3rd - I may be a fool, but I intend to be a live fool.

Who: Matrim Cauthon and you!
Where: Inside the Nostalgia Nook
When: Morning to Afternoon
Style: [Action!]
Status: Open~!

[Today, Mat's decided to look through all the selections of longbows, and if what he's muttering is any clue, he isn't finding what he's looking for. Only really seeing all the bows on his right doesn't help any.]

Blood and ashes...Too short. And that one feels about to crack... [He reaches for a couple more, lifting them individually before putting them back with a grumble, leaning on his ashandarei a bit.]

Too light. And that one was too heavy. [He turns left to better see the selection, lifting another possible choice before putting it back with a sigh.]

This one's too tall. And all of these probably wouldn't have enough flaming range. [Bother him?]
tsundyne: (thinking again)

[There are drawbacks and perks to any weapon, so Yukari doesn't see how that's anything worth noting... it is a matter of preference, though, so yeah. She can't really argue against it. At the very least, she certainly isn't going to make him use anything he doesn't want to.

So she just nods to acknowledge the fact, and she'll respond to his question.
]


That sounds about right, yeah. Go ahead and give it a try.

[A glance at the local behind the counter reveals that he doesn't seem to mind at all. Yukari's going to try out this compound bow herself, so Mat is free to do the same if he so wishes.

Even without arrows, they can at least get a feel for how difficult it is to use.
]
tsundyne: (whoa)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-02 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She's trying various bows too in the meantime, so she probably isn't paying to much attention to the ones that caught his attention. But when he seems satisfied with one that he's found, she stops to turn to him.

Looking at his choice with a scrutinizing eye.
]


Not bad. D'you think you'll get it? Or would ya still rather make one yourself?

[...She kinda wants to learn how, if she's honest. But if he really is satisfied, then that's good for him, too.]
tsundyne: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-05 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that's true. Those weren't exactly mutually exclusive choices...

So Yukari nods. And though she does kind of want to ask what his process is, she doesn't right away. She places the latest bow she'd been trying back on its shelf-- since she's still quite satisfied with the one she's been using-- and she turns back to him.
]


True. Maybe there's a shooting range somewhere that we could use.

[She admittedly hasn't practiced as much with the bow here as she did back home.]
tsundyne: (smiling like i mean it)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-07 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Having the free time is a little odd to her, too. But after being here for over a year, she's learned to appreciate it. She chuckles a bit at the suggestion, though-- because that's true, too. There's no reason why they can't.]

Good point.

I think I'd like that, actually... and I'm sure we aren't the only archers in the city.
tsundyne: (ffffffff fffffff)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-09 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She could already tell that they were close by the tone of his voice when he said their names... or at least she'd like to think that she could. But his next statement confirms it anyway. Her chuckle dissolves into a grin as she continues to listen without interrupting him.]

He's good, I take it?

[As well as a good friend.

They probably both were.
]
tsundyne: (Default)

oops 2/2 haha

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[...But then again--]

Or maybe not.

[Maybe he's afraid of the stray arrows Rand would shoot off instead. If he missed...]
tsundyne: (!official: O_o Huh)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-11 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...Huh. Now that's interesting-- Yukari certainly doesn't need magic to shoot, and in fact, that was one of the advantages of using the bow. If her magic ran out, she could resort to that instead, if need be.]

Magic, huh...

Mind if I ask how come?

[From the way he put it, he makes it sound like he's the only one who requires the magic for this. So what makes him so special...?]
tsundyne: (!manga: oh...)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-13 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh.

That's.

Just...wow. Yukari is stunned-- first Mat's eye, and now this. Not quite as jarring as seeing it first hand, of course pun not intended, but nevertheless, it's enough to silence her for a moment as she tries to figure out how to respond. She's having trouble just picturing it, actually. So her best guess is that he uses magic instead of his missing hand.

In her world though, he could conceivably get a prosthetic...

Her mind wanders.
]


That's hard to imagine.

[She looks away from Mat for a moment, staring down at her own left hand. Clenching it into a fist and releasing it again, just...well, to remind herself that she can.]
tsundyne: (!official: what are you doing even)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-14 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not knowing how it happened would've killed her. She's curious even now, and she hasn't even met the guy-- but yeah, she feels like she's prying enough as it is, so she's not exactly going to come forward and ask. She just keeps quiet for now, though when he responds, she turns to look at him.]

Flaming...?

[Not sure why he added that. But she does know what a prophecy is, so...]

Do you mean he knew it was going to happen?
tsundyne: (thinking again)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-16 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

Yeah, that does go over her head, needless to say. Though of course, if someone from the same world couldn't even understand, there's no way Yukari could hope to.

She does take note, though, that he flaming is apparently a swear.
]


I don't get it either. But... I guess if it's important, you guys will figure it out.
tsundyne: (smiling like i mean it)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-17 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Such is the nature of a prophecy, right?

Heh, there is that. Yukari looks kind of sheepish as she nods, since she finds herself unable to argue...but either way, she'll lead him to the cashier so he can pay for his bow.
]


At least you don't have to worry about 'em here, I'd hope.

[......Do they?]
tsundyne: (heh)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-18 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
We all do.

[Doesn't seem strange to Yukari, of course. She doesn't even bat an eyelash as she waits for him, thinking back on all of the things she just learned about him.

His life back home.

She's leaning on the counter, though when he's done, she'll step away from it.
]


Need someone to walk you home with that?

[Eying his bow. Of course she doesn't expect him to say yes, but she decides to be courteous anyway.]
tsundyne: (heh)

[personal profile] tsundyne 2012-08-19 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep, she totally called his answer.

She's got plenty of other places to go anyway, so she'll smile politely and nod to acknowledge it without pushing the issue.
]


Will do.

[And as they're walking they're way out of the store, she lingers for a moment before she starts to break off from him.]

Take care then, okay?
