Waking the Dead 2.0 || May 19, 2063 (Saturday) || Friendship in the cups.

[kawaakari]

[It's a little after lunch with the Shinta Clan that Kasumi Aoi makes an interesting suggestion: that the War Hounds wile the afternoon hours away in good company with their mentors, former or otherwise, that can make it. Invitations are easy; she can handle them.

So, there you have it: doing things the Japanese way, talking over sake, nibbling idly on onigiri and whatever else. The rest of the household has left you alone. This is quality time with the people who have watched your back, and taught you whatever they could.]



OOC Notes
+ Each thread here is for one-on-one conversations between players and their respective mentors. Group shenanigans can be played out on the table, if you guys like.
+ Noey and I are going to bring his conversation with Malia on the table!

[ Nodding at that; smiling back. ]

That's a good look on you. The smile.

[ Admittedly he doesn't know if there's anything appropriate to say. Malia doesn't go into detail, but Josh isn't slow on the uptake. A culture where choice was out of your hands? Where defiance in any way led to punishment?

A soft, coughed laugh escapes him. ] This is going to make me sound either really arrogant or incredibly naive but -- nothing about what happened to either of you was fair.

I'm big on choice, [ he confesses. ] Though I guess that's because I had to learn to make relatively... hard ones, growing up.

[the_abandoned]

You and I both.

[Lifting her sake cup in your direction now.]

It is good, then, that I learned to see past my anger and see you as a person, Joshua LaRue.

[She does have difficulty with that sometimes.

Okay, fine.

Most of the time.]

[ Smiling and lifting his cup in salute. ]

I'm glad you have, too.
