cool

[he's heading straight there]

[audacity]

[ gonna be waiting for him there! clearly no upset triggering the ask this time; he's restless, but his eyes are bright with anticipation ]

Dating thing went okay for you guys, right?

[throughbamboo]

[you know he's raring to go because he left his coat behind, he's excited for a fight]

Yup, went on a cute date to a monster truck rally, it was real fun.

How 'bout for y'all?

[audacity]

Jelly. We had a picnic, it was pretty okay. Our guy was a super sensitive and a little hallucination-stabby but chill otherwise.

[throughbamboo]

Hallucination-stabby don't seem that chill.

[audacity]

He only did it once.

[throughbamboo]

Oh, well, if it's only once.

But otherwise it was nice?

[audacity]

Yeah, otherwise it was fine.

Still made me want to hit something, though.

[throughbamboo]

S'fair.

Fight just sounds real good to me. More'n usual.

[audacity]

[ slides into more of a sparring stance ]

Was it one of those effects from your date?

[throughbamboo]

Oh yeah. Wantin' action was one of 'em, if ya didn't text me I would've dragged bro out for a fight.

[audacity]

So my timing was totally awesome, huh.

[throughbamboo]

It was pretty good.

[cracking his knuckles]

[audacity]

Come at me, then.

[throughbamboo]

[DON'T GOTTA TELL HIM TWICE HERE HE COMES]

[audacity]

[ laughs as he goes to dodge ]

[throughbamboo]

[normally he'd play more defense but not this time he wants ACTION.

He stops short and turns to throw a haymaker towards where he dodged]

[audacity]

[ oh this is perFECT

goes to roll to the side, then come up with a kick ]

— Thistle's gone, too. And Ivy.

[throughbamboo]

[he catches the kick, though he pauses at what Aster says]

Shit. Was wonderin' why she hadn't been messagin' me.

'M sorry, kid.

[attempting to take said leg he caught and just bodily throwing him]

[audacity]

[ is thrown! but catches himself in a handspring ]

...she was the only one besides you who knew me before. And Thistle's...been here from really early on. He was the only one who understood me, sometimes.

[ zooms at to throw a punch!! ]

[throughbamboo]

[he just tanks the punch, grunting]

Mmm . . . never met him, but I heard 'bout him from ya a few times. Seemed decent.

Are they lost or asleep?

[tries to kick out at him]

[audacity]

Ivy's lost. He's asleep.

[ oop, vaults over that leg and goes for a side jab ]

Aloe's engaged, I guess, which is cool. Seriously. I want him to be happy. But Nettle got all freaked out about it, which kinda feels like...should I be freaked out about it?

[throughbamboo]

She'll turn up sooner or later.

[he hopes. He side-steps the jab, then swings around with an elbow]

What's there to be freaked out 'bout?

[audacity]

[ drops, but the elbow def partially catches him and he reels a few steps ]

Something, something, Aloe's gonna stop sticking around because of some guy, I guess? But like...he went through a lot of trouble to adopt us. Wasn't even put off by the parents thing. And that's a pretty serious commitment...I think he takes it really seriously, too.

[ comes in with a roundhouse kick ]

[throughbamboo]

[he takes the kick with a grunt]

—oi, what does that mean, stop stickin' 'round? If he's takin' that serious, then why's he doin' that?
