[Backdated to yesterday]

[Friends from Aselia (aka not Yuan)]

[He promised Korra he would ask people to come, so here we go]

Yo. Some cute girl named Korra wants to go up to the mountains on Saturday to train, so she doesn't terrify ducks or something with her powers. So I'll be gone all day since it's a few hours ride.

If any of you wanna tag along or whatever, I won't stop you. Korra sounded excited about the snow up there, so there's that.

[....What he never said he'd be GOOD at it]

[/Filter]

[Zelos meanwhile is chilling under a tree near the duckpond, since the roof seemed lame today. He's got his hands behind his head as he rests again the tree, his legs stretched out in front of him. Mostly he seems to be watching things around him, still deciding whether or not he's glad to be back. The ducks are doing their own thing in the pond, though they seem to be evading him, even going out their way to do so and if one steps near it will even hiss at him. Because hey, they still remember him as the dude the tore up the place sparring with Korra.]

[Oh well]

[ Raising a hand to the back of her neck, Arya narrows her eyes at Zelos. ]

How much do you hold back?

[wilder]

Hm?

[persequor]

When we spar. I know you've always held back, but how much do you?

[wilder]

[a pause and a thoughtful noise]

You know, I don't know.

[persequor]

You don't know?

[wilder]

Haha, nope!

Fighting with my full powers would've brought on too many problems, so I learned how to fight without needing to tap into that. At this point, it's natural to hold back.

[persequor]

[ She bites her lip. ]

Can they be harmful to you?

[wilder]

I don't think so, the others seem okay when they use theirs. [Okay except maybe that sacrifice move that renders them unconscious but...that is a stupid spell anyway]

[persequor]

Oh. [ Maybe magic isn't as welcome in his world as she'd thought? It would make sense. ]

[wilder]

[Hahaha it's so not. he simply nods with an "mm" noise. ]

[persequor]

I should go. I have to finish packing.

[wilder]

Packing?

[persequor]

Yes.

[wilder]

Packing for what?

[persequor]

We found a place to live. It's away from the castle. [ Oh, the happiness that brings. ]

[wilder]

Oh that's good! In the city, I take it? [Dany sleeps in a tent, you can't assume!]

[persequor]

Yes. When we've finished, I'm sure Mother would love to have you as a guest.

[ And there is no fear of you being beheaded and having your head replaced with your pet's. Because Starks are Good People. ]

[wilder]

[a chuckle]

I'd be honored to be one!

[persequor]

[ She grabs him by the wrist. ]

Here. Bend down.

[wilder]

Hm?

[a skeptical look, but he'll do so]

[persequor]

[ Eff the skepticism; you're just too tall. Putting her hands on either cheek, she smushes his face playfully and kisses the tip of his nose. ]

Happy nameday.

[wilder]

[Why are you so adorable Arya? My god. He smiles and chuckles a little]

Thanks, my little wolf.

[He'll pat her on the head]

Now run along, go help pack.

[persequor]

Come, Nymeria. [ When the wolf joins her, she waves. ] Goodbye. Let's go, girl. [ She starts running. ] I'll race you!

[ Nymeria barks and runs after her. ]

[wilder]

[He'll give a wave back and smile as he watches Arya and Nymeria leave. ]

[Only once they are well out of their eye-shot does he realize the fond smile hasn't left his face. He makes an amused snort at himself before going back to sit at the tree]
