[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?]

[He moves back to avoid the ball landing on his head, but he doesn't manage to catch it again and return it to Serph, so back to the ground it goes. It only takes him a few moments to return it to the air again, and he simply practices the previous move Serph had shown him a few times.]

If you are still learning, perhaps we should invite Signless to continue teaching, at some time.

[Hm. Signless had seemed rather subdued, last time he heard from him. It's a little odd, actually. Serph nods, agreeing.]

He will enjoy it.

[But for now, Serph's content to spend the rest of the day playing hacky sack with Gale.]

[And Gale's content to spend it learning how to play. He finally passes the ball back to Serph, not attempting the behind the back pass the way Serph did. He'll work his way to it.]
