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?]

Comments

[Mat smiles.]

I hum songs a lot, I don't mind there being no words.

[Having no words is sometimes better...And he nods.]

Sure. A friend of mine can play instruments and he's here too. I could ask him if he'd like to learn your songs. I know he won't mind playing ours. [Rand would have changed too much if he didn't like playing anymore. The real question would be whether they could find a instrument he could play with just a right hand or if he'd have to use saidin.]

[blessedbyfarore]

Okay! [Link gives Mat a grin.] Then we can go see your friend, and I'll teach you some songs and he can teach me some!

[princeoftheravens]

[Mat's smile falls away. Rand's...]

You'll have to wait to learn them from him. He's...asleep. And has been for too bloody long. We're not sure when he'll flaming wake up.

[Even if it hasn't been that long for a sleep coma - only a bit more than a week - but he doesn't know that it really is common.]

I'll make sure to let him know when he wakes up. [Oh and...] What's your name? [leaving off the 'boy' this time.] I'm Mat.

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... that's not fun. I bet he'll wake up eventually, though, right?

[He gives Mat a hopefully-reassuring smile.] I'm Link. It's nice to meet you!

[princeoftheravens]

I hope so. [Link really reminds him more of a little boy than a teenager...

He tilts his hat a little, smiling.]

And you.

[blessedbyfarore]

[They can start a cool hat club.]

Well - I should let you get back to finding a bow, huh? I'll keep looking out for them, too!

[princeoftheravens]

[Maybe. Mat thinks Link's hat looks a bit silly though...Not that he's really one to talk about silly looking outfits.]

Thanks, Link. I think I'll just make one though.

Oh, and if you want to find me, I'm living with my friends in a big building with a sign that says the "Winespring Inn". It isn't completely done, yet.

[He leans on the spear.]

I'll let you know when Rand wakes up.

[blessedbyfarore]

Okay. I live in the forest, but I'm in the plaza a lot. [He gives him a quick smile at that.] I guess I'll see you around, then!

[If there's nothing more to be said, he'll gather the arrows he's found mid-conversation and be off.]

[princeoftheravens]

[Mat smiles back.]

Yeah, see you around.
