I'm beginning to question your taste in friends, Short Stop. [First Loki, now some giant bird.]
[ RUDE, Tony! Soren is like her best friend. She predictably puffs out her cheeks, annoyed. ]
Soren's great! He's my partner!! [ YEAH, man. Soren's totally great, Soren is on board this train. He's also eyeing Tony with equal skepticism. Sometimes Ikki has weird friends. ] Do you not like Pokemon or something?

Have any ball games in your world, kiddo?
[action, november seventeenth]
Buuuuut the biggest sport is pro bending!
[action, november seventeenth]
...Right. Well, I'm going to ahead and say baseball isn't like any of those things.
[action, november seventeenth]
