[OPEN] Soldier On--

[bufudine]

Who: Serph and YOU
Where: The Park
When: November 14th, afternoon
Style: [brackets] preferred, but I can adjust
Status: WIDE OPEN

[It's been quite some time since Sera's departure, and since then, there have been others -- both Tribe and friends -- who have left Vatheon and not returned. Serph doesn't know if they'll return. Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. In the end, the decision isn't in his hands.

Before, there hadn't been time for these departures to affect him.

Which is why he's in the park, kicking a hacky sack. Signless had taught him the game when he'd noticed Serph watching him, so many months ago. In some ways, this is an imitation of that time; while Serph's content to play on his own, he's more than happy to play with people passing by.

Will you join in?]

[Serph catches the hacky sack on the outside of his foot, juggling it twice before kicking it in an arc so that it falls behind him.]

Signless is also the one who taught me.

[Serph kicks the hacky sack from behind him over to Sola. But he hasn't yet mastered the art of behind his back kicking, so his return goes a little wide.]

[replicatedcourage]

He's good at a lot of- ah!

[He reels to the side in order to be in range to catch the hacky sack, bouncing it off of his chest and knee before juggling it from one boot to the other and lobbing it back in a lazy arc.]

Of stuff. He's really awesome.

[Sola only has the best Trolldad ever.]

[bufudine]

[Serph nods, agreeing. Yes, 'awesome' is a good way to put it. Serph catches the hacky sack. Don't mind him while he hogs it for a while, as he kicks it in loops over his knee.]

What else is he good at?

[While Signless is Tribe, Serph only knows Signless in terms of big picture things. Talks of life. Of family. Of what lies beyond. ...Of buckets......]

[replicatedcourage]

He's good at explaining stuff so it makes sense, and at listening and at making tea and telling stories.

[He watches the hacky sack bounce around idly, waiting for when Serph will pass it back.]

He's really good at taking care of people and making them feel better too.
