"That's no reason for wanting to become a hero."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:24 am

"Well it's not why I want to, it's why I have to," Ross pointed out. "I mean, if I can't get hurt, there's a lot of things I should do that other people can't!"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:06 am

"Why? Why should you have to do anything?" he stressed.

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:13 am

"Why shouldn't I?" Ross challenged back, apparently growing some stones for a minute. "Do you have to have a reason to want to help people? Isn't it enough to want to and be able to?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:56 am

"Yes! Yes you do have to have a reason. No one would choose that sort of lifestyle without one."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:02 am

"What's your reason, sir?" he asked.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:05 am

"To serve my country, and live up to the examples set by my forefathers."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:15 am

"Isn't that just a way of saying 'because it's the right thing to do' with more words?" Ross pointed out.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:20 am

"Of course it's the right thing to do. So is being a doctor or a fireman or a school teacher."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:29 am

"Oh god, I couldn't be a school teacher. I hated school," Ross said, making a face.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:39 am

"Well, I went to public school, so I suppose I can't comment on YOUR quality of education."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:43 am

"I went to public school too!" Ross protested.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:44 am

"I thought your parents were in danger of losing their house?"

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:46 am

"Doesn't mean they don't want me to have good schooling," he shot back. He had been in the good school district, after all.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:48 am

"They obviously couldn't afford to fritter such money away."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:54 am

"And that's why I can't let them d- what do you know about my parents!?" Ross shot back, catching himself halfway through admitting that no, his parents didn't have very much money, and turning red at the embarassing slip.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:04 am

"What you've told me, and that's all. They couldn't be affording to put you though a special education program if they can't afford to keep their own house..."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:08 am

"What does that matter," he shot back, turning bright red in embarrassment. "But they're counting on me and everyone else is counting on me and I'm not going to let them down."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:12 am

Tommy looked at him. "But you've got a long way to go, as you are now."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:13 am

"Well yeah. I know that," Ross admitted again.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:22 am

"Well, keep at it, I suppose."

by **Ross Jacobson** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:36 pm

"Yes, sir," Ross said, looking fairly put in his place. "I'll... uh... I'll let you get back to your training," he added sheepishly as he walked away to summon up the door.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:56 pm

"This? This isn't training."
