Hey Mister. Can we meet up somewhere?

[Action]

[Remember how she was looking for a weapon? Well. She chose a sword to train with, but decided to pick up something on the side. That weapon? A bow and arrow.

Those who wander around a secluded area of the park can find her practicing with her bow and arrow. Using a tree as a hit-marker.

She's not very good so don't make fun of her, plz.]

This is harder than I thought... [Q_Q]

[Grouchily.]

Where and when?

[A pause before he adds in, as an afterthought-]

And why?

[orchidmoon]

Don't be grouchy, old man.

[OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.]

I have a present for you. And I want to give it to you as soon as possible. [Making a face.]

Meet me at the park, okay?

[shirtphobia]

...

I'm not old, I'm thirty-three!

[shirtphobia]

Hmph. I will be there, then.

Video > Action.

[orchidmoon]

[OLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

Okay.

Once the feed cuts off, Ayako leaves that secluded area she was training at to meet him at a nearby bench at the entrance of the park.

He'll probably notice that a large piece of cloth is resting on her lap.]

Action!

[shirtphobia]

[And as usual, he makes an entrance - somersaulting onto the ground before her.]

What is it? And why do you have a blanket?

Action!

[orchidmoon]

Was that really necessary?

[That was quite the entrance, Liquid. Enough of an entrance for others around them to be clapping.]

It's not a blanket. I bought you a coat so you won't get sick. [Standing and shoving the coat against his chest.]

[sawthelight]

[parks and Rapunzel go together like chocolate and peanut butter, so when she happens to come across a girl practicing archery, she stands and watches curiously for a little while, then ventures a bit closer]

That looks like fun!

[orchidmoon]

[Chills ran down her spine when she heard the sudden noise of a human voice near her. She thought she was in a secluded area so forgive her for turning around with a rather strange look.]

This? [Making a face, she bit her lip and forced a smile.

Be friendly, be friendly. This is another chance to make a friend.] I only have one... If you want we can switch back and forth if you want to try.

[sawthelight]

[she can sense the girl's nervousness, and she smiles as warmly as she can - which is pretty warmly, considering]

I'd like that, if you don't mind! But it's yours, so I won't impose too much.

[orchidmoon]

It's okay. Sharing is caring.

[She sure did say that just now. It's something she overheard a citizen saying around the shopping district. So without much hesitation, she withdrew an arrow for Rapunzel and handed the bow + that arrow to her.]

[sawthelight]

[Rapunzel takes it and smiles again] Thanks!

[she's seen illustrations of archers many a time, so her form is perfect as she draws the arrow back, squinting a little... but when she lets it fly, it misses the target entirely, flying right up into the branches of the tree and landing on the other side, point down in the ground. Rapunzel stares at it for a long moment, then giggles and hands the bow back]

Maybe I should practice somewhere safer first. I don't want to accidentally hurt anyone.

[orchidmoon]

[Ayako may or may not have ducked at that. Actually, she did duck, just in case the arrow would somehow reflect and come their way. Luckily, that wasn't the case, and she sighed in relief.]

It's pretty isolated. I don't think you'd hurt anyone.

[caliberill]

Did you just pick it up? [Random stranger from the side, heading at you. He tilts his head at the tree across the way, then turns back to the bow and arrow on hand.]

[orchidmoon]

[Whoa whoa. She thought this area was secluded! At the sound of the voice, she grabbed her arrows and aimed it at him. Only to stop when she saw that the man was wayyyy bigger than her.]

Um... Yeah.

[caliberill]

[askjdl WHOA WHOA WHOA he's throwing his hands up with his brows raise at the action. No harm meant, not at all.]

Take it easy, I was just passing through. [He drops his hands, frowning a little.] Sorry if I startled.

[orchidmoon]

[Making a face, she tried not to display her distaste toward him. Hell, she actually had no reason to have a certain distaste, but she was learning slowly not to hate people after one meeting.]

That's okay. [She dropped her weapon abruptly.] Who are you?

[caliberill]

[He holds out a hand to her at the question.] Nate. Nathan Drake.

[orchidmoon]

[get that hand out of her face.

Only not really.

She stares at it in confusion for a moment, before she realizes that he wanted to shake hands. So shaking hands is what she will do!] Ayako... Nice to meet you, Mr. Drake.

[ action ]

[rocker]

[ Just walking around the park, he's looking for some place to practice as well, really, but.. then he spots her instead, and he raises an eyebrow when he notices her use of the bow and arrow. She got a weapon after all, huh?

(And that arrow is way off target, but that's another issue entirely.) ]

... Are you alright? [ He can't help but approach. ]

[ action ]

[orchidmoon]

[Luckily, since she has run into him before, the familiarity of the voice strikes her before fear does. Stopping in place, and turned her head to be greeted with the person she matched the voice up to.]

Mm hmm. I'm just practicing something on the side.

[ action ]

[rocker]

You should be careful though.

[ The tone isn't really scolding, it's more a little gentle. ]

You could potentially hurt yourself with such a weapon. Or someone else you did not mean to hurt.

[ action ]

[orchidmoon]

I couldn't find anywhere else to practice.

[She was expecting to get scolded at. Though his voice did not seem like he was, so she remained very polite and happy.] I tried to find a place where no one was around.

[ action ]

[rocker]

... It is alright. [ He's not as worried about her hitting other people as much as potentially hurting herself, though.. ]

Do you perhaps need some help with the practice..?

[ action ]

[orchidmoon]

Okay... [If he was sure, then she wouldn't wander on it. Though she beams up at him at the second bit.]

I-If you don't mind!
