"You've reached Tech. Currently I'm unable to respond, but if you leave a message, I shall get back to you as soon as I am able to, barring any unforeseeable circumstances, of course."
"Hm," Tech considered, sounding very serious about it. "Wouldn't 'pretending' be opposite of what you'd expect from fighting? Or is your wrestling very different from what I've thought it to be about? Although I must say, a backflip headlock sounds a bit... impractical."
He fingered the bottom of his beak in thought. "Watching stories... such as watching holovids? To some extent. I do prefer research. I'm not quite sure what might classify as 'fun'. Hunter calls my recording sounds a hobby, so perhaps that might qualify. Admittedly I have not done so lately, but the sounds aboard a starship aren't as interesting as calls of wildlife."
Mo shook her head fast enough that her curls went swoosh. "You're thinking of stuff like boxing or um, wrestling clubs in school? It is a thing! With competitions! But pro wrestling is more like a play or a tv show? It's scripted, the fights are just how the stories are acted out, along with dramatic monologues about GETTING REVENGE FOR BETRAYING MY BEST FRIEND, THIS SUNDAY AT THE CIVIC CENTER!"
She then grinned up at him and giggled, bringing her hands up near her face as her cybersleeve lit up. "Probably! A lot of it wouldn't work in real life fights, it's just to look cool. But the actual wrestlers are real athletic, they really can do the backflips and stuff they do. And it looks so cool, Tech!"
Her grin then shifted to a delighted smile. "Oh, you like stuff like my mom does? She's a park ranger, she liked recording nature stuff, too. Though my dad is a college professor, he does research all the time and gets super into it and excited about it, just like that! I bet both of them would really like you," she said with a fervent nod. "And that means I really like you, too. If mom and dad would think you're the coolest, then you are!"
"Actual fights can be plenty dramatic without a script. But I think my brother Wrecker might enjoy something of what your wrestling is about. I'd say he's the most likely of my squad who would attempt it. He fought an adolescent rancor once, although I can't say it was very dramatic. They both tired each other out."
Tech tilted his head at the girl. She was quite energetic. He wasn't quite used to that. Omega had a different sort of energy, eager but cautious, but then she'd never been away from Kamino so she was still very much looking to her older brothers for guidance.
"Is that so? Well, you must think highly of your parents to base your opinion completely on what you know they'd approve of." He sounded amused. "But I hope to prove your judgment adequate."
