30 - [voice] Being responsible...?

[forged_anew]

[Click. A few seconds pass, along with some quiet, awkward throat-clearing]

Hey, everyone. So I guess people probably noticed, but my unc-- uh, Iroh's been taken home.

[paaause. He doesn't sound happy, but he continues in a more businesslike for Zuko tone]

I know he ran the martial arts school, and I figured since he's my uncle and everything, and because I know there were quite a few people who went there, I can take over.

I can't do it right away since I'm kind of in the hospital still but things will resume as usual once I get back. If the other instructors want to continue so classes don't have to be canceled, that'd be really appreciated.

Speaking of which...

Would you guys mind telling me exactly who teaches and who the students are? Uh, this might be more complicated than I thought. Oh, and if anyone new wants to teach or join, that would be good too. Just let me know.



((OOC: Basically, Zuko's taking over Iroh's martial arts school as soon as he's well enough to stand up, the idiot. Please refer to this OOC post for more details and comment both IC and OOC if you would, to help me keep things organized. If anyone wants to join the classes or teach a class, let me (and/or Zuko) know, and we'll set you up with something. Also, things aren't restricted to what's listed. If you have an awesome class you want to teach, that can be arranged. :|b ))

Yeah...

He's better off at home, though. Safer, I mean. I almost feel selfish for missing him.

[forged_anew]

Okay.

[short laugh]

Sure. You're right, Minato. He must be really patient. Especially since you're a hopeless case.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I'm not hopeless! Just almost hopeless!

[forged_anew]

Heh. Well, good luck then.

You'll need it.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

... Ouch! That's cruel, Zuko!

[forged_anew]

[all you get is another little laugh in response. Aww, your idiocy cheered him up. Isn't that sweet?]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[You can hear the smile in Minato's voice. Hearing Zuko being able to laugh makes him very, very happy.]

I'll just make sure to test stuff on myself before I give them to everyone else. That should be motivation enough for me to improve!

[forged_anew]

That sounds like a plan. Unless of course your taste buds are as broken as your cooking skills.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

... Let's hope not! [And then, Minato sounds toughtful.] But it woudl explain some things, wouldn't it?

[forged_anew]

...probably.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Minato laughs.]

I'll talk to you later, then? And I'll tell you if I survive my cooking...

[forged_anew]

Heh. Don't die, dummy.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Hey, dummy?! [Minato laughs, though.] Don't plan on it!

[forged_anew]

Yes. And good.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Just get some rest, kiddo. You can make fun of my cooking later.

[forged_anew]

Kid--? Hmph.

[But he's still sounds cheerful beneath the grumpiness.]

place holder for when school stops being mean ;_;

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm not sure exactly what kind of instructors you're looking for, but I'd be happy to teach some kind of martial arts class.

[embracethewaves.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess that's true. It's not that selfish...I think everyone feels that way sometimes.

[forged_anew]

I felt that way when my girlfriend was taken back too. Wonder when it'll be my turn...

[sigh]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Hang in there, all right? [...] Iroh-sensei... He never really seemed like the kind of teacher who would let one of his students get away with feeling down over him. ... I bet it means that much more when you're family.

No problem. But I think Jackie is the one who deserves the thanks more than me. I just decided to come along.

That's not bad. Get well soon, all right?

[forged_anew]

He'd probably say some dumb proverb about it or something, then offer me some tea. He thinks tea fixes everything.

Thanks anyway though.

That's the plan.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Minato laughs lightly. He can tell it's mostly for show.]

Just get some rest.

Oh, that is kind of strange. I had started learning English in school at home. But I didn't know nearly enough to understand what people were saying here.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

You're taking over the martial arts classes when you're out?

[geassreceived.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in joining, when I'm recovered, myself.

The open sparring sounds useful, and I wouldn't mind a sword class or two. I know kendo and Britannian arming sword form.
