[He grins at the screen, smile wide and fist curled into a ball at his side.]

Oi, you wanna go again?

[Clearly, this was meant to be for Zuko, but it's there for the entire network to see, and interpret as they will.]

[Raven facepalms before turning back to the screen.]

Naruto... If you don't deem necessary to use filters, at least you can mention the name of the person you're talking to.

Otherwise such message is likely to create... confusion.

[thelonegenin]

[What's that look for... oh.]

... I guess I could have done.

Hey! We could spar too!?

[feel_nevermore]

Well I already said that we could spar again now, didn't I?

But just out of curiosity, who's the one you originally intended to propose that to?

[thelonegenin]

ALRIGHT! Let's go!

Uh. Just Zuko.

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven quirks an eyebrow worried that enthusiasm at that rate might be catching.] Okay. Where shall we meet then? Same place as last time?

You know Zuko? Is he a good sparring partner? I've been meaning to ask him myself but he's quite the elusive type. [Look who's talking...XP]

[thelonegenin]

[... Careful, Raven! It often is!]

Ah! Yeah! That's a good place.

Zuko? Uh... he's alright.

You gonna be there soon?

[feel_nevermore]

Just "alright", really? What kind of techniques does he use then?

I can be there in half an hour if you want. I need to meditate a bit first.

[thelonegenin]

Yeah, Yeah. He uses fire an' stuff.

Half an ho-- you wanna what?

[feel_nevermore]

Interesting.

[She blinks at his question.] ...meditate? That's like some sort of preparation before a fight. It helps me to better use my powers.

[thelonegenin]

Eh.

[Still pouting at you, WTF RAVEN?]

Don't you just wanna go for it!?

[feel_nevermore]

...

[He doesn't get it... Of course, he doesn't. Raven already assessed he was like BeastBoy. And he never understood her need for meditation either.]

Fine. [Her voice is a bit dry. It shows that she's agreeing to this only to humour you, Naruto.] Let's go for it right now then. Just get going!

[Anyway she kinda noticed Naruto's difficulties to follow coordinates on a PCD. So it's likely she'll still have time to meditate while waiting for him to arrive.]

[thelonegenin]

[Her resignation to his request makes him grin, and his eyes light up, fist balling at his side.]

ALRIGHT!

Where are we gonna go, the same place as before?

[He's already running grab his jacket, struggling to put it on whilst holding the PCD.]

[She's already flying to their previous sparring ground. She quirks an eyebrow at his question.]

Well yes... I believe we just said that.

[Attention spam of a goldfish, Naruto hum?]

[Offine]

[When Naruto arrives, Raven is alighted on a tree branch, meditating.]

[thelonegenin]

The moment she clarified where they would be going, he switched off the PCD. He didn't really catch the intentional quip about just talking about where they would meet. Instead he's on his way.

It doesn't take him as long as before. He's used the same place a couple of times now. In fact, he's so quick that by the time he gets there he's convinced she's late. Arms folded behind his head he grins as he walks around the area.

At least this proves he cannot sense her presence, even within such a short range. Still sitted on her branch, she asks playfully:

"Are we waiting for someone else?"

[thelonegenin]

The moment he heard her voice, his gaze shot up to it's source, and his shocked expression flickered quickly into a grin, fist balling at his side.

"I could take on two people at once!"
