Appointments Post ( II )

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Masaomi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
Written, June 10th]

Sandshrew, Dugtrio, and Onix. [She thinks... He hopes she felt it. A bond with Soren. Over time, maybe she's come to like it more. He never feels more in sync with Linda than went they battle...

Oh well. He motions for her and Soren to follow him back towards Katara]

[ Ikki nods, trying to remember the names for later, before adding to what she'd said. ] The - Dugtrio? - got Soren in the chin that one time, and I didn't notice the Sandshrew and they made it all windy and sandy and that hurt Soren but not a lot and those weren't good, but other things were.

[ She...had a lot to learn. Maybe then she'd be able to help him out more. She does brighten up as the near Katara, though. ] Oh! But at the end, with the Dugtrio, that was fun!

[It's official: She hates this. It's foreign and unnatural and dangerous. She had practically bit her cheek through in effort to just continue to stand there and trust Ikki to handle herself.

She doesn't wait for Ikki to get closer to her, moving at first jerkily to meet them in an effort not to simple run and sweep her away. She stops, bending down, and smooths Ikki's bangs.]

You did very well.

Yeah she did! Especially at the end there, when you were moving with Soren! I felt the bond growing right there!

[He knows he's more upbeat than any of them here except the Pokemon, probably. Linda, incidentally, is going to offer a paw up to Sorren for a high five. If he wants. After all, he deserves a little leeway right now]

You mean when I was bending with him? [ She'd just wanted to give him more of a chance.

Ikki smiles up at Katara reassuringly, taking one of Katara's hands as her grandmother fusses with her hair.

Soren, for his part, eyes Linda for a beat, trying to figure out if this is a serious offer - and then accepts. It...wasn't terrible, although she totally showed off at the end. ]

[Taking hold of Ikki's hand, she straightens to look at Masaomi.]

Mmmhm! I don't have super powers, but Linda and I have out own style to play off each other. So do Gold and his partners and Silver and his [He says that part to Katara - he knows she watched Gold and Silver's battle, she must have noticed that] so that was a super important first step to your partnership with Soren.

[And now he turns back to Ikki-]

That is, if you still want to continue.

[ She nods, but glances over at Katara a split second after doing so. They'd had the talk about personal responsibility with who she spoke to, but did this fall under that? ] Katara?

[Her eyes were shaded. She hated this. Hated it. Her gaze rested on Linda and Soren for a long, long moment, her lips forming a firm line.

But. It might be a way to help Ikki survive here. And she wasn't going to let anything get in the way of that.]

We might need to talk to Aang about it before we can completely commit.

[She turns her gaze back to Ikki.]

But I'll support you with whatever you decide.

Ah. [You know, his last chat with Aang ended with... well, that's only fair. The guy should be leaving his ivory tower anyway, and so he keeps a pretty blase face through all of it, smiling with a slightly forced, but even smile

"Shall I call the man, or is this a family purview thing?"

No wait, before that. He crouches down to Ikki's level again, lightly taking one of her shoulders to turn and face him]

Ikki, I personally would love for you to be Soren's partner. Because it means I could train with you. [He might as well be upfront with that] Similarly, I think he's made it clear that he would love for it to come to pass as well. But... you're under no obligation, to either of us. Soren can find a different partner, with some help from my comrades. The choice has to be your own, and for your own purposes. [He feels like he's berating her to reiterate this again.

But to be honest he's mostly doing it for Katara's benefit]

[ Ikki, for her part, is used to the way things are dealt with at home. Katara and Aang discuss things - with her and without her, although she's always told what is happening and she always knows the rules - and decide things, although she's supposed to listen to Uncle Sokka and Aunt Toph as well (although she shouldn't listen to Toph when Toph tells her she can ignore the rules). Their house is fairly big on family discussions and family meetings - which is why dinner is a big part of her day, and Ikki's always home before it starts to help set up.

She purses her lips, frowning a little at Masaomi, although she's not upset. ]

I'd like to be Soren's partner. [ She can be frank, too - she normally is. But there's a little more to it than that, and she looks up at Katara again. ] - But Katara and Grandpa and Uncle Sokka and Aunt Toph might have to talk about it, too, 'cause I'm seven and we have house rules and that's how it works.

...But that's my decision. [ She's confirming it to Katara more than Masaomi. ] So, we'll make up new rules, too. With Soren and me and everyone. Right?

[Katara smiles painfully, like through cracked glass.]

Right.

[She bent and kissed Ikki's forehead. Straightening up, she feels a bit more like herself. She glances at Masaomi. Thank you, you know.]

Soooo. Should I call Aang-kun here? I was thinking about calling Gold, but if it's not confirmed, maybe we should ask the man out.

[He says this, standing up and winking at Katara. Of course.]

I don't think we have to? [ Katara's pretty much confirmed she'll support Ikki, and Ikki doesn't think her grandfather would have any major objections. ] Well, it's confirmed for me, I mean!

But should we, Katara? [ It's not actually her choice if they do or don't, after all. ]

I think it'd probably be better to know what we're doing before we move on.

[That, to Ikki, before turning to Masaomi.]

Please give him a call.

Yes, ma'am. [And he goes to get his journal out of his pocket. Linda remains back with the girls and soren and he walks off a bit to the side. Not quite out of earshot but enough for them to have a measure of privacy if you want]

Aang-kun? Excuse me?

[Aang had just gotten back to the house when he got the journal message.]

Masaomi?

Did you get Ikki's note? ...And Katara's if she left one?

[Of note: dropped the -chan on Ikki]

[It's not something he actively pays attention to.]

Yeah! Is Ikki still with you?

Yeeeeah, and now Katara is too. And she's requesting you out here at the Dome. Mind joining us, my man?

[But the friendliness is definitely a good sign.]

Oh - sure! I can head over right away!

Thanks, we'll be waiting!

[And he closes the book. Seeing as how they're done using this room he turns to the girls and-]

So, to the lobby, ladies?

Edited 2012-10-19 05:01 (UTC)

Alright - I'll see you there.

[And Aang closes the journal, then starts gliding his way over.]

[To the lobby]

[ Ikki would have asked Katara to check on Soren's injuries, if any. What is the difference between people healer and bird healer?

Otherwise just chilling with Soren and maybe Linda on the floor here. ]
