[This is a really...odd question to ask. And Kaneda knows it. But something's been on his mind as of late, especially with his new job working out the way it is. Boredom begets creativity, and thus the feed opens up to our favourite biker teen sitting at his desk in Neo Tokyo, sliding back and forth on his rolling stool as he plays with a thumbtack.

Poking his skin lightly with the tip. It makes no impression, and it's as if it were going into silly putty rather than actual skin.]

Does...anyone know where to get something that can block my powers? I don't know, like a magic bracelet or something?

[He has his reasons.

He totally has his reasons.]

I want a tattoo.

[They're related, honest.]

Is it really alright for me to ask that of a stranger though?

[She does want to see, but it seems like a really odd request.]

...I could ask for you.

He's my roommate.

Wah?! You have such a cool--

[cow? person? UHHH.]

--person as a roommate?! Wouldn't he think it's strange coming from you?!

[Now that gets a laugh out of him. He'd never admit this to The Iron Bull himself, but...yeah, he is pretty cool.]

Just wait til you meet him--you'll see exactly what I'm saying. Guy tried to throw fish at a fountain all cause he heard about some legend that they'd turn into dragons.

[Granted, he's the one who told him. But no one needs to know that.]

[If he hadn't said that legend was fake she would've thrown a fish into the fountain too. She wants to see a real-life dragon!]

I wouldn't blame him; some legends can be true, you know!

When do you think I can meet him?

[...The Iron Bull is going to love you.]

Leeeet's see. Pretty sure I could swing this week sometime. Maybe you can stop by for one of his burgers he's been trying to make.

...[His face has a sudden realization at that, brows furrowing. As if there was something REALLY wrong with what he just said.]

He's a cow that makes burgers.

[She wasn't sure why his expression changed so drastically until the words clicked for her too. She likes burgers, but--!!]

He--what!? How could he do that to his brethren!! They didn't do anything wrong!!

We should ask him! Get the truth we deserve!

[Kaneda, you are literally just doing this to be a shit at The Iron Bull.]

Yeah! Call him right now!! He's your roommate, isn't he?! So he should be right there!

[Unless he's not at home then welp three-way call maybe]

[He's at 'work' (work is kind of a generous term for what he does) but you can bet your ASS he'll call him.]

Alright--give me ooooooone minute.

[How does he 3-way call on this thing.

BEEP.]

Whoops. That's not it. OKAY FOUND IT-

--Hold on!

[Says the bellowing voice of the Iron Bull. He is in fact at home. However, he appears to be in the process of either cleaning (HAHAH) or fishing a rubber mouse out from under the living room recliner.]

[By lifting said recliner.]

Yeah? How's it going, kid?

[Kaneda, that is not a cow? Do cows even have horns?? AND SHE'S JUST KINDA STARING IN AWE AT THE NEW PERSON LIFTING THE RECLINER.

THERE ARE LESS CONSPICUOUS WAYS TO DO THAT!!

This is too much for her to take in right now so all she does is stare expectantly at the screen where Kaneda is. Please ask the question and perhaps leak your name somehow cause she forgot to ask.]

[IT IS SO A COW! BOY COWS HAVE HORNS GOSH!]

...

Oi, Bull, this girl heard from someone that you're making burgers.

Cooking your own kind.

Hm? Oh. Hey. How's it going?

[Said to the new face, while he settles the chair back down, grinning.]

So I'm guessing you told her I was a real cow? Classy. [A wink -- no small feat when you only have one eye to work with.]

[Normally Mafuyu wouldn't be this shy, but Kaneda was right; he is kind of cool?? Look at that eye patch, he's like a pirate! She's still unsure of what to say so she sort of does a small nod and bow at his greeting.]

Ah... hello..

[That shyness is short-lived however when she hears the latter part and ends up blurting out a bit too loudly:]

Wait, you're not?! Is the singing and dancing a lie too!!

Hey, I didn't lie!

Oi, Cow, tell her your name! Back up my credibility here!

And tell her you sing and dance when you're drunk. Cause you do.

Why the fuck are you telling people I'm a cow again.

[But he just sounds more resigned than anything else.]

I'm the Iron Bull, I'm Qunari, and who the hell doesn't sing when they're drunk?

Woah, Iron Bull?! So you're made of iron?! How can you sing--or talk--if you're metal!

[THIS IS IMPORTANT. DON'T QUESTION HER LINE OF THOUGHT.]

But bulls aren't cows!! Your credibility is forever ruined!!

They're boy cows!

I'm still right!

[Because...that's the only important part of this conversation, apparently.]

Do I look like I'm made of metal?

[Kaneda where do you meet these people.]

I named myself "Bull" for the horns. Clearly.

[There's a pause as she squints at the screen.]

... Maybe. I can't really tell through the screen, to be honest.

[And she barely knows anything about phones so there could be some sort of filter that disguises it? Who knows.]

So, are you guys saying that boy cows are supposed to be... bulls?

[She thought they were just cows without utters so they still looked cute.]

...

Yeah, kinda.

[This is a rare moment--this is truly a rare moment where Kaneda feels like the more scholastically superior one.

This. Never happens.]

Well, I sure as fuck aren't a woman.

[He's very much Not One. But he says it teasingly enough -- in that way only Bull can do. The tone that says he's a heartbeat away from laughing.]

[Just going to go off screen for a bit in search of a notebook. Visualizations always helped her understand things better. Although she's not too sure how to convey her writing since that probably doesn't get translated? She was going to write in kanji since one definitely looks Japanese, but the other one looks???

WELL, this is the United States so English has to be universal right... At least it's just writing yes and no instead of a paragraph.

HERE WE GO, GUYS. SHE RAISES UP THIS QUICK DRAWING.]

So. [Points to the drawing with the "No" under it.] Cows are females and have utters like so, right?

[Shifts to the drawing with the "Yes" under it.]

Then, bulls are the ones with horns...

[Finally she points to the drawing with the "???" under it.]

Then what is a Qunari? Is that like another bull but can stand on hind legs?

[And don't worry, Kaneda, she didn't want you to feel left out in this drawing so she drew you too.]

[It's very much appreciated, believe him. Because his eyes are lighting the hell up at his little caricature, smile extending as wide as his face will allow.]

Whoa, it's me!

[Yes, Kaneda. It's you.]

[Hope you didn't want too much clarification on what a Qunari exactly is from this kid, though. He's not all that up on it himself--if it looks like a cow and talks like a cow (if cows talked) it must be a cow.]

Oi, Bull, she drew you too!
