Thirteenth Night - Simple Days

[strawberrypunch]

[Action]

[Tatsuma's doing his usual practice in the park today! Because he has totally been doing this pretty much the entire time he's been in the town. Really.

So, should your character be around the park during the day, they might spot a certain high school student practicing martial arts! Sometimes, the movements will be slow as he calmly goes through the different stances. Other times will be faster, as though he is fending off an invisible opponent.

Clearly, this would be a great time to either pester him or even just stare.]

[unknownrival]

You're good at this.

[Bother bother.]

[strawberrypunch]

[He pauses, dropping the stance.]

Thank you.

[unknownrival]

I'm only saying obvious things.

[strawberrypunch]

It's still appreciated.

[unknownrival]

Do you mind if I watch more?

[strawberrypunch]

That's fine.

[unknownrival]

[He'll settle himself right in for an extended viewing, then.]

[Action]

[emptysword]

[Huh. Now that's something he doesn't see everyday.

Don't mind him just lookong at you.]

[Action]

[strawberrypunch]

[He's used to people watching, so he'll just go ahead and finish up going through the movements before he pauses for a break.]

[emptysword]

[Looks like the other male's training is done, so he's going to approach.]

Hey.

[Action]

[strawberrypunch]

Hello.

[Action]

[emptysword]

That was some pretty interesting moves you got there.

[Action]

[strawberrypunch]

Mm. It was taught to me by my master.

[yukihira]

[Wow, that martial artist is so cool.

BRB staring.]

[strawberrypunch]

[He continues on undeterred, ending with a fast kick before dropping the stance entirely.

Have a friendly wave, stranger!]

[yukihira]

[Guess it's okay for him to approach? With a smile, of course.]

That was amazing.

[strawberrypunch]

Thank you.

[At the very least, he doesn't seem to mind at all!]

[yukihira]

You've been practicing martial arts long?

[He can't help but assumes so.]

[strawberrypunch]

Yes, I have.

[athngabla]

[Just because one's discipline is completely different from another's doesn't mean that they can't appreciate it.

Case in point, the blue-haired spearman pausing in his wanderings to watch the martial artist. He claps his hands in light applause when Tatsuma seems to slow down somewhat.]

Not bad, kid.

[strawberrypunch]

[He pauses, breaking his stance to face the other.]

Thank you.

[athngabla]

[If he's surprised at the (apparent) level of skill, he's not showing it. Instead, he just seems impressed.]

Not that I'm familiar with the forms, but you looked like you've got a damn good idea what you're doing. Been practicing long?

[strawberrypunch]

Yes. I received training on it for a long time.

[athngabla]

Heh, it shows.

[A pause, and he grins.]

Feel like fighting the air s'more, or would you rather have a solid target that moves?

[strawberrypunch]

I don't mind sparring.
