Back to bed...
It's been a long morning. Did a lot of staff work with Quatre, which was good--if tiring. I've enjoyed hand-to-hand with Duo, but I've missed my Bo. It was good to have a chance to spar. He's good. I'm impressed. He gave the impression that he was a beginner, but I'm not sure if that was modesty, or a genuine underestimation of his talents, but he's actually pretty good. I mean--I'm better, but it's my primary weapon, and I've been drilling on it and using it since I was thirteen, so--yeah. I'm not exactly a fair yardstick for someone our age. He got a few really good shots in on me though, and they definitely smart. I'll be feeling those when we meet up again tomorrow. Same time, same channel. (Ugh--it's fun sparring when you're sore and stiff, but I didn't get to beg off with Bruce, Dick, or Lady Shiva, and I've felt a lot worse than I'm going to feel in the morning, so I'll be fine. Plus--It was fun.)
He asked about the Titans, which... yeah. I told him about the current members. He was curious about personalities, abilities... I focused more on abilities, because he seemed interested. It was weird describing the Titans without Bart and Kon. Even after more than a year without them. It's weird having Bart here, too. I feel like I should spend more time with him, but I'm almost afraid to. I don't want to get used to having him around again, only to lose him when we leave here. And now I'm brooding again. Bruce would be proud. Dick would probably tackle me to the ground and wrestle me until I cheered up. Miss them.
Gah--Quatre and I talked a lot while sparring. It's made me thoughtful. I should just grab that shower I've been promising myself and head to bed for a few hours.
In other news--still managing to avoid the mistletoe, thanks to some truly remarkable acrobatics on my part (thank you, Dick--and you'd think this was funny if you were here, wouldn't you, you great idiot.)
