[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 ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:17:39 UTC

[ asdkasdhak PAPA IS TOTALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO ME. he does as he's told, a little more uncertain now. ]

Like this?

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:21:40 UTC

[He can feel it. Everything he tried so hard to do -- it's more than likely crumbling to pieces right now. Mrrrrr. M-MAYBE SWORDSMANSHIP WILL BEAT THE DEPENDENCY OUT OF HIM? ... s-sob dammit.

---Anyway. He nods, somewhat reluctantly.]

... Yeah, like that.

[He takes a step or two back.]

... Try again.

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:23:03 UTC

[ giving your kid attention is a good thing, yuri. especially when he just runs to his brother for the attention you don't give him.

but! he tries again! oh, this feels much better. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:25:42 UTC

[If he knew that, he probably would've tried something else a long time ago :( But alas.

... Hmm. Yeah, Shuri does seem to be doing a lot better now.]

Yeah, that's ... [Wait, no no, that sounded almost excited.] ... better.

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:28:19 UTC

I always wanted to try. [ he'll take whatever snippets of parental approval he can get. and look, papa! he's not even cutting himself.

but he does stop after a few more swings and gives the sword an uncertain sort of look. ]

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:31:06 UTC

You ... did?

[... Dammit, screw it. Sighing.]

You should've said something earlier-- [...wait, why is he stopping.] ... What?

[ action ] 1/2 acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:34:43 UTC

... You never listened!! [ or carried on a conversation long enough to hear him out! ]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:38:47 UTC

[ no, shuri. don't stick your foot in your mouth! he's paying attention to you and if you can censor yourself around teachers, you can do it with your papa. ]

Nothing. I was just wondering what one you're using in the tournament!

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:43:30 UTC

[... Good job changing the subject there, Shuri. That would've thrown Yuri into another awkward "HOW THE HELL DO I DEAL WITH THIS" situation. So instead, he's just going to swiftly ignore the "you never listened" part, because ... well, he doesn't know how to react to that, really.]

I ... didn't decide yet.

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:48:59 UTC

Oh.

[ examining... examining... we'll, he's actually just thinking about the third party and the people who die/have died when they fight and how swords are weapons and people get hurt. ]

How long have you been using a sword?

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 05:54:12 UTC

[Keep that to yourself unless you want a lecture on how swords save lives, boy.

But at that, Yuri pauses yet again. This whole talking without being outwardly cold thing when it comes to Shuri is ... kind of tough. He's not sure how he feels about it OR about it being somewhat difficult for him now.]

... Probably since I was your age. [Well, actually a little younger than that, but. Close enough!]

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 05:56:56 UTC

Why did you start?

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 06:07:10 UTC

[... That's actually something only Stella and probably his twin knows. Well, mostly because no one ever really asked him, but. Still. It's a little difficult for him to say easily.

... But, this is probably one of the only times he'll be able to have a serious/normal discussion with Shuri without feeling like he needs to rag on him about something. So ... might as well.

After a sigh, and yet another pause--]

I ... didn't like feeling weak. [ ... ] Like I couldn't help anyone. So ... I took up whatever felt easiest. Just so happened to be this.

[ action ] acowardlyoak April 22 2011, 06:18:53 UTC

... [ it's hard to imagine his father being weak. or feeling weak. his father is the strongest person he's ever met. shuri idolizes him and everything he stands for, even if he can't possibly hope to match him.

but if he says something overly sappy, then this moment will fade and... shuri's not good at talking to his father. excitement never is well met, but... ]

I want to be strong like you!

[ action ] once_knighted April 22 2011, 06:29:47 UTC

[... Yuri actually isn't sure how to respond to that. He's caught somewhere between wanting to tell Shuri to tone it down (really, this kid and sounding so damn excited about everything), but for something like that ... uh ...]

Huh? What do you ...?

[... Eloquent, but he really didn't think Shuri would want to be anything like him at all.]
