Everyone gets more critical of media as they get older. There's nothing wrong with that. It's the same with anything..Comics, movies, television...Of course I'm gonna complain when they do something dumb like crown the freaking maharaja UGH but it doesn't make me any less passionate...When wrestling is good, it's GREAT, Jude.
And for the record...[She bites her lip]
I don't like having the thing I like belittled by someone who is supposed to support me and my interests.
Mark!
[and she'll roll back up to a sitting position with a huff.]
[Oh, jeez, now he's done it. Jude's at a loss for words for the moment. He can just feel Ayano's anger washing over him.]
...
... Ayano, I'm not... [He sighs and moves to sit right next to her.] I'm sorry. You're my friend and I also care if you're upset. I just thought that, maybe... I don't know. You love wrestling even when you're angry about it, I get it.
It's Jinder, dude! Jinder Mahal, former jobber overlord of 3MB. [She points to the television, where a tall, shredded Punjabi man is celebrating with the WWE Championship.]

[HUFF. HUFF. HUFF. Huff. Huff.....huff.........]
...Okay, I'm sorry for blowing up on you. And calling you a mark.
I will put you in a crossface chickenwing if you try to tell me wrestling is kids' stuff again, though.
no subject
... Er, not to reiterate it's for kids or anything. I'm fully aware many adults are really into it!
... Somehow...
[Jude pauses for a moment.] So, who's the freaking maharaja? I can't say I remember him.

Look at this vascular piece of trash...
[Long pause.......]
He does look kind of good with it, though.
[LONGER PAUSE......]
...And the Maharaja is a cool nickname.
[LONGEST PAUSE!!!!]
Frick it, I'm on board.
