that its a good thing the pipe is not allowed at school.

doesn't understand why he thinks so. "Explain?"

"You could hurt people with it-aru! That wouldn't be good."

frowns. "But I don't intend to hurt anyone, da?" Well... unless they tried to hurt him first of course. Or under special circumstances, but-

for the most part, no, he didn't intend on hurting anyone.

still thinks that it would not be a good idea. "But you could hurt someone, even on accident!"

doesn't think so. He keeps it by his side at all times! "I would never do something like that!" ...As if the word 'accident' didn't mean--

what it meant.

rolls his eyes. "Really, its not that hard to understand. It's just not a good idea-aru~!"

frowns. "Maybe not to you, but to me it's important!" He clings to his pipe. He'll take it anyway!

nobody gets hurt with that. "Fine! But if you get in trouble, I warned you."

isn't going to get in trouble! Because he won't hurt anyone! And if he somehow does he still won't get in trouble for certain... reasons.--

"A rule like that is just stupid, da?"

shrugs. "No, I think that rule makes sense-aru."

shakes his head. "But it isn't a weapon!"

sighs. "Yes, it is. If you were to get angry and hit someone with it, then it'd hurt them and is considered a weapon.

, "I can do that with a chair, da? Chairs aren't considered weapons!" There were plenty of chairs in the school.

"But chairs are necessary for classrooms! That is totally different."

, "So I can hit people with chairs then?"

"No! You can't hit people at all, you shouldn't be fighting at school!"

, "But I'm not going to use it to fight! That's my point, da?" It wasn't a weapon! Just like chairs weren't!

"But you don't NEED it for school. You need the chairs." He sighed, getting a headache.

, "I need it! I always walk with it!" He would understand if he had something like this!

"Then get a walking cane! You don't need a dangerous pipe-aru!"

, "A walking cane is different!" It wasn't the same if it was a walking cane.

"But still...that would be more appropriate than a pipe."

, "What if I replaced something valuable to you? Would it be the same, then?" He frowns.

"No, but nothing important to me is a weapon!"

how it's a weapon if he doesn't use it as one!

there's no point in trying to argue and sighs.

if walking around with a chair would constitute the same problem.

the other would understand that chairs and water pipes are different.

contemplating walking around school with picket signs that say: 'If waterpipes are weapons, chairs are too!'

that would be a stupid idea.

doesn't see how it would. His logic is perfectly sound!

doesn't agree with that logic.

start carrying a chair around then in protest.

doesn't think that would be a very good idea.

it would! It would show that waterpipes are as much as a weapon as a *chair* is. And if a chair isn't a weapon, then waterpipes aren't!

that the other won't get in trouble for doing something silly like that. "Your crazy-aru..."

could say the same thing for Yao!

doesn't think he's crazy! Ivan is the one carrying around weapons...

doesn't think he himself is crazy either! Yao was the one accusing him of having weapons!

Ivan was the one who went around carrying weapons! And he's the one who turned chairs into weapons!

that doesn't count because chairs *are* weapons! Just as much as waterpipes are!

up on this argument. Ivan can carry around his waterpipe, and he won't say anything...

start carrying around a chair along with his waterpipe now. That will show them!

decides that its easier to give in.

if he can make picket signs too.

how Ivan will carry a pipe, chair, and picket signs all at once.

isn't. He's going to carry his pipe and his chair one day, and then his pipe and picket signs the next. Or he can tape a sign to the chair!

he ought to walk away before Ivan gets any weirder.

doesnt think that he's weird. In fact, Yao should join him! But he holds the opposite view as him... so that kind of fails anyway in itself.

"I'm going to go...and eat some Cha Siu Bao."

blinks and tilts his head. "Can I come? I'll make borscht!" Their argument seemed to be forgotten. For now.

shrugs. "Why not-aru?" Hopefully the argument was forgotten....he was getting a headache.

smiles at this... but then his face falls at a thought. "Can I bring my waterpipe?"

about it for a few moments. 'Well...are you going to hit me with it? If you are, then no. You'll have to leave it-aru."

shakes his head. "If I was going to hit you with something, it'd be a chair."

frowns. "In that case, no chairs."

nods. "That is fine then, da." He would rather take his waterpipe anyway. Not to mention there were probably chairs at Yao's if needed.

he doesn't get attacked with a chair, that wouldn't be very good.

won't... unless a problem arises as to which he needs to!

doesn't want something like that to happen.

doesn't think it will.

starts to lead the other towards the home ec. room so that he could make his food.
