I hadn't been planning to have Genkai touch on the issue of romance mixing with training (her and Toguro didn't work out). But I could comment it. And nah, I'd say Yusuke is dense as opposed to dumb. He's a little slow on certain things but I think if he focuses and makes an effort, he can be pretty clever when he wants to be. Which probably isn't often but he is a kid, as hard as that is to remember given the anime's plots and subject matter.

XD Vulcan do feel but repress them...so I could probably make some good posts as part-Vulcan but...it wouldn't be very easy. God, I almost wanna see Vulcan poetry now. *cringe*
