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 ))

I'm sorry he's gone, though. I'm gonna miss him a lot, and I know I'm not the only one.

[forged_anew]

Yeah...

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

[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]

It happened to a friend of mine, too. ...A friend from home, I mean. Hey, it wouldn't be the first time this place sent you home, y'know.

[forged_anew]

I see...

Yeah, everyone keeps telling me that but, even after months of being here, I still find that just... really weird. And not remembering what I did at all...

[embracethewaves.livejournal.com]

No kidding...seems like it'd be weird, once I think about it. Sorry.
