[OPEN] You tell me of our future that you planned...
Characters: Bakura & OPEN
Date: February catch-all log
Location: Various around Khatronma for the first half of the month, then Keeliai and outside the city.
Situation: Assorted run ins. Open starters in the log, closed starters in the comments. Or add your own!
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings if needed in subject headers.
A. KHATRONMA DOCKS, LANDFALL, EVIDET
He's spent almost the entire visit to the continent in Khatronma, having not realized he was desperate to get away from Keeliai for a while until he was actually way from it. Once he was, the air seemed less heavy around him, and he began taking interest in the things he saw. The massive shipyards were fascinating, and the temperature controlled dome let him spend hours walking up and down the berths to examine them.
At the moment, he's stopped his wandering in favour of sitting on the edge of a personal boat shed, the door propped open and an older Bresilykian man inside, working on the overturned hull of a sailboat, or something like it. The Evidet native is keeping up a steady chatter of conversation, and seems to be mid-story about a sailing race that his parents met during.
For the sentimental content, Bakura doesn't even look like he minds. He's even listening, at least well enough to interject with observations and questions during pauses, but he's not carrying the prickly aura he normally projects.
B. WATER SECTOR, KEELIAI
back in Keeliai however, the weather was still bitterly cold. Unfortunately, he still had to go out in order to buy food and necessities, and the hassle of walking all over to find kedan who were willing to sell to Foreigners without ripping them off left him distinctly frozen. He would have been glad to return back to his accommodations had he not been stopped on the street by a crowd of kedan partly blocking the street that ran alongside the canal. They were pulling on skates and venturing out tentatively onto the frozen waterway, and one of them offers a pair of rudimentary skates to the thief.
"No," Bakura said, shaking his head. "Not interested. I don't know how, anyway."
C. JADE SCHOOL OF KUNG FU DOJO, WOOD SECTOR, KEELIAI
Bakura hadn't been here in almost a year (almost two years, if one counted the year that had passed in the Dreaming, and while he was away) and he'd only stopped because he'd been passing by while on his way to something else. But the something else wasn't pressing, and the dojo looked once again abandoned, and so he'd let himself past the low gate and onto the property. He wasn't sure what he expected to happen -- no angry elements came crashing down on his head -- and he touched the clean metal lock on the door.
Ryou must have put that on there. He knew that the dojo had been deeded to the teen when Korra had left the turtle. Now, with Ryou gone as well, it seemed as though it would slip back into disuse.
The lock takes only a moment to pick, and he leaves the door open to step inside. It's immediately obvious that efforts were already made to clean it, but that they hadn't gone very far. Bakura takes a quick tour around the building, making mental notes about what he finds, until he ends up back outside of the dojo's front entrance, staring up at the building with a contemplative frown.
"Hmm..."

no subject
"I don't think I've asked for this kind of advice before." Then again, it is a pretty unusual sort of advice. It probably doesn't get asked for a whole lot, by anyone. "But thanks for giving it. I know it was kind of out of nowhere."
no subject
"I'd hope this not a frequent thing you run into," he agreed. "And it's fine. What are you going to do with Gene now?"
no subject
Let's stay focused on this particular betrayal of trust, though. "I don't know," Tony sighs. "I can give him another chance, or... I can leave him. For good." Those are the only two options, at the end of the day. And now that he's said it out loud, he really doesn't like the sound of the latter.
"I don't want to hurt him," Tony finishes, very quietly.
no subject
He waits a moment, as if letting Tony wrap his mind around both options. It doesn't seem like an especially hard choice, from the outside looking in.
"That's not something anyone's ever learned to avoid," he replied. "And I've been around long enough to know no one never will. Anyone can have the sheer dumb luck to avoid problems. Fixing them... that's the gamble. That's the game worth playing."
no subject
There's a lot of 'dumb' and a lot of 'luck' in his life, but they're usually 'dumb choices' and 'bad luck.'"And half the time, trying to fix them only makes them worse." He chuckles, though, again, there isn't much humor in it."But I guess you're right. Taking the gamble is better than not trying at all." An approach he's always believed in when it comes to science. Maybe it's not a bad idea to apply it to his relationship, too.
no subject
"Glad you seem to have figured it out," he answered wryly.
no subject
That's how the saying goes, right?
