Sierra-san & Tora-chan

Sierra has a friend who's also fourteen, interested in manga and Gaia and rp'ing and stuff. They hang out here or at her house or at a bookstore where they drink hot cocoa or fruit slushies and surf the net on Sierra's laptop. Sierra and her friend even kind of look alike, though Sierra's all Italian-esque and her friend in Native American. Her friend, let's call her Tora, is very artistic and likes to draw, especially manga. She bought a big, plastic-covered book at the bookstore because it seemed to be about drawing manga. I'm listening to her and Sierra talk...

Tora: I don't know why the guy at the store looked at me so weird when I bought the book!
Sierra: Maybe he's just a freak.
Tora: Yeah. I hope this book'll help me draw manga better... I never heard of the genre... It's not shonen manga or seinen manga... It's something called... air-o-tic... I never heard of it.
Sierra: Tora...
Tora: Yeah, it's really weird. It's a good book and all... There just seems to be a lot of naked pictures in it...
Sierra: Tora-chan...
Tora: All kinds of really NAKED manga...
Sierra: Tora!
Tora: What???
Sierra: Look at the cover. Erotic Manga: Draw Like the Experts. Don't you know what "erotic" means?
Tora: Ummmm... Does it mean naked?
Sierra:You're a moron.
