stamina than fighting.

That is true . . . but he did say you have a lot of potential, too, so don't sell yourself short.

Did he seriously say that? Man... I think it's more like muscle memory. Rusty, but it's there somewhere.

So he wants to help you shake off the rust.

Maybe. Actually, no, you're probably right. I just feel like I should've kept my mouth shut when I first ran into the guy.

Shut about what?

You know if you don't want him to do it he'll stop, right?

About any skills I may or may not have. I kind of have this problem where I put my foot in my mouth a lot.

And I know - but if I can win, it'll feel so good, so I don't wanna give up so fast, you know?

Never would have guessed you had that problem, at least with this.

That's fair, though. I think I'd be the same way, as much as I wouldn't want to.

I used to get in my fair share of fights, let's say. When I'm in the wrong mood I can get a little cocky about it.

[oh, he looks so amused]

Ahh, a troublemaker. No wonder you fit in so quickly.

Hehe, you could definitely say that. Guess the changeover did make sense with that in mind. I like to think I've gotten a little bit better, but old habits, right?

Heh, I hear you. You never really fully grow out of those.

Seriously. Definitely a lot of things about me that haven't changed a bit.

Mm, it's the same with me. Probably won't ever change, either.

There are definitely worse things to go through your whole life doing.
