[How about intercepting you on the way to the center?]

Yuan!

[Action] fortunefail March 22 2010, 21:56:40 UTC

[Oh hey, it's that Jay kid. They've spoken plenty of times over the journals, but this is the first time Yuan's actually meeting him in person. Jay's a little shorter than he expected, but considering the boy's claiming to be an information gatherer, that may be for the best. Yuan pauses in his tracks, crossing his arms over his chest. Was that a subtle move to hide his aching shoulder? Possibly.]

Jay.

[Action] unseenspy March 22 2010, 21:59:50 UTC

[Jay approaches, looking devious and innocent like always.]

So? How did it go?

[Action] fortunefail March 22 2010, 22:03:01 UTC

[Yuan's not liking that devious look too much. If Jay's needling for information, he won't make this easy.]

It could've been worse.

[Action] unseenspy March 22 2010, 22:05:38 UTC

I see. It must have been difficult, I'm certain. But it's good to know you held your own out there.

[Action] fortunefail March 22 2010, 22:11:21 UTC

If I wasn't confident in my skills, I wouldn't have volunteered in the first place.

[Action] unseenspy March 22 2010, 22:14:40 UTC

Indeed, confidence is one of the most important things. The desire to win is what keeps us going, even with the odds stacked against us.

[Action] fortunefail March 22 2010, 22:21:31 UTC

That said, are you considering offering yourself up as a volunteer if the Malnosso decide to send some of us out there again?

[Action] unseenspy March 22 2010, 22:25:03 UTC

I've already volunteered.

[He loves to surprise people, knowing how skilled he is in battle despite his short and scrawny appearance.]

[Action] fortunefail March 23 2010, 16:52:00 UTC

[Oh, Yuan definitely won't underestimate short, scrawny people. Especially not after he got his ass kicked by Mithos.]

Is that so? Just remember that there's a difference between confidence and overconfidence.

[Action] unseenspy March 23 2010, 16:54:39 UTC

I am well aware of that.

[After all, Jay always backs up his confidence. He's not one to rush blindly into battle. He applies his skills as a strategist both on and off the battlefield.]

[Action] fortunefail March 23 2010, 18:10:30 UTC

[No need to be so touchy about it, Jay. Yuan's just making sure you don't run off and get yourself killed. The response causes him to give Jay somewhat of a wry smirk.]

Very well, then. I'll wish you luck.

[Action] unseenspy March 23 2010, 19:00:32 UTC

[Hey, telling him things he already knows is like an insult to his intelligence, and he doesn't like that. But moving on...]

Thank you. We should definitely go over the details of the battle later, if you don't mind.

[Action] fortunefail March 23 2010, 19:05:59 UTC

[Not a quitter, eh Jay? Yuan expected no less.]

What sort of details are you looking for?

[Action] unseenspy March 23 2010, 19:08:47 UTC

The battle tactics of the enemy, their powers and weaknesses, any other relevant information you may have learned out there. The more, the better.

[action] fortunefail March 23 2010, 19:20:07 UTC

Fine, but it won't be this week. If all goes well, I'll be leaving the village for a short while.
