School, is it? What's your favorite subject so far? [ She's never experienced the public education system for herself... She's curious! ]
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that about Appa, but I'm sure he's doing just fine.
[ As for her job... ] Well, not exactly... I'm training as a figure skater at the sports center. If you're ever free, you should come visit.
no subject
I guess art is okay since we don't get any homework in that class. [#priorities] Math is the worst class though, there're too many numbers everywhere.
[In comparison, the whole ice skating thing sounds wonderful and his look of disdain immediately disappears.]
A figure skater? Wow! Did you actually skate before this? What time do you practice? I'll definitely come watch.
no subject
You're a great artist. I still have that wonderful picture you made, you know. [ weh!! also everyone agrees, MATH SUX ]
Well, just at home on frozen ponds and such. This is quite different for me... But it's been fun to learn.
I practice very early in the morning, and through most of the afternoon. I'm supposed to be studying in the library for online courses, otherwise... [ the less-fun version of school... :T ]
no subject
[Ice skating practice and studying? If it were him, he'd just stick with the former. In fact, he's curious as to why she's doing both and he gives that question voice, eyes wide as he asks.]
How come you're doing both? Isn't just ice skating enough?
[If she practices enough, surely she'll be good enough to be a professional.]
no subject
I don't mind the studying too much, though. There's a lot of interesting things to read in the library. This world is very different from the ones I've been to before. [ (neeeeerrrrdddd) ]
Have you found any new sports or games that you enjoy at school?
no subject
Even if he'd rather be going out and experiencing those differences rather than read about them. One of those differences? Sports!]
There's a sport we play in gym class that's pretty cool. It's called dodgeball, and you're supposed to hit people on the other team with balls while trying not to get hit yourself. [Here, he puffs up a little.] I haven't gotten hit once.
[He may or may not be cheating with a very slight touch of airbending. No one's caught him yet, so it should be fine, right?]
Have you ever played it before?
no subject
Sounds exciting. How many balls are thrown at once? You must be so quick if nobody can hit you.
[ (don't let her know you're cheating, tho!!!!!!!!)
also, she meant to ask earlier but got distracted, ] By the way, who are you staying with?
[ Lance had mentioned the importance of the 'buddy system'... She wants to make sure Aang has at least one buddy!! ]
no subject
[That's a lie, there are definitely only seven or eight balls, but what's a little embellishment?]
And of course I'm fast, I'm an airbender. We're supposed to be quick and light on our feet. [With that said:] But we also play a lot of games as part of our training, so I'm used to avoiding stuff that's thrown at me.
[Let she think he's cheating or anything.]
And I'm staying with Shiro and Keith and Feferi. We're all one big happy family. [It's nice having a family, even if it's fake.] You should come visit sometimes! We've got a ton of frozen pizzas and ice cream.
no subject
More exciting that I thought, then. You don't get tired at all, playing? [ she can't imagine having to cartwheel around so many flying spherical objects.......... ]
That's so good to hear. ...It's nice having company, isn't it? I haven't had any roommates for a while, but I'm living with Lucina now.
[ also omg this house of children... ofc that's all they eat... not that she'll voice any objections. ] Delicious. I think I just might... You're welcome to stop by our place too, of course.
no subject
[If he could play dodgeball or soccer or basketball or all these new and exciting games instead of trying to imprint the capital of Canada and Mexico into his head, he would. But alas...!]
How's Lucina doing? Is she an ice skater too?
[ARE THEY BOTH GONNA BECOME ICE SKATING PROS, THE BLUE-HAIRED ICE SKATING DUO?]
no subject
Oh no, Lucina is a police officer. Pretty neat, don't you think? [ her 'twin' is so cool!!!! ]
And I believe she's doing all right so far. It's a lot to get used to, but she's very strong and capable.
...Though, I do get a little worried. You've heard the news lately, right? [ the news, their mission dossier, etc........ ]
no subject
Just kidding, that is super cool...! Aang doesn't know much about modern day police forces, but presumably they still wear cool uniforms and get all the power. (Though hopefully she doesn't end up part of some weird cult like the Dai Li......)]
If anyone can do it, Lucina can.
[He's got faith in his friends, just like Aqua. And though her next question's a little sobering, he does his best to maintain an upbeat expression.]
Yeah....but she'll be okay, along with everyone else. I was talking to Chihiro earlier and she said there's a bunch of people already trying to figure out a cure and everything. There's no way we won't find a way to fix everything.
no subject
—okay phew. ]
I think so too. There are a lot of talented individuals in ALASTAIR, and we've been through so much together already.
[ worrywart that she is, she's still an optimist at heart and is grateful that Aang is of the same mind. ]
Still, be careful out there, okay? Let me know if you need anything.
—Say, a bag of frozen vegetables. [ (spoken teasingly.) also, while she's on the topic of ice, ] Or a free skating pass.
no subject
I will! If I come visit, will you teach me how to skate like you?
[Be his skating senpai, Aqua.]
no subject
Of course. I'm sure you'll surpass me in no time.
