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!

[Smiling at that, and patting your hand.]

You're still new to this, Bri. Courts only take notably strong Changeling, and they also look for specific skill sets. You're getting there, and I'll make sure that you get there in record time, but for now? Best if you figure out which Court you'll like to be a part of.

[therealbrianna]

[ She's smiling now. ]

I trust you will. God, I swear I'd be so lost without you. I've talked to Lia about it just yesterday, asked for her take on it. Cause yknow, I just want to be sure and all. This isn't something I want to do half-assed.

[ Ooc: lol sakto, first she asks Hikaru a general question, then narrows down kay Lia, then final "consultation" with Tala! :3 ]

[thetalavega]

It really shouldn't be, but a lot of people go into it half-cocked anyway.

['Half-cocked'. Talk about a Mordechai moment. OH WELL, HE'S DADDYSTAIR ANYWAY~]

I'll make sure to put in a good word for you once you're set. They all love me.

[ooc: perfection. =w=]

[therealbrianna]

[ She's flailing her hands around now in typical excited teen girl fashion, but she's keeping it minimal. ]

OH. MYGOD YES that would be amazing!! I swear I'll still work hard and you won't regret this at all! And I don't see why they wouldn't love you. [ She winks at Tala because she is the epitome of everything amazing in Brianna's eyes. ]

[thetalavega]

[Oh, stop, you~]

Yeah, well. I'm the best.

[therealbrianna]

[ She's laughing in agreement because Tala is the best.

Speaking of getting better... ]

Alistair won't mind if I ask for shooting lessons from him, will he?

[thetalavega]

If he does mind, he's going to have to answer to me.

[She won't settle for anything less.]

[therealbrianna]

[ That gets a laugh from her. By now, they've always been kidding around, bullying their daddies or blademates. ]

Thanks Tala, I know you're kidding but it'd mean so much to me if he said yes willingly!

[thetalavega]

Go and ask him, then! He's actually pretty easy to approach.

[No, he really isn't. Tala, however, believes strongly in her bestie's ability to shoulder her way into everything, for everyone.]

[therealbrianna]

[ Yay, she has her BFF's permission! ]

Okay! I will then. I'd ask Eli but he's just so quiet. I mean, I know Alistair can be quiet too, but at least he'd humor me.

[ She manages a small laugh. ] No offence, of course. It's just that he seems to be busy all the time.

[thetalavega]

Mm, well, that's my husband for you.

[Said with much fondness, though.]

We're both pretty busy. He just takes on a lot more than I do.

[therealbrianna]

[ She's nodding. ]

Yeah, I can tell you both are. Which reminds me, thank you so much again for taking me in. Can't think of a better mentor, really.

[thetalavega]

You needed help. The Lost don't have to be so Lost, right?

[Smiling now, without any edge. Changeling needed to help each other out.]

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles at her gorgeous mentor before suddenly feeling the urge to hug her.

Not the tight, bone-crushing hug though, but it's tight enough to convey what Brianna's really feeling: plain gratitude. ]

[thetalavega]

[She's hugging right back, because honestly? She's happy that she got to save another one. She hasn't always been successful.]

Anyway, let's drink!

[therealbrianna]

[ She laughs and lifts her glass up. ]

Oh I don't drink much, but... Let's!!

[ Her bestie is THE exception, after all. That and a few others. ]
