How much of a flame are we talking?

Still capable of burning something if it gets close enough. Sounds like you'd better be careful.

What have you tried so far? I'm still working on my own controlling methods.

Ah, I'll say! Keeping calm in the face of anger and keeping calm in the face of embarrassment are two very different things. I guess you can try thinking of something else to distract yourself.

[ When Rin gets embarrassed, he tends to think about smacking the person, but that probably doesn't work for everyone. ]

What about changing the subject when that happens?

[ Rin makes a scoffing sound. ]

You're not supposed to admit that so easily. That's just asking for it.

[ Rin pulls a face. ]

Might help if you stop using phrases like "scent of a housewife."

[ Seriously, who even does that? ]

You've got to man up. Make it a challenge for them at least.

[ He gives Atsushi a hearty slap on the back. ]

[ Rin catches him by the crook of his arm. ]

Aw come on, I didn't even hit you that hard. You need to build up some serious muscle, buddy. How often do you usually exercise?

Oh, we can fix that real quick. How do you feel about jogging?

[ You should probably run now, while you still have the chance. ]

Awesome! You can join me in the mornings. I usually run for about an hour. It's a great way to start the day.

[ Another hearty back slap. ]

Great! Meet me in the park around 5 a.m. tomorrow.

Yeah, the best times for running are in the early morning and the early evening before it gets too hot or too cold.

What sort of question is that? Of course I can. I've been doing it since I was a kid.

[ Running to and from school everyday instead of biking like the saner children. ]
