[It's such a nice day out that Okita has decided to take the House 50 pets for a walk. Around mid-morning after he finishes his training, Okita can be found wandering around the village with the yellow chocobo Tammy in tow. And on her back? A disgruntled Saizou, wishing he could be down from the heathen bird. Tammy doesn't seem to care since ( Read more... )

oh so amused, new feathers, question for you all, tammy, welcome, saizou, time to play, welcome center, home

[You know what? It's EARLY MORNING and Sokka s here for his training session. Only he has something extra for Mr. Souji. Yeah, he's breaking the time constraints of the post. Where did you go wrong, Okita?]

Re: [Action] ahappylie May 18 2011, 11:49:08 UTC

[ORLYNAO. He didn't go wrong. He went right. Because a student who can break the confines of time and space? AWESOME.

Okita is at the barracks early like usual, warming up before Sokka arrives. When he hears someone enter, he lowers the wooden practice sword and smiles.]

Punctual as always.

[Action] markofthewise May 18 2011, 22:28:14 UTC

Well, you know. It's not that hard when... I live just over there. [He says as he glances back at his house. Yup, still in plain sight.]

But I've got something for you.

[Action] ahappylie May 18 2011, 22:30:40 UTC

[He laughs.] I suppose that's true.

...Something for me?

[Action] Let's hope I got Souji's right here. :|a markofthewise May 18 2011, 23:44:36 UTC

Yeah, your sword. The one you ordered, remember?

[He has it over his shoulder, even. He shrugs off the strap and sheath and holds it out. It's definitely one of Sokka's better works. The sheath is similar to to his own, though suited for a katana. The blade is sharp, solid, and all that good stuff. On one side his name is inscribed (索卡) and on the other is Souji's (総司). Just like Sokka said it would.]

... [Oh! Wow, he didn't...think it'd be done this fast.

Reaching out with both hands, he accepts the sword and bows his head.]

Thank you, Sokka-kun. Really. This is the first new sword I've had in quite awhile.

[And so time to check it out. He presses his thumb against the hilt of the blade to release it from the sheath and then slowly draws it out, feeling the weight of it in his hand and examining the blade.]

It's beautiful. [He holds it out at arm's length and looks down the blade edge, smiling.] How long did it take you?

[Action] markofthewise May 19 2011, 16:27:45 UTC

I've been working on it Since you uh, 'ordered' it. [Not consecutively or anything. He had other projects to work on, stuff outside of the smithy, and so on. Either way, he put plenty of time into it. Who knows, it's probably made of more durable stuff than Souji' current sword.]

Anyway, hopefully you find it useful.

[Action] ahappylie May 20 2011, 03:09:08 UTC

You didn't need to hurry so much, but thank you. [He sheathes it again and slides it into the ties of his hakama, smiling. The weight is a bit more than he's used to, but that just means he'll have to practice with it before taking it out on the field.]

I think it will be very useful from here on. It feels a bit sturdier than the swords I've found here.

[Action] markofthewise May 20 2011, 03:37:02 UTC

Well that's because you never had one made by me!

[He brags, yes. But only because it's all true!] If you ever need work on it though, let me know. I'm your go to guy.

[Action] ahappylie May 21 2011, 12:35:03 UTC

[Okita laughs a bit and nods.]

This is true! I'll have to tell my friends about you then. I think they'd be very interested in seeing what you can do.

[Action] markofthewise May 21 2011, 18:11:56 UTC

Repeat business, huh? Well, I won't object to that.

[Action] ahappylie May 22 2011, 05:00:46 UTC

Knowing us, we may keep you very busy, Sokka-kun. I hope you don't object to that, either.

[Action] markofthewise May 22 2011, 16:14:54 UTC

In a place like this? Nothing wrong with being busy. [He can always pass along some of the work to Ed or Hiccup if it gets too bad.]

[Action] ahappylie May 22 2011, 22:11:29 UTC

Good to know. I'll pass the information along to my friends then. [There is maybe a second or two of hesitation as he remembers Yamanami and the fight he overheard. Maybe telling him isn't so wise. But the others...]

Shall we get to our practice then?

[Action] markofthewise May 22 2011, 22:14:56 UTC

Oh, right. Yeah.

[Okay, he's going over to take his usual position.]

So, anything new today?

[Action] ahappylie May 22 2011, 22:43:49 UTC

We'll be working on footwork first, I think. After that, some sparring.

[Okita moves to set the new sword down and picks up the wooden one instead.]

Are you ready?
