[The first thing you see is the sky, darkening and hazy with mist. There are fireflies, too, circling above the camera. And, just on the edge of the lens, blurred due to its proximity, is a lock of silver-blond hair. She's lying beside the Forge, it seems, staring up at the sky.]It's funny, but all day I've felt... different. A little better ( Read more... )

Well, I did say goodbye, Priscilla.

Well. It was still... rude.

Which part of it was rude?

The part where I explained myself? Or the part where I said I hoped to talk to you again?

I...

[Wait, now she can't figure out what it was. Dammit.]

Mrmph. Nevermind.

But I didn't forget anything you said.

Just so you know.

I'm glad to hear that you've been thinking about me as much as I have been thinking of you.

[...several blinks. She glances away from the camera.]

Well! It's hard not to with your yoki all over the place.

[Which is an excellent subject segue. She bites her bottom lip.]

...and in the city, too. I hope you're wearing an actual outfit by now.

[ The Forge shifts ever so slightly as Isley sets the device down across from where he is sitting, on what is likely a tabletop. When he takes his seat again he is in view from the waist and up... donning a loose white shirt which is only buttoned up partway. ]

Is this more to your liking, Priscilla?

The only thing I am lacking is a pair of sturdy boots, it seems. And a reliable sword.

[She... averts her eyes a little, and chews on the knuckle of her bent thumb. Instinct.]

I was thinking of the comfort of the citizenry. It's normally considered odd to walk around in a state of undress. ...not that I've ever tried it. But I haven't seen many people try it, so the point stands.

[Not that it doesn't make her uncomfortable. In fact, the very thought of him living around all these humans is inherently disquieting. She frowns and glances downward, biting her thumb again. Given the distraction, it takes a second for that last bit to settle, but once it does she jerks her head up and ... blinks.]

I didn't think you'd still need a sword.

[Well, Riful didn't seem to have one.]

[ He smiles in such a pristine manner. ]

How can I teach others to wield a sword if I don't have one of my own?

[What?]

[...in fact.]

What?

Well... no, but is that really... and I didn't know you were still... I mean, I'm just a little...

[WAIT. SLOW DOWN.]

I didn't know you still practiced.

And I'm a little... worried about your students.

[...]

And everyone else in the city.

You're welcome to supervise, if it troubles you so much.

That is, providing I can find a place suitable for teaching.

[ There is the Dojo, but he has less control of others in an establishment he doesn't own.

...And Isley so likes having control. ]

I don't think anyone would really approve of my spending that much time around you.

[And with good reason. She shifts a little, and lets a firefly land on her fingertip.]

...It's rather sad.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:00:20 UTC
It's...

[Sad doesn't quite seem right. Rational, maybe. And yet a little frustrating? But also... well. intelligent. She frowns.]

Well. I do understand their point.
