notabluesbro | 13th Confession [Action/voice]

[Of course, Vash wasn't the only kid Legato ran into. The ass confused the hell out of him, but moreover, he wondered if he really was going to be 'trained' by someone. Trained to fight, right? And he said he'd be skillful, too... But right now? He called him useless. Incapable. Just some stray dog.

"If you think yourself capable, that is something you must prove."

Nicholas wanders into town and takes a seat at a bench, with journal in hand. Considers using it—even if it is confusing, and even if he's not the kind to spark up conversation. Instead he simmers a little, brow furrowed, reaching down and shaping snowballs before throwing them at the nearest building ~~totally sorry if he doesn't see you coming around the corner or something~~. For some reason, he feels like he's done this before. Something about the whiteness of all this is familiar, but... ah, well. He's too busy trying to decipher what that blue haired guy told him.

He was worth something. Wasn't he? Or was what every said true...]

[Voice]

How do y'prove you're worth something...?

[After that, he decides to go back into the forest and try to talk with that Eferin guy. Things weren't as bad as last time; he even got to actually speak to him, without any running or cursing. Even if it meant sucking up to the bastard, just a little. He's in the forest, sitting on the gnarled roots of a tree, lighting and putting out the end of a thin twig. It takes all of his concentration, but it's worth it. His pants leg has a hole burned into it, but whatever burn mark was under it has been wrapped up by a ripped shirt.]

[Holding this snowball defensively now, kthnx]

That depends on what you're doin' with that snow next t'you.

[Griiin.]

Who, me? Nothing much. Just...

This.

[And that would be when she throws the snow at you. It will miss - quite deliberately - and she quickly rolls out of the way of the incoming (she assumes) snowball and to her feet.]

[Give him a second, he's letting out a boyish cry of surprise before ducking behind the nearest tree while throwing his own snowball.]

Hey, no fair! You're better with snow than me!

[But even as he says this, he's already scooping up more with his hands.]

So get better.

[She's moving as she speaks, coming around that tree with another snowball.]

You!!

[Gack, no!! Scrambling and throwing snow blindly behind him as he goes for another tree.]

[She laughs and dodges that, throwing this snowball again deliberately wide - just barely.]

You've got to aim before you throw if you want it to hit!

[sdsdkfjlkj Okay! Aim! Aiming!

And heeeere's the pitch!!]

[Ha-ha, much better! She's just a bit too slow in getting out of the way - intentionally so, but it's a kid, not a battle, and she can't help it - and that clips her in the shoulder.]

OH! Much better. Now try dodging this!

[And you'd better duck, boyo - that one's headed straight towards your chest.]

[HA, it didn't hit my chest!

It hit my face. |D]

Ack!!

[RETREAT, RETREAT. Getting behind a tree and trying to wiggle all this snow off.]

[Pffff.

All right, Katara will start a ten count, and in the meantime begin to reload. One snowball. Two... If she makes it to three uninterrupted, she's going to go after you.]

[You can go ahead and go look around that tree. Go ahead. >:^(

BECAUSE I AM SO READY.]

[Meanwhile, Katara - she is disappoint. She expected better and so only takes her two snowballs with her, one in her hand, as she approaches the tree and... plasters herself against it.

She'll just be edging around the base of the tree, having NO idea what she is about to be confronted with...]

[AHA. That tree limb above you has a really nice amount of snow on it, and when Wolfwood stands on said tree limb and jumps like so—]

[Gah! That was unexpected, and it is unfortunate pure instinct that has her raising a hand to stop the snow midair before she-]

[-laughs. And drops her hand, taking the snow like a pro.

Then she's rapidly shaking her head to clear her vision, stepping back away from a tree and aiming a snowball hard at Nick's chest.]

[Direct hit! And, uh, Nicholas drops right outta that tree after a moment of fighting for balance, landing right on his butt in the snow.]

Eck!

[And a little of the leftover snow on the limb falls in a nice pile on top of his head.]

[~~We're sorry, were you looking for sympathy here? Try again on Tuesday.~~ Katara bursts out laughing again and leans down, tossing her snowball over her shoulder to offer Nick a hand.]

You need to pick your spots for ambush more carefully.

[Bah, Nicholas never gets any sympathy! :(

He's gonna lock himself in his room and listen to The Used now, thanks!]

But there wasn't no time for somethin' like that...

[Taking that hand now.]

...Right?

Maybe not. [She'll allow that as she helps hoist him up.] So if you find you're in the open after attacking, should you just keep standing there waiting for someone to attack back?

N-no, you'd run somewhere safer to be at! If y'don't, you'd get killed pretty quick into something.

Right - it's always harder to hit a moving target. [She drops her hand and smiles engagingly at him.] So in the meantime, let's check you for damage. That was a pretty hard fall.

[Bwahahaha, and you thought she'd forgotten about those burns.]

[D'oh! He looks away nervously.]

I didn't get hurt...

[Uh-huh.] Why don't you let me be the judge of that? Genuine waterbending healer here, remember? I'll just use the water to make sure everything is as it should be. It won't hurt, if that's what you're worried about.

[But she's not going to move towards him until she can get him to let her.]

[W-well... He finally rests, sighing.]

...All right. Since you're a healer... n'stuff...
