[If you're passing by the Seventh Heaven after school today, you will see that once Katara has obtained her hot chocolate and window seat, she's busy flipping through her journal. At a certain point, she'll flip back and forth repeatedly with a poleaxed expression that finally fades into something pensive ( Read more... )

[A late-night stroll is just what is needed, yes. Asbel was walking through town, when he noticed the dance-like movements of Katara. It wasn't exactly something he thought he'd encounter, but... they are quite entrancing to watch.

So don't mind Asbel as he observes you practicing, Katara.]

[She can't mind what she's oblivious to! So she'll continue to practice for a bit. She's almost got this new form down! She can't wait to start working on integrating the styles. But now it's time to take another look at the scroll - will she see him on the way?]

[Oh, look at that, she's stopping for the moment. Maybe now would be a good time to approach her. He walks over to her.]

Ah, excuse me... [He briefly pauses to adjust the scarf around her neck, which may look familiar to her.] What exactly were you doing there?

[Action] markofthebrave February 9 2011, 20:40:10 UTC

[That scarf does look familiar, and her eyes catch on it for a moment before she meets his gaze.] Hmm? Oh! I was just practicing a new form.

It seems like a natural feeling to me. Time is always flowing, and we can't always keep up with it, or keep track of it, even with calendars and daily routines. Or perhaps it's because of those that we don't think so much about it, until we're aware of certain dates, and then have to take that step back to wonder, perhaps, and reassess ourselves.

Time is always going to feel differently depending on what you do with it, what you've done, even if it's still being measured the same way. At least... that is how it seems to me.

[Voice] markofthebrave February 9 2011, 18:02:17 UTC

[That still takes a minute, but it's so much easier to understand than Ianto.]

...that makes a lot of sense, Raine.

[Voice] wise_maiden February 10 2011, 15:53:39 UTC

Did something in particular bring up that line of thought? [She can make a few guesses, but she doesn't want to make an assumption.]

[Voice] markofthebrave February 11 2011, 00:28:56 UTC

Oh. Um... well, I was looking through my journal and - it's a year today.

The three and a half months I've been here have pretty much felt like three and a half months.

Why're you asking?

[Voice] markofthebrave February 9 2011, 18:00:56 UTC

Because the longer I've been here, the faster time seems to go.

[And because it's been a year today.]

[Voice] sonatas_edge February 11 2011, 14:29:46 UTC

How long is that?

[Voice] markofthebrave February 12 2011, 04:52:56 UTC

A year today.

[He could comment on the time thing, but he doesn't feel like it. It's something he'd rather think about himself instead of discussing with others.

On the other hand, there is something that needs to be mentioned. It's been a while, but he can't ignore what she'd done for him and his brother.]

I think I forgot to thank you when I was a kid.

[Well, hello there. There's a voice she hasn't heard in a... really long time. Katara'd just about completely written you off, Caesar.

...and she's not quite sure how she feels about this at all, despite dropping a trolling Christmas present for him with Raine. Still, he hadn't even spoken to her after the last draft, and now this?

...why?]

[voice | filtered] markofthebrave February 9 2011, 23:56:41 UTC

So you're saying thank you now?

[voice | filtered] mydearapple February 10 2011, 02:28:10 UTC

Better than during some kind of experiment, don't you think? [Which was the reason he didn't say anything sooner, because whenever he'd had the chance, things were far too hectic to bother. It was a good choice, too-he learned recently that it didn't matter how honest he was if an experiment was going on at the time.] We still got sick. But you were a lot of help, so thank you.

I never really notice how much time is going by until I look back later. It always seems like things are going slow right now and just used to be faster. [ Long as he's got friends and things to look out for, he's willing to accept it. ]

[ voice ] markofthebrave February 10 2011, 00:03:42 UTC

You think so? The days feel the same, about, as days in my village at home, even though there's less work and more people. It's just looking back on the whole time that makes me feel like... things have gone by really fast.

[ voice ] savethelastchip February 12 2011, 04:10:56 UTC

That's usually how I feel about things back at home. A lot can happen without realizing it.

Is Luceti at all like your home?
