There would be a witty, Firebender haiku here as the mun's been itchy to write one. But she couldn't think of one at work. Instead, you have a Firebender looking a little less peaky, sittnig on his couch, with the black and white malamute at his feet. She is alert, and for a change, so is he, though he is occupied with several historybooks borrowed

Comments

Knox notices the dog first, thus once again not leaving the Bar. Work will wait, though.

"Nice dog."

[princeinexile]

"Thanks," the boy replied, not looking up at first. But then he lifted his head. This was someone new. "She's a guard dog, so you might not want to try and pet her."

[gotham_knocking]

"Thanks for the warning." Which gets Knox to back up a bit.

"What's she guarding?"

[princeinexile]

The dog looks at Knox, inquisitive. But she doesn't rise.

"Me," the boy says. "It's-- a long story. She was security for us when we were in Sergeant Wells' world."

There is a Japanese teen lounging in a nearby booth, and while he may not look like modern Earth material, he is. His rather large sword, currently wrapped in a fine white cloth, is resting easily against his chest. He's watching Zuko, mainly because it's something to take his mind off waging war on heaven with five teenagers and a cat.

He eyes the dog for a moment, as if wondering if it will bite, and then speaks. "Hey, you one of those...whad'ya call 'em...Firebend...guys?"

Elegant, Ichigo, elegant indeed.

[princeinexile]

Glancing up from his books, Zuko looks over at the boy. Red hair. REALLY RED HAIR.

That's kinda new.

"I'm a Firebender, yes," he says. "I didn't know there was more then two of us in the bar to be ... so reknowned." He smirks a little. He's getting a reputation, somehow.

[kurosakiboy]

"You ain't renowned." Ichigo likes squishing dreams. And hopes. But that's another story. "You've just got a funny reiatsu, kinda like that water bending girl." After a moment of pause, Ichigo remembers that not many around these parts would know what the hell reiatsu means. "I mean, like, your spirit energy, your aura. I'm not really good at picking them out, but with really weird ones like yours, it's easy."

He really wants to ask what the HELL is wrong with his eye.

[princeinexile]

Zuko is hardly crushed by Ichigo's response. He just drops his eyse back to his book and shrugged. No big deal. Whatever.

"I don't know what a reiatsu is," he says, even befoer he has it explained. But-- ah, yes, that. "Great. Weird. Well, I'm glad I'm noticable."

Like he cares.

"All Benders have a stronger breath then the common man. I'm hardly special in that regard. It's probably all you're seeing. Katara explained what bending was, right?" She's the only waterbender in the bar, after all.

Aang dosen't count.

"What are you reading?" Iroh asked from behind the couch, after coming down the stairs.

How did he get there without Zuko noticing?

MAD NINJA UNCLE SKILLS

[princeinexile]

STEALTH UNCLE.

Zuko blinks and looks up at Iroh a moment, staring at him--before he says, "History. Of Wells' world."

Because he was serious about going and staying there and telling his own world to go fuck itself right in the ear.

[ginsengdragon]

"Hmm," he said noncommittally.

Iroh took a seat.

"Their writing is so unrefined," he remarked, opening a book and looking at the English.

[princeinexile]

"It's very ...dryly written in some places. Factual. No calligraphy, no poetry." He likes it just fine. Iroh will hate it.

"Are you still going to come visit with me?" In that other world?t

[princeinexile]

It must be really weird, when he asks the wait rat who sent it, and then shrugged, and Zuko glanced about, and then went about eating it.

And then he went back to his reading.

Just like that.

[princeinexile]

"That wasn't charity, that was either someone hitting on me subtly or someone repaying a debt. Which was it?" Zuko asks, as he sits back in his seat.

At least now he doesn't look so... bleh.

[slayer_fray]

Mel has hot chocolate, wet hair, and a smirk as she curls up on the other couch.

Go on, ask her why she's smirking. You won't like it.

[princeinexile]

Zuko looks up from his books.

A heartbeat goes by.

"What?"

[slayer_fray]

"Just so you know," Mel says as an opener, "I do have a third sister, but she's way out of your league."

[princeinexile]

Brows ARCH. Well, the one he still has does, anyway.

"Excuse me?"
