Fish

Ryuen: Wanna talk about something random?

Mouse-chan: Sure!

Ryuen: Okay. Pick something random.

Mouse-chan: Ummmmmm....fishing.

Ryuen: Well. Much as I'd love to talk about fishing...I'm afraid I don't have much experience in the area. ^_^()

Mouse-chan: Chichiri enjoys fishing. For he is a monk, and enjoys placid things.

Ryuen: Indeed, indeed, he does and he is and he does. --;; ...Okay, perhaps not quite this random. ^_~

Mouse-chan: And Tamahome, too, has been known to catch fish with his bare hands. And Mits once fought Miaka for a fish.

Ryuen: I enjoy fish sticks.

Mouse-chan: Ahhh, the symbolism of fish in FY. ^_~ But we never see Hotohori of Nuriko eating fish. Maybe because Hotohori is rich, and prefers to eat other, more palatable things, such as chocolate cake.

Ryuen: Hmm, indeed. Or chicken.

Mouse-chan: Or baked potatoes.

Ryuen: Mmmmm...I bet he lays off the butter, though.

Mouse-chan: Or cheese. Did they have cheese in Ancient China?

Ryuen: And...bread?

Mouse-chan: Yes. Ryuen bread.*

Ryuen: What, no two U's? ^_~

Mouse-chan: RyUUUUUUUUen bread.

Ryuen: o.O;

Mouse-chan: All right: Ryuen vs. Ryuuen. Ahem. Ryuuen is more...symmetrical.

Ryuen: I prefer "Kourin" only because of the "Nuriko" scrambled letter things**...but, I like the way "Ryuen" looks better.

Mouse-chan: But then, it also sounds like someone throwing up. [demonstrates] RyUUUUen!!! Like a German guy throwing up.

Ryuen: Ahhhh... All right, then. ^_~.

Mouse-chan: Except the U should then carry an Umlaut.

Ryuen: *large sweatdrop*

Mouse-chan: To get the full regurgatory thrust. ^_~

*This arose when I told Ryuen my menu for dinner, and they were serving rye bread, and, well...yeah. Rye, Ryuen, same diff.
** The letters in Kourin can be mixed around to form Nuriko!! Whoah!!! Ryuen figured that out. How cool.
