[He just sort of laughs, but it's not entirely amused.]
You've never been inside a high school locker room, have you? [Yes, rhetorical question.] According to a lot of people, there's a lot wrong with guys wearing a lot of pink.
Yup! [The shrug's, again, audible.] Not all people...some people are really cool about it but for the most part? There's a reason I really, really wanted to move to New York and get out of New Mexico.
Basically people function under the idea that if a guy wears a lot of pink, it makes them less "masculine" or something. Queer. Whatever word you want to use. And I guess that just scares them. Or something.
Well sorry, I don't usually go around announcing it. [If only because the Wildcats seemed to have either figured it out or not cared either way.] You're literally the second person here that knows.
[A sigh.] Never mind, the point of that whole thing is that I get it. I get what you're trying to say and I get why you shut me down out in the woods. I got it.

Well, I don't get what's wrong with wearing a lot of pink - but, sure. If you wanna put it like that.

[Is this locker room thing supposed to be some kind of cult? Should he be concerned?]

Well, I'm more into women so...probably nothing?
audio;
There are a lot of people who aren't okay with it, basically. Including a lot of guys in locker rooms.
audio;
You mean...people in your world discriminate against guys who are into guys- and somehow that has to do with the color pink?

[He just gives a little sigh; because seriously humanity way to find another nonsensical way to discriminate against people] Lovely.

audio;
But...alright. Nice to hear you got it. [Better late than never he guesses]
audio;
But yeah. I apologized to Kelsi, figured you were next. Anything else you feel like embedding into my brain while I'm listening?
audio;
[But oh right, anything else? There's a pause before he speaks]
Well, I guess I could impart some...Chosen wisdom before you go.
audio;
Chosen wisdom, huh? Okay, sure. Go for it.
audio;
There's nothing wrong with who you are.
