[Written]

Since yesterday was Mother's Day, I've been wondering how many of you are mothers? All family is important. At least, I think so. But mothers...

[Considering she has lost her mother, Haruhi feels a lot of things about the day.]

It's special, isn't it? Not that being a father is easy. [She knows that from watching her Dad struggle all of these years.] But it's not Father's Day.

So...

Tell me about your mothers. And if you are a mother, I hope you're close to your children. Nothing can replace that bond.

[Uh oh, getting too serious again.]

Anyway, I know it's a little late, but let's celebrate.

[It doesn't always look sloppy. Sometimes it's very neat. When he's slow and careful!]

I don't know what happened to my mother. I wonder what mother bears say to their babies.

You want kids then? [Haruhi, so cute ~~for a human~~]

[He's the most talented bear she knows, okay. She's proud of him ~~in a strangely familial way~~.]

She must have done a good job. [Because he's pretty amazing.] I do. I want a career first, but then...

Yeah, kids would be nice.

[Oh don't tell him that. He'd blush right through his white fur!]

You think so? I wonder what she was like.

What kind of career do you want?

Wouldn't it be funny if she turned up here? [She'd like to meet her! Two talking bears ftw.] I'd like to be a lawyer.

My mother was one.

I don't know. What if she didn't know me? Or if I didn't know her? I'm not sure I'd like that...

A lawyer? Like... keeping laws?

Then you could work on getting to know each other. I'm sure you would notice similarities between you and her.

[He deserves to have a family.]

Lawyers are people who are qualified to represent others in court. By representing, you can protect them and ensure their story is told. My Mom...

She only represented people she believed in. I would do the same.

[He has a family. Law is his family. But he's not here right now... ;.;]

Maybe. I don't know if she'd be like me though. What if she's a common bear like all the other ones? [why is he even writing this...]

Even if they were a pirate?

[Poor Bepo. :( She'll share her Host Club family.]

You could take care of her? At least make sure she's happy.

[Even a common mother bear can have a happy Mother's Day.]

If I knew they were innocent of the crime, I would happily represent them. I don't care what they look like or if their past is less than perfect: everyone deserves protection when they're innocent.

Yeah... [the print on that one word was very clean and carefully written, like he took his time to even write that. Baw]

Stealing is a crime, so if someone was caught and put up for execution because the exist, and you knew they stole things in the past, like important things to people, ~~like hearts~~, but he'd keep the stolen things safe, would that count against them?

[Haruhi smiles sadly at the difference.]

I would support you all I could.

[He poses a good question and she thinks about it before answering.]

It would depend on his reasoning. I agree that theft is a crime, but sometimes the punishments for it are too harsh. If he thought he was helping - or protecting - someone or something then he should be shown leniency.

Haruhi is very kind. Thank you.

[He's pretty sure she wouldn't want to represent Captain Law... but she wont name him here. He'd never get caught anyhow. He was too good for that!]

It sounds like you'd have to take a lot of time into deciding on the person or not. Like judging them to see if they were honest or worthy? If you believe in them then, you'd represent them?

You were kind to me. [The writing is a little less neat - not that Haruhi's handwriting is flawless to begin with. It's almost like she's embarrassed.]

Talking to the person and getting to know them is all that it takes. I'd talk to their friends and family too. But yes, if I believed in them, I would represent them.

[Awww, he noticed the change. He's writing more careful himself. Taking his time.] Everyone should be kind to you. If they are not, you point them to me.

You'll make a good lawyer then. Where I'm from Lawyers aren't that good or thoughtful. judging tends to be done by the Marines anyhow. Nothing is fair. I think you'd be fair.

[Oh lord, this is even shakier.] Thank you. [She recoups and writes with more ease.] Do you know Martial Arts?

To be fair is what every lawyer should strive for. Those that don't, well, they might be rich, but does money really make up for lying?

I don't think it does.

You are welcome. [And then very fastly written, because he very much likes that topic!] Yes! I do! I've learned a few styles! Do you know martial Arts too?

Money makes things easier, but harder too, if you're not honest. Honesty can be hard to find on the seas sometimes.

I...would really like to learn. I should be able to protect myself. [She has been avoiding it because she knows she isn't particularly athletic.]

Dad said I was honest even as a child. I don't think I would be a good liar.

I could teach you! [That was written so very fast!]

[Oh, and then another entry to follow, more calmly]

It's good to be able to lie sometimes. It can save your life, but honest people are the best.

Really? [Ah ah ah exciting!] I'll try to be a good student.

[She's an excellent student when it comes to academics, at least.]

That's true, but I wouldn't want to put myself in a position like that.

I'm sure you'll be a great student. Just let me know when you want to start. I can start easy! Things you can practice while we're not in the same place. And I can nav over from time to time.

[he liked your crew too, so he wouldn't mind, though he wonders if they would...]

Hopefully you wont ever have to.

Is right now too soon? [She's ready! She can at least do some exercises, right?] I hope you don't have to either.

Not at all too soon! I think I can get a nav port over to your crew, if you like. I think you guys are a bit more mellow then my crew. Will they mind if I spend their weeks port to return later though?
