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.

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!

[She watches closely and waits until he's done before he says anything.] Okay, well, you've got the basics down! It's a matter of getting the nitty-gritty of the technique down—like, you should be stretching your arms out more, see? [She demonstrates a few strokes down her lane.] Pretend you wanna touch a ceiling that's juuuust out of your reach! Put your shoulder into it, too! Do you wanna swim more practically or competitively?
