Day 295 [Open]
Who: Zuko and anyone
Open: Open!
When: Day 295
Where: Dragonfield
What: Rejection hurts.
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Honor
When it comes to rejection and disappointment, Zuko's had years of practice. It should help that it wasn't really a rejection exactly, just nothing changing. Aoi didn't reject her as a person. They're still friends. Awkward friends, for the moment, as anyone who joins the morning swim lessons can probably attest to.
But this is the first time she's tried to handle it without getting angry. No one did anything wrong, so there's no one to be angry with, not even herself this time. She didn't do anything wrong, right? She doesn't think so, but there's still this feeling that won't go away, and maybe it is her fault.
What would Uncle tell her? It's hard to imagine. He only ever tried to talk to her about boys, and she always changed the subject.
She made tea for herself anyway to see if it would help, but in the end she just winds up sitting with the cup forgotten in her hands. Kizuna plays nearby, attacking various plants by the shore.

"That part isn't magic, right?"
((Ice cream party time? Sure!))

"Megaera made it," Zuko states, as though it's important to be clear that it wasn't Zuko's idea.
no subject
"...I thought I smelled something sweet."
no subject
Curiosity aroused, he soon ventures over to where Megaera, Zuko and the others were gathered, frowning in thought.
"Uh... did something happen?"
no subject
no subject
. . . huh."
That would explain all the bright colors and the sugary smell, wouldn't it? At this point his stomach soon rumbled, as if to announce to everyone present that ice cream needed to be a thing.
Still stunned, Naegi soon ended up getting one of the ice cream scoops to serve himself a couple of scoops - nothing special about the flavors he'd picked - and paused deliberately for a few moments as he glanced over at Megaera, Alucard and Zuko, holding out the scoop.
". . . uh, right! Do any of you want anything?"
no subject
Zuko shakes her head, holding up her cup of pink ice cream. "I already have some."
The little dragon sitting across her shoulders makes a noise, but Zuko gives her a look. "I don't think it's good for you."

"That's very sweet of you," she says. "I hope you left some for me, though?"
no subject
"What's that?"
no subject
Don't mind Naegi, he's just going to be involved with nomming on this ice cream cone to really do much aside from gesture vaguely in the direction of the counter.
"You should get some. It's really good."
no subject
no subject
It's not exactly something he's used to.
no subject
"It's... a dessert." Zuko realizes she doesn't know how ice cream is made in her attempt to answer that question. Then she adds helpfully, "Neither of the pink ones is lychee."
If he even knows what lychee is.
no subject
"Hey, what's going on? Why's everyone over here?"
no subject
But really though, what even is this shade of blue? It's definitely not blueberry, and it doesn't taste floral either. Maybe he should ask.
...Eventually.
no subject
Or, well, what looks like vanilla ice cream.
no subject
"Yup. Figured it'd be good for everyone, so..."
no subject
Kohaku. Think about your life choices.
And she does. For a moment.
"Ahh, who am I kidding?? Miso goes good with everything."
no subject
". . . what's going on? Did I miss something important...?"
no subject
You know what? She's just going to have a seat at one of the tables. Kizuna crawls down her arm in an attempt to get at the ice cream, but Zuko digs some jerky (regular, no chocolate chips) out of her tunic and offers it to the little dragon instead.
no subject
"They have ice cream! They might even have miso ice cream!"
no subject
"... I must admit, I didn't expect this many people to show up..."
