((so Heiji and Hakuba had a haiku battle))
\nsetting: a balcony at night, drinking sake while doing a moon-viewing. traditionally, one is supposed to recite poetry during this.
\nHeiji: Isn’t th’ moonlight
\nrather beautiful tonight?
\nNaa, Hakuba.
\nHakuba: Yes, it is rather beautiful.
\nHeiji: Ya fail utterly.
\nNot even realizin’…
\nYer rather hopeless~
\nHeiji: Drawin’ a blank, huh?
\nI don’t blame ya, Hakuba.
\nIt ain’t that easy.
\nHakuba: It is not as though …
\nI’ve a terrible accent..
\nto bend the rules with?
\nHeiji: Ya’ve figgered it out.
\nI speak Japanese just fine.
\nDon’t insult me, prat.
\nHakuba: You cannot blame me,
\na half-blooded foreigner,
\nfor finding it hard.
\nHeiji: Half-blooded’r not,
\npoetry’s fer th’ cultured.
\nSome just can’t do it~
\nHakuba: Ah, actually,
\nI meant understanding \/you\/;
\nthe poetry’s fine.
\nHeiji: Ya’ve got a point there.
\nA foreigner like ya can’t
\nfollow proper speech.
\nHakuba: You speak too quickly!
\nIt’s difficult to keep up,
\nmuch less understand.
\nHeiji: Tokyo-ben’s too slow.
\nAin’t my fault ya can’t keep up.
\nYa should really learn.
\nHakuba: Oh please, Hattori;
\nI’ve learned \/proper\/ Japanese,
\nnot your Kansai-ben.
\nHeiji: Kansai-ben’s proper!
\nStop insultin’ me, will ya?
\nWe’re wastin’ moonlight.
\nHakuba: My apologies;
\nyou are just so fun to tease!
\nPass the sake, please~
\nHeiji: Here’s yer blasted drink.
\nGood rice, good year, good sake.
\nHope ya choke on it.
\nHakuba: And here I had thought,
\nas foolish as it may be,
\nthat we’d become friends!
\nHeiji: Ya mean we ain’t friends?
\nAn’ here I thought we might’ve
\nhad somethin’. Ah well.
\nHakuba: …You did just tell me,
\nif I am not mistaken,
\nto choke on sake.
\nHeiji: Ya mean ya wouldn’t
\nenjoy CPR from me?
\nYa’d be missin’ out.
