Day 216 [Open] | Business as usual!

Who: Ryu 3, Open
Open: Open
When: Day 216
Where: The Forge/Aoi's Pool/The Onsen
What: Ryu is getting used to life back at the Bastion, but there's still some things amiss.
Format: Will match!
Warnings: Dergons


Ryu is up and about, his recovery has proceeded quite well for someone in his poor state.  While his physical injuries and balance issues are mostly done and gone, there's still the matter of replacing his gear.  Especially with his sword lost, this has left him with going to the forge, trying out a variety of different weapons.  Even some of the ranged options, which Ryu might have ordinarily never considered before.

It's here people might find him using one of these weapons with varying degrees of success, though he finds himself drawn back to swords whenever he ventures into anything he might consider too exotic.  Perhaps you can help him make up his mind, or just chat it up with one of the resident dragons of the Bastion.

---

His habits of regaining his physical prowess have led him to try swimming a bit more often, though he's cautious to go out too far into the deep end.  After all, he can't swim very well.  He knows Aoi would be a fine teacher, but he hasn't had a chance to speak with her since his departure onto the Skyway.  He figures she's probably bound to show up sooner or later, given her natural affinity for swimming.

Though while he's trying to get the hang of swimming, he'll welcome any company that might come by the pool to see just who's making all the waves.

---

Ryu's day after all is said and done closes at the Onsen, where he's keen to relax  in the heat while the aches and pains of his body are soothed.  The times he spends visiting the Onsen are usually in quiet contemplation.  Be it something someone said, the day's events, or whatever it is he tends to mull over in a given day.  If your timing is right, you might catch him in the Onsen, or on his way home.  He's certainly looking a lot better and walking mostly straight without his walking stick.  He seems to be in a good enough mood to talk, at least.

"It's important to have people like that." People who believe in you and support you, especially when you're having a hard time doing it for yourself.

"Although, it's hard to imagine you being a bad person. I'm sure you would have been different, but not that different."
windgod: (Actually...)

[Well, Ippo had been out and about helping to keep the Bastion tidy when he saw his friend by the forge testing out some weapons; considering he'd lost his sword, it seemed like he was testing his hand at some other options too. Either way, it was good to see him back in fighting shape, so he'd approach with a smile and his hand raised.]

Too restless to stay in bed, huh?

Zuko is quiet for a moment before admitting, "I've stolen before, from good people sometimes. I never paid them back like you did."
amphibian: (but you're not gonna spend your life)

[DID SOMEONE CALL FOR AN OVEREAGER SWIMMER

Because here comes Aoi at a sprint, bursting through the doors and cannonballing right into the deep end.

It's only after she surfaces, grinning, that she acknowledges that there are other people here.
] Hi, Ryu!
amphibian: (so hang onto your head)

[She can't help but giggle juuust a little at the way all his hair just droops.]

Really? Well, here I am! How come?

"Selfless or not, you still repaid a debt, didn't you? There are a lot of things I never got to make up for."

Well hopefully you won't just let me hit you if I start throwing punches.

[Ippo gave a small laugh and gave Ryu a few pats on the shoulder; it was nice to see him on his feet after all he'd been through. He'd right scared the daylights out of him on the skyway between the dragon form and how beat up he was.]

Have you found anything that's caught your fancy yet?

[The onsen already has an occupant when Ryu enters, a rather bruised man soaking after a trip to the Skyway. Rob looks up when he hears someone enter and raises a hand out of the water in greeting.]
daughterofursa: (I know)

Zuko shakes her head, because Ryu doesn't really know what he's talking about.

"I wasn't desperate. I was angry. And I've made a lot of mistakes. I know... I'm doing okay now, but I don't want to make any excuses for who I used to be."
amphibian: (i can't get used)

[personal profile] amphibian 2014-08-12 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well, you've found the right girl! They don't call me a Super High School Level Swimmer for nothing! [She beams and pushes herself to the nearest pool's edge, hefting herself up to take a seat there.] Better means you already swim a li'l bit, though, right? So show me how well you can swim right now!
daughterofursa: (if it comes to it)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-08-12 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Zuko hesitates, but she doesn't think Ryu would suddenly hate her for admitting it. She's convinced at least some of the Bastion would, of course, but not Ryu.

And besides, with Toph here, the other girl might wind up mentioning it off-hand. It's farther in the past for her, and she never witnessed Zuko at her worst first-hand.

"I spent most of the past three years hunting the Avatar. The one person who could restore balance to our world. I was willing to do anything for it."

[He nods at Ryu. When he speaks his voice is low enough that he's hard to hear if Ryu isn't paying attention.]

Rob. [A pause.] Got here a bit under two weeks ago.

So I've heard. This place seems to be doing reasonably well for itself though, all things considered.
