w3, friday

[ashenvaliant]

[ sometimes you're

annoyed after finding out you really, truly have the bathroom to yourself now, and you feel like taking it out on targets. so, dojo it is. ]

Ah.

[ hello depressed man. ]

[shaft]

[ He is visibly annoyed, though he schools his expression upon seeing Yuri, lowering his bow. ]

Yuri.

[ashenvaliant]

Claude.

[ ... ]

Some of them were from the school, weren't they?

[shaft]

Aikawa and Hope.

I can't believe Zuko was targeted but... I suppose there isn't much choice to targets.

[ashenvaliant]

…. We don’t even understand the logic behind how people are possessed, why people’s things are stolen, why people are randomly awake to be killed on Thursday nights— any of it.

Whatever the logic behind killing someone like Zuko was, it’s beyond me and I’m tired of it.

[ he picks up one of the training swords with a frown, and takes a practice swing with it. there’s a tightness and anger to his shoulders but no where near the level of anger claude probably has. ]

[shaft]

[ he puts down the bow, and picks up a sword instead ]

Want to spar?

[ashenvaliant]

[ the response is immediate. ]

Yes.

[shaft]

[ he grins, raising his sword ]

Come then.

[ handwaves... ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ imagine if i was like no we’re doing a full fight scene.

anyway, they fight it out like idiots. ]

Take the edge off a bit?

[shaft]

[ regret 2 inform you claude is definitely bleeding through his bandages

he takes a deep breath and leans back to stretch out his chest ]

I hate to admit that Dimitri is right, but training does have a calming effect on the mind.

[ashenvaliant]

[ yuri hopes he bleeds out it’s what he deserves. ]

It’s a focus thing. I think. Helps you calm down and focus on thing that aren’t you bleeding through your dressings again.

[ you bitch!!! ]

[shaft]

[ me too wanna die ]

There is a fine line between distraction and denial, I guess.

[ashenvaliant]

[ you died last game suck it up ]

Says the bleeding man.

[shaft]

I'll fix it up. I wouldn't want you to lose sleep over me.

[ashenvaliant]

Yes, I'd be terribly distraught. And then I'd have bags under my eyes. You wouldn't be that cruel to little old me, hm?

[shaft]

And then all your adoring fans would come after me... Terrible.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he snorts. ]

Absolutely. All two of them.

[ he pats his shoulder. ] I hope it helped, even if you're an idiot for straining yourself like that when injured.

[shaft]

We all make bad decisions every now and then.

I'll be alright.

[ashenvaliant]

[ a flat look ]

Tell me that after you’ve got yourself restitched.

[shaft]

Your concern is touching.

[ashenvaliant]

Unfortunately I think any attempts to play nursemaid to you would fall flat, so you're on your own.
