you know,   you can relax when you’re with me.   you know that right?

@flamse,               you might be surprised though,   i’m pretty strong if you think about it!      [    he exclaims,   raising his arm and flexing a little,   free hand patting his bicep before a laugh escapes.    ]      you don’t always have to be so worried,   you know.   despite how i am,   i think i have a pretty good chance and keeping myself safe even if you were to take a break you know.      [    green irises train on her,   a pause,     ]      would you like to..  go to dinner with me?

@earthbnd !          [ a short snort is heard from her as she watches him carefully enter the room and gracefully plop down on a seat. ]     damn right you’re not.  you wouldn’t last a day id you were.     [ her tone shifts in the slightest, a hint of casualness if listened to carefully. a way of speaking she only ever really used with him and occasionally her father when they were feeling like bonding with one another (whatever that meant). ]      i was keeping watch in case something happened while you trained.    [ the answer to his question implied, no she hadn’t eaten ]

@flamse,               [    a lop-sided smile falls on his lips,   crossing his arms as he leans against the door frame.   green irises watching her,   a chuckle escaping,    ]      it’s just me,   you know.   don’t have to go all commander on me,   i’m not one of your soldiers.      [    the avatar soon moves into the room,   closing the door quietly as he comfortably settles down in a seat.   seemingly unguarded,   relaxed,   and lazy   (as per usual).      [    a pause,    ]      have you just been here this entire time?   have you eaten yet at all?

MY CATGATOR IS ON THE LOOSE.

@flamse,              [    li-yong notices the conflictive emotions shift on her features,   although he wasn’t able to catch a better understanding of her emotions as hikaru hid them so well.    ]      you know,   you should laugh more..   a smile suits you.      [    he pipes up,   thinking it’s better to be honest now then make her feel the need to overthink his actions.    ]      i think she was scared off,   usually she behaves a lot better,   but mimi usually can’t handle strangers coming up to her.   i think someone probably came by without warning..     (SIGH),    i thought it would be fine to leave for just a second.   i wanted to grab water for her.

@earthbnd !        [ she wasn’t sure how he’d react to her uncharacteristic reaction but it wasn’t what she expected. perhaps she half thought he would laugh with her or make it a big deal.. was it disappointment she felt? she shoved the thoughts quickly out of her mind as she nodded ]      you should train her.  at least to not run off like this cause then we’re stuck on look and rescue duty.

@flamse,              [    he was stunned by her laugh,   but it wasn’t any negative view or that the avatar was judging.   in fact,   it made his own cheeks flush as witnessing a more relaxed moment of hikaru seemed previous,   and it made him almost shy for a second.   almost mirroring her,   he clears his own throat as well,   eyes narrowing for a moment.    ]      i’m sure it’ll be fine,   you know,   she’s not too vicious as some people might think!   just..   sometimes.

(oh?)    hikaru!   ah..   what i’m doing?   just trying to get into the avatar state,   i can’t do it for some reason.

@earthbnd !         [ a chuckle emits from her lips at his obvious nerves, the lightning disappearing from her hands with a final crack. the threat was completely empty, never even considering truly harming him with her own hands. but it didn’t stop her from trying to push him ]      you just said it yourself,  your fire bending still needs work.  i’d like to see at least a spark before i grow old.      [ her tone serious but the flicker in her eyes indicating to him that she was just teasing. she knew he could tell ]

@flamse,              [    a nervous chuckle leaves his lips,   and there would be a small drop of sweat falling if he wasn’t already back on his feet from the (possible?) empty threat.   although li-yong wouldn’t test it,   and he’s scratching the back of his head.    ]      no,   i think that my fire-bending still needs a bit of work,   you know!      [    a light-hearted,   but obviously nervous smile forms on his lips.    ]      but really..   how long are we going to keep training?

@earthbnd !         it could.     [ she responds, reaching down to flick his ear before standing back up, perfectly straight as per usual ]      of course that would mean that you’ve managed to master all four elements, come in contact with the avatar state and complete combat training.     [ a pause as she brings her hand up, lightning cracking between her fingers ]     shall we put it to the test?
