♐ 004 // [Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Raven is sitting in a tree outside house 12, bow in hand. Around his neck is a very warm looking scarf, given to him by Miyabi. Despite the fact he's complaining, it doesn't seem as though he actually cares, he's just doing it because he can. OOC: Also all other threads would take place before Yuri and Vash.]

I'm startin' ta feel real sorry for all those new feathers, showin' up in weather like this. Ya must be absolutely insane if ya think this snow is fun, or even pretty! I hate snow, snowmen, snowballs, snowstorms, igloos, icicles, ice cubes, ice cream, all of it! Urgh...

Please tell me it's gonna start gettin' warmer soon. I don't know how much more of the cold this old man can take.

Vash old pal? I take it all that noise over the journal would mean yer back to normal! How'd ya feel about meetin' me fer a drink at the bar tonight? I got the feelin' I'm gonna need a really hard drink later on.

[Filtered to Yuri | 99% unhackable]

Hey, Yuri! I've got an arrow with yer name on it! [He holds up an arrow to the camera, it has Yuri's name crudely written on it, followed by a little patronizing heart.] I'm gonna shoot it at your face! Hah!

[Raven's leg is fine, he just can't move the dummies off of him whilst one of his arms isn't work at all.]

Move that one, that one there!

[Action]

[trueknight]

This one? [Grabbing hold of the one he thinks Raven's referring to and moving it away now.]

[Action] 1/2

[crisisrain]

That's the one! Thanks a bunch!

[He gets up and dusts himself down. That wasn't a very nice fall.]

[Action] 2/2

[crisisrain]

[And then with his left hand, he goes to punch Yuri in the face. Hey, he admitted defeat, you just deserve it.]

[Action] 1/2

[trueknight]

[TAKING IT LIKE A MAN ... mostly because he didn't see it coming.]

[Action]

[trueknight]

[... And while he does glare at Raven for that, he just turns and starts walking away afterward.]

Yeah, right. You're welcome.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[He expected more of a reaction than that. Luceti must've really gotten to the kid, being here so long, he's not sure if Yuri has grown or just changed.]

No problem, you needed it.

[Action]

[trueknight]

[Luceti's definitely gotten to Yuri -- more than he'd be comfortable with admitting.]

Maybe. But I hope you know I'm giving your dinner to Repede tonight for that one.

[Or ... maybe he's just tired and not in the mood to keep going at the moment. One or the other.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Heh, I don't want it anyway. No offense, I'm just not hungry.

[Throwing the fight wasn't that bad of an idea. He can tell he did some major damage to the kid, but even then, there's clearly something off about the whole thing. He thought Yuri would've been more aggressive and less forgiving.

So he mumbles, just out of hearing range.]

Ya've really grown, kid. Don't get too soft.

[Action]

[trueknight]

... All right. Guess I'll have to find some other way to get you back for that.

[Not that he doesn't have some ideas for right now, but none of them would work well with his leg being painful to stand on, at the moment -- especially with his adrenaline from the fight fading.

Yuri takes several more steps forward -- slow ones at that, and clearly favoring one leg over the other -- before stopping and looking back.]

You gonna stay here, or what?

[Action] 1/2

[crisisrain]

No. I'm gonna go home and go to sleep, like always...

[Action] 2/3 I LIED LOL

[crisisrain]

[He pauses for a moment whilst Yuri is still looking at him, holding his bow out with the last of his strength.]

[Action] 3/3

[crisisrain]

[And then he uses Love Shot. That should help your leg, no use stumbling around in the snow dude, you'll fall.]

[Action] 1/2

[trueknight]

[Seeing Raven draw his bow, given what he did a minute ago, Yuri tightens his grip on his sword--]

[Action]

[trueknight]

[--then relaxes when he realizes that it's just Love Shot. Thanks to that, he shouldn't be all but limping around anymore, even if some pain will likely remain for a little while longer.

Regardless, he turns away, shrugging.]

I hope you don't think that's gonna make me forget about paying you back for that punch.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I wasn't tryin' ta heal you, that's just the way the arte works. [Tsun.]

Don't make me punch you again.

[Action]

[trueknight]

[Sir, did you just tsun at him. Yuri half-turns to look back at Raven.]

Just because I didn't retaliate the first time doesn't mean I won't make you regret it the second.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Oh~ Scary talk from the guy limpin' out of the barracks! I'm shakin' in my boots! Don't hurt me Mr. Lowell!

[Action]

[trueknight]

It's my leg that isn't working right. My fists work just fine.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Sounds like yer mouth is workin' fine too. Why don't ya save the punches fer someone who deserves it more than me?

[Action]

[trueknight]

And who here deserves it more than you?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Malnosso.

[Action]

[trueknight]

[There's a short, quick pause -- Yuri saw the Malnosso first hand during the last draft, and they ... weren't what he expected. Which just made him more annoyed -- seeing his enemies with families and in such defenseless states, just ... well.

There was a reason why he didn't want to hear more about Alexei from Raven way back when during that one skit.]

I mean someone I can get to easily.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Dat skit. Raven starts walking towards Yuri, he has no intentions of staying in the barracks.]

I'm sure ya've made some enemies here that aren't me.

[Action]

[trueknight]

Not any that have bothered to stick around for long.
