Day 325 [Open]
Who: Zuko, Colin, Ikuri, and anyone else!
Open: Open!
When: Day 325
Where: Around the Bastion, Dragonfield
What: Time for some Talks
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Honor. Also fury, and not much patience.
It's been a few days since the disaster of Crona's death. Zuko would like to think that that's given her time and distance to process it, but most of her feelings haven't changed much since their return. If anything, she's just forced herself to focus on other things, and avoid dealing with her grief, and her guilt. Not that she's realized it.
It probably doesn't help that she hasn't gotten a decent night's sleep since. But she's used to that, and if she's going to lose sleep, she can at least do it standing guard instead of tossing and turning. She's been taking regular shifts guarding the prisoners, and she's taken to carrying her swords with her within the Bastion, as a precaution not only against escape attempts, but any threat of outside attack as well.
And the swords are also for Colin. Once she's finished a guard shift, she'll be looking for him to take him up on his challenge, and also for Ikuri, for the talk she thinks she's clear-headed enough now to give.
[Later...]
Besides all that, she is still a dragon mom, and that's probably the only thing that's gotten her to settle down at all. Later in the day, she can be found near dragonfield attempting to teach Kizuna how to breathe fire. In addition to a short demonstration, this seems to involve lying down on the ground with the little dragon on her chest so she can feel Zuko's breathing.
So far it doesn't seem to be working, but neither of them appear discouraged. For Kizuna's part, it may be because she doesn't know she's supposed to be breathing fire.

Ah! You didn't deny it!
Does that mean you and Aoi-chan smooched and became girlfriends??
no subject
What- You didn't know?
1/2
[... about... certain stuff that... she should probably tell Aoi about someday.]
2/2
[... Ibuki don't push them along so fast]
no subject
W- we're not engaged!
[Though her hand goes to her chest where the amulet of mara from Paarthurnax usually rests. She's not wearing it today.]
Ibuki Mioda, master of mood whiplash
Aw... but oh, oh, guess what? Ibuki is!
[she holds out her hand so that Zuko can see the gold ring with the citrine set into it]
it's impressive. good job.
This is... an engagement... ring? [They don't have that custom in the Fire Nation but she does know about engagement necklaces.]
You're really engaged?
[She's not completely sure Ibuki might not be kidding her.]
no subject
You're really surprised, huh?
no subject
[Oh wait that's probably not the right thing to say.]
Congratulations.
no subject
But, thank you! ... you'll go to the wedding and stuff when we have the thing, right?
no subject
Of course I'll attend.
no subject
Alright! Ibuki will let you know first thing when Ippo-chan and Ibuki decides on a day!
[....... m-maybe if she waits long enough, Zuko and Colin will cool down enough and it'll be okay for both of them to be there???]
no subject
[She's not smiling but a lot of the tension in her face seems to have eased anyway.
......
And yeah you may have to. seat them on complete opposite sides? Provide blinders? Mood-mellowing drugs??]
