[Open]

Characters: Dinah Lance and OPEN
Date: July, all after Clueventure
Location: Wood Sector, and wherever you need her.
Situation: There are ideas and commitments that Dinah started before being distracted by detective work. Now she intends to follow up on them.
Warnings/Rating: Blood, wounds in the Arthur thread.
I started with prose, but will switch to action if you'd like.

General Starter: She found it in the wood sector, a courtyard formed by four trees growing from each corner, growing and intertwining together above, walled by hedges that have been growing out since the last master left. As soon as she had a spare morning and the presence of mind to do so, it is here Dinah returns.

She keeps the name and cleans first the sign painted so neatly in Chinese: “The Jade School of Kung Fu, overseen by Grand Master Shifu.” She doesn't know what happened to the Grand Master, but a dojo cannot be left unused, and she plans to honor this Master she never met by returning his space to the use it was intended.

She sent messages to the people she knew were interested in training with her, to let them know where they could be found, then she set about trimming the hedges, sweeping the building and the courtyard, and transforming it into a usable dojo again.

The faintest trace of a smile crosses Tim's face. "That may have been a little ill-advised."

It's starting to become an effort for him to keep the smile out of his voice, actually. "Maybe. Just a little."

But again, is he sorry? Not on your life.

Damn right they don't.

He makes a show of considering her words. "I believe it's still acceptable to use the phrase 'kicking ass,' though some of the kids these days seem to enjoy the use of terms like 'schooling' and 'wasting.'"

Pause.

"Okay, actually, I really have no idea what kids these days are saying. I'm not really up on current youthful vernacular."

What's wrong with 'schooled,' Dinah? All the cool kids are saying it.

Maybe.

"I'll try not to, but you know how our egos can be."

Nah. You're never old.

He snickers at that. "Well. Maybe."
