I learned a long time ago that looks can be plenty deceiving.

[ Meeting a guy who was your size and height but could bend prison bars kind of did that to a guy he thinks. But then again maybe Heero wasn't the best example of someone to base that on, considering he wasn't really sure if the other man was actually a normal teen or not.

.. Granted, was Duo a normal teen?

Questions for later when he wasn't actually blazed. ]

People pretend they're better than they are every day.. why should it be different after having some of that? [ Duo laughs despite how philosophical that question may be, shrugging black clad shoulders. ] Plus some people just don't like to admit they're out of control, y'know?

Though we're all kinda in a weird place right now if you wanna be fair.
