Forty-third and final Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

[The writing is much slower than normal. He's taking his time.]I do not know that there is anything more to say on the topic of me. I am Maito Gai, the Green Beast of Konoha, teacher of Lee, Neji, and Tenten, Eternal Rival to Kakashi, summoner of Ninkame, shinobi of Konohagakure. What you have seen and met is me. I teach and I train and I fight.

I'll always be glad to see you again, Gai!

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, E [There's a short pause.] Did you remember your name, by any chance?

[desertshadows]

Yeah. I haven't decided what to do yet, but… my name, the one I had first, it's Hawk.

[spandexisyouth]

It is not always easy, knowing what you are going to do, but I am glad to know your name, Hawk. ...I think that I see why you chose Eagle!

[getsome_sleep]

Be well, o Green Beast. I shall certainly have to come; I have much training left to do.

[spandexisyouth]

I shall be well. I have much to do! I am three years behind my student and my Rival! And I will welcome your visit!

[getsome_sleep]

What are three years, to one who can do five hundred push-ups at his whim?

[One last teasefest here we go...]

[spandexisyouth]

Three years are nothing to that, and I will overcome all of the challenges involved!

And come and help you to train!
