22 - [accidental voice] Zombie apocalypse?

[forged_anew]

Zuko. You can't go out there! There's a monster that eats people.

[sigh] I know, Sokka. But there are people fighting out there, and I can't sit here and do nothing! The hospital's under attack.

Still! It's dangerous! Let's all stay here where it's safe.
[The sound of something wooden be picked up] You can, Sokka. But I'm going too.

[sternly] No,

... ... Zuko, be careful.

[Minato obviously sounds concerned. For good reason.]

[forged_anew]

[Huff huff]

I'm fine, Minato.

[Slash, crunch, some other fighting noises. Give him a minute, he'll get back to you when he's killed these Redeads]

[foxtamer]

[Minato sounds a bit more worried.]

You'd better be, Zuko.

[forged_anew]

[It takes him a while to answer, the sounds of more fighting in the background, but after a few more minutes, the noises stop. He's a little out of breath, but doing just fine and dandy, thanks.]

Don't worry so much.

I'm heading over to the hospital. Sounds like they need backup.

[foxtamer]

[Minato lets out a bit of a sigh. He sounds relieved.]

I guess I can't help it.

I'm not sure why, but I feel like I'm needed elsewhere. It's a feeling I can't shake....

/laughs at Minato's all-knowing ninja skillz that trump yours~ XD

[forged_anew]

Just do whatever you need to do, Minato. I can handle this.

[His tone isn't exactly stubborn; rather, it's well-founded self-assurance. He knows what he's doing, papa.]

/AND LATER ON IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHY HE DOESN'T GO! XD

[foxtamer]

[Minato chuckles softly into the communicator.]

I know you can, Zuko. It's just my job to worry.

/of course~

[forged_anew]

Your job, huh?

[A barely audible chuckle; he might've been trying to hide it. He knows what you meant. ;D ]
