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 ))

Oh. Eh, he taught--teaches me Japanese. Kind of. Not that I've been to more than a handful of classes.

Well, I already speak Japanese. So I've been trying to learn English instead.

Oh, okay.

I hadn't even heard of Japanese before I came here. Or English for that matter, but apparently I speak it.

[Don't ask. Avatarverse is retarded :| ]

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.

Seems like you've gotten pretty far though, since you could apparently at least understand I was making an announcement about the gym.

I've been going to the classes for five months now, so I've gotten a lot better. I can usually pick out enough words now to tell what people are talking about. Unless they use words i haven't studied.

I'm still not very good at speaking it, though.

That makes sense.

It usually takes longer to learn how to speak a foreign language than to be able to understand some of it.
