[That is actually meant as a sort of all-call for his family as a whole (cousins, nephews, nieces ... as much as he tried to, he didn't manage to pick up on everyone over the past few days since that shift) as well as friends, but being that he didn't bother filtering it, ( Read more... )

[ 'sup papa? shuri's back from... where ever the hell he just was.

he pokes his head out the door! ] Papa~! Can I have the last bagel?

[ action ] once_knighted April 21 2011, 16:40:07 UTC

[Sharpening, sharpening, sharpening ... pause.

...

... Man, he was saving that for himself :( Ugh, but Stella would probably lineface at him and he really shouldn't do that to his son, no matter how hard he's trying to be cold and tough and such ... guhhhhh.]

... Yeah, whatever.

[Sharpening, sharpening B|]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:27:39 UTC

Thank you~!!

[ GRABBING THE BAGEL. Toasting it! Now he's going to go outside to watch daddy work. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 04:30:27 UTC

[Shuri probably would've seen his father wave off said thanks, buuuut he was probably too busy in bagel toasting land.

But geez, what is with his sons watching him sharpening pointy objects today? Maaaaan. Well, whatever. Even if Yuri has a tendency to ignore/respond coldly or shortly to Shuri, as long as Shuri doesn't just stare quietly, he won't get huffed at.

... Much. Maybe. IF YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, SHURI, THIS MAY BE A GOOD DAY FOR YOU ... maybe.]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:34:13 UTC

[ he's watching you sharpen them, but after a while his attention moves to the swords themselves.

... huh... there's something really beautiful about them. he sort of wants to touch, but, papa would probably yell at him. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 04:39:02 UTC

[Well of course they're beautiful, your papa has good taste. ... In swords, at least.

But! After a few minutes--]

It's a little hard to focus when I've got someone standing around all silent like that, you know.

[Geez, Shuri, you and your brother, really.]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:40:56 UTC

[ because he's never sure if you're going to be nice to him or a jerk. ]

Can I hold one? [ finishing off that bagel because you shouldn't play with a sword with food in your mouth. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 04:44:44 UTC

[He's just trying to keep life exciting for you! ... Or maybe he's still unsure how to act around his sons now that they're not like. Ten.

Whatever the case! That question gets a moment or two of silence before he responds.]

... Fine. Just watch where you touch it. [He did just finish sharpening a few of those, after all.]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:46:51 UTC

[ and Shuri carefully takes the closest one in hand and examines it... hmm... better not let any fingerprints get on it, papa would kill him.

stepping away and... let's take an experimental swing! ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 04:49:20 UTC

[You bet he would.

But ... hrm. He's swinging it?

... ... ... ...

Maybe--

... Hmm. Yuri slows down considerably when it comes to the sharpening he's currently doing. Why? ... Well, because he's trying to watch how Shuri does with the sword he's got in hand.]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:52:16 UTC

[ he... actually looks pretty natural handling it! less clumsy than your average first timer, at least. a couple more practice swings and he's into a more natural stance. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 04:55:36 UTC

[... ... ... ... ...

At this point, Yuri's slowed down to the point of stopping entirely when it comes to sharpening right now. Instead, he's watching Shuri very closely. Form, stance, handling -- and ... oh geez, he actually seems to look kind of natural with it.

... But so did Hei, and he rejected it. Maybe he shouldn't get his hopes up ...]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 04:56:58 UTC

[ -- and then he feels the eyes on him. ]

E-eh? [ stopping. maybe he should put it down... ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:01:49 UTC

[... Oh, he stopped.

...

Now he's kind of lost, hovering somewhere between telling him to continue and making some snide comment about his form. Good job, Shuri, you sort of broke your papa.]

... If you just stop like that, you'll mess up your form.

[That probably sounded somewhere between cold and unsure.]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:04:24 UTC

[ ... was that encouragement? shuri's stunned for a moment. and then he brightens! ]

So, like this? [ he makes an adjustment. there's that... desperation for praise showing itself again. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:14:13 UTC

[... There's a pause on Yuri's end while he tries to decide between potentially messing up what he's been trying on Shuri for years (in terms of getting him to man up and stop being so dependent), and losing a chance at actually having a son who seemed interested in swordsmanship.

...

DAMMIT THIS IS HARD.]

You're making it worse.

[Well, not really, but it's still not right. But ... ugh. Guh. MRRR. Dammit. Shuri, why did you have to be the one to take to it and actually follow through?!

ANOTHER PAUSE ... then he gets up, taking the sword he was working on with him, and walks over to Shuri.]

Straighten up more.
