"I don't know about futile. It might be hard, but...Well we must have learned them at some point, so we should be able to unlearn them." I reply to Yukino. I'm too wrapped up in thought to notice anything else.
Yuki tilted her head at the Rookie waving at them. After a few moments, she waved in return. Turning to Tanner, she scratched the back of her head. [color=bb66bb] "The saying 'old habits die hard' comes to mind here." Heh... I should know... It's getting harder to not try to stab a few of these people... [/color] Her hand twitched a bit as it tapped the sheath of her katana.
"But it's not impossible. Social changes have been made before." I say in return, thinking back to the civil rights movement and the decades after that; how racism was, by slow, crawling degrees, elimined from the general consciousness of an entire nation.
[color=bb66bb] "Sure, they've been made, but not every being can be purged of their thoughts and prejudices, no matter how hard one tries. Settling for just the general consensus doesn't sound like what you're after though." [/color] Yuki replied as she laced her fingers behind her head.
"Well, general consensus at least has a chance to lead to full out change." I say to Yukino.
Yuki pauses for a few moments. [color=bb66bb] "...True enough." [/color] She turns to look over toward Tanner, a small mischievous smirk on her face. [color=bb66bb] "I've gotta be honest. I didn't expect someone who ran around in a power suit to be so aware. I think I like you." [/color]
"Well, I guess you won't be surprised to know I didn't willingly chose to go into this line of work. Soldiering I mean. And, uh, I suppose, I mean based on first impressions and, like, what we've talked about...I mean how we've been talking so far...No...I...I think I like you too, based on our previous interactions thus far." I say, speaking almost unintelligibly as I start to get a little flustered.
Yuki giggled a bit at Tanner getting flustered again. Feeling a bit flirty, she joined her hands behind her back and seemed to slide next to Tanner, lightly pressing herself to his side. [color=bb66bb] "So... why did you chose this line of work?" [/color]

Ness was still asleep, the earrings still attached to her ears. She seemed to be snoring lightly.

OOC: Tanner is about 8 ft tall in his armor.
"...Well...A complicated series of circumstances..." I say, trying to avoid the conversation.

OOC: Huh, about the same height then otherwise then.
"...I didn't have any money, or a job, so I went to the military and I was drafted." I explain quickly. "You might not want to get that close. I may have pretty good control of this suit, but you never can be too careful." I add, warning Yukino of the possible danger of trying to cuddle with a mech suit.

Looking around the room, Jessica noticed that all of her companions were still asleep. Yeesh, and I thought my 14 hours were a bit much... Jessica yawned a bit and thought, Still kinda tired though... Noticing that Ness was still wearing her earrings, she planted her face in the palm of her left hand, remembering that doing so with her right was an unnecessarily painful experience. Why didn't I remember to take those off?... Seeing nothing else to do for the time being, she knelt down next to Ness bedside and examined her new earrings.
