[Phase 1: Action]

[ In the backyard behind House 56 there is now a trampoline. Why? A late birthday gift for Ikki now that Masaomi is back from his mission. Fortunately, the MARS people plopped it right there all set up so he only had to make his own down to it (he didn't even go back to his apartment so he's in his mission attire) still to make sure it's there. So. Yeah that's there. And he's considering how to put a bow or something on it - but he doesn't have a bow... ]

[Phase 2: other Action]

[ A week ago, the event ended and Masaomi ollied out. Now he's back from his mission and frankly, he feels a little bit vindicated to have completed the basic training that he failed last time. Linda wanted to rest at the apartment, so he's out solo and wearing this. After he showered and generally felt like he was being cool.

He doesn't feel like working, and while he is in the mood to hit on girls, he's not in the mood to put as much effort into it as he'd like. So mostly, he can be found reading a book in public. Namely, it's a book of poems. He also has a notebook, and seems to be considering something of his own. He should probably make a post or go track down his family or friends or exes from the event... but. Oh well.

In terms of errands, he really only has one, and it's at the Smithy. He's hoping to run into Raven or ... not Sokka, but who knows what'll come to pass]

[Since Raven goes to work every day, rain or shine or sleet or- he's going to run into her.

Doesn't mean she has to be thrilled about it.]

Back to try to kill yourself a different way? [Fire, maybe, instead of lightning?]

[action]

[generalflirt]

[You know a part of him was expecting Sokka. In light of that, Raven is actually a relief. But even so...]

You might want to work on that public relations, Raven-chan.

[action]

[pendantry]

[She has to do business; she doesn't have to be friendly.]

Are you just here to loiter?

[action]

[generalflirt]

Depends, do I get escorted off the premises if I am? [Because that might be worth it. Or that's what his wide smirk implies as he goes to lean on the counter towards her]

[action]

[pendantry]

No. It lets me know I can ignore you.

[Without consequences, anyway.]

If you're here to buy something it's different.

[action]

[generalflirt]

Raven-chan, you wound me. Seriously, I think I might start to bleed from that blade like tongue.

[action]

[pendantry]

[She lifts an eyebrow at him, but her hands don't stop the polish job they're giving one of her on-display pieces.]

You didn't answer.

[action]

[generalflirt]

What if I just wanted to shoot the breeze with you? Like, after all, I could ask how you're doing this week.

[action]

[pendantry]

Fine.

[Not perfect, maybe not even very good. But not bad, either. Things are okay.

That isn't all he wants and she knows it, which is why she keeps looking at him.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

Well, you are fine, at least.

[oh snap]

But that's good. Doing well, feeling happy?

[action]

[pendantry]

I guess. ["Fine" as a comment on her appearance isn't part of her internal slang.] Why are you here?

[action]

[generalflirt]

Two reasons! The first of which... if to cheer up your day! [He holds up the two fingers. Waggle. Waggle]

[action]

[pendantry]

[Well that's not succeeding at all. Raven's frustrated sigh speaks volumes.

She's not going to ask. He can get to his real thing when he gets to it.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

In fact, we could even go dancing.

[action]

[pendantry]

[There went his chance.]

If you just came to be annoying, then don't stay. [Raven scoffs and turns aside, going back to her polishing. He'll go on standing there, trying to goad her, or he'll state his business, or he'll leave.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

Harsh. That's harsh - you could just say no. [And he sighs, shaking his head dramatically]

Maybe we can start small, go swimming instead. Or even out for drinks.

[action]

[pendantry]

[This time, he gets no response. She's had people stand in the shop all day and babble, with no noticeable strain on her work - Buffy, for example, is a frequent chatty visitor. Answering him in any way is just going to push him to keep getting on her nerves.

Besides, when the accessories are polished and shiny there is always inventory to take.]

1/5

[generalflirt]

Not into drinks, yeah?! Then how about we instead go to fly watch a movie? Oh, play a game!

2/5

[generalflirt]

But if you're not into games, we could always fight a little too, right? After all, I'm pretty sure you're strong. Buuuut, it isn't in my principle to hit my dates, so oh, that might be out.

[He laughs at that one. Because he's self-assured that joke was hilarious]

3/5

[generalflirt]

Mmm, mm. Though, maybe you'd rather I do something more personal. Write you a poem, cook you a lunch?! You really don't need to be so saucy, Raven-chan, after all, you just need to ask!

4/5

[generalflirt]

[ ...

...

... Oh, she's good. ]

[action]

[generalflirt]

[finally, defeated, his hangs his head and sighs. The next words are in a much more... blase tone]

I actually am here for a job though. If you're not too busy, that is.

[action]

[pendantry]

[At last. Raven turns her head without turning the rest of herself, just looking at him.]

What's the job?

[action]

[generalflirt]

It's something Hiccup used to work on for me. Did you ever see the batons I had him work on for me?

[That said, he reaches into the bag he brought with him to get it either way. And he sets it on the table]

[action]

[pendantry]

[Raven frowns at the baton. She doesn't feel like she should interfere with something of Hiccup's, even though he's gone, but if there's no one else who can-]

It's a weapon, though. Shouldn't you ask Sokka?
