First Lesson

[innerpeace]

Alright panda! What did you do this time?

[It had to be Po's fault right? He couldn't just randomly end up somewhere that wasn't the Jade Palace on his own...right?]

If it's not the panda...[Muttering, so much muttering.] Master Oogway! Did you do this? Is this some sort of lesson? [Please don't let this be a lesson about the panda. Don't tell him it's about the panda. He's had enough of the panda.

Really.]

Master? Please?

[A sigh and then he casually picks up the journal as he heads for the door, not exactly paying attention to where it is he is or going, instead talking reading the journal as he does, ears twitching.

A short, big eared panda is now wandering the castle, occasionally muttering into the journal about how things look different.]

((OOC: Open! All over the castle, the journal etc. And yes hugging/picking up/petting/etc is totally fine :3))

[Yes he's wearing clothes. All the animals are doing it Katniss gosh.

And was that really needed? One ear twitches and then he's stepping to the side to catch that arrow.

Casually and not looking behind him.

He's just that badass.]

Was that really necessary? [Oh by the way. The red panda talks.]

[accidentalrebellion]

[WHAT THE...--

...

Did that thing just talk to her? She's not sure whether that's more disturbing than the fact that he caught her arrow.

MuttmuttmuttDEFINITEMUTT.

Pardon her while she stands there, frozen, her bow still raised, lips slightly parted, with the widest eyes imaginable.]

[innerpeace]

[GRUMBLE!

He pauses there for a moment before sighing and turning around to look at her, ears flattened out.

What in the world are you Katniss and why are you looking at him like he's some sort of weird thing?]

I said, was it really necessary for you to do that? [Yup pointing the arrow at her as he talks.]

[accidentalrebellion]

[BECAUSE HE IS A WEIRD THING.

And, oh, that does it. The arrow being pointed at her? Yep. Totally confirms the suspicion. He's a mutt, and he's out to harm her, somehow.

Katniss, of course, doesn't think. She just reacts. And her reaction is to find enough functionality on her muscles to get into survival mode; instinctively, she grabs another arrow out of her quiver, loads it, and sends it flying (aiming for a place that'll take him down like one of her squirrels)]

[innerpeace]

[SHE'S THE WEIRD ONE!

And oh really? That's a stupid response considering he just plucked it right out of the air and didn't toss it at her or anything. Way to over react Katniss.

And his reaction is from years of finely honed instincts and training; he raises the journal up to let the arrow hit it before spinning around and presenting a moving target, only to chuck the journal at her head as he comes out of it and quickly following it towards her.]

[accidentalrebellion]

[Whatever she might have been expecting? It most certainly wasn't that.

Her reflexes are good. Very good. But they're not quite good enough for this. That book hits her in the head about half a second before she has the chance to dodge it.

And boy did that hurt.

She lets out a hiss as she stumbles off balance just a little.]

[innerpeace]

[This is what you get for training with the turtle that unlocked the secrets of kung fu. You get really good at these things.

And her being off balance is key as he launches himself into a kick aimed around her chest area.

And if he does that he's totally going to stand on her chest and smack her on the forehead with a panda scowl.]

[accidentalrebellion]

[Wow. R U D E.

This'll be her now, trying as best as she can to shove him the hell off of her. It's more of a wild, flailing sort of motion than anything; in a scramble like this, there really isn't much room for precision.]

[innerpeace]

[YOU'RE THE RUDE ONE!

And he's just having none of that and tries to grab one of her arms and then jumping to try and flip her onto her front. He's a lot stronger then he looks and she can't be heavier then Po right?]

[accidentalrebellion]

[NO THIS TOTALLY JUST PROVES THAT YOU ARE RUDE.

Stinking rude little mutt B|

She's so busy still trying to shove him away that... we-ell... he's going to manage to do that. Because, in the end, it wasn't physical strength that let her become a victor of the Hunger Games. Flippity flippity there she goes.]
