Eighth Pattern ; Audio

[hikaruorkaoru]

[Today, the camera isn't turned on. Hikaru isn't about to really let himself be seen with bruises and a split lip. Nothing irreparable, but he doesn't feel like letting anyone see, and he's not putting on make-up just for talking to the journal.]

So. Gotta ask --

Does this place have any video games? Like... something on a handheld system? I don't even care if it should be in a museum, I need something. Been way too long since I played anything.

[It was, strangely, something he found himself missing a lot as the days went by. He'd grown up in a world of fashion... and video games.

His father had even hinted at leaving his company primarily to Hikaru while their mother left hers primarily to Kaoru. Of course, they'd both work both jobs... Hikaru wasn't quite willing to really accept the idea of being apart from Kaoru, even professionally.]

[hikaruorkaoru]

...That's not nearly as cool.

[But... people have mentioned having to fight here. And it might still include a demonstration of this "firebending," which sounds awesome.]

Mind if there's two of us? We're twins, so it's a "both or neither" deal.

[...Probably. He should learn to actually ask Kaoru first, but.]

[tea_lover64]

I have no problem with it. You should probably check with your brother first though.

[He is a good teacher, but he can't grant abilities]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Definitely will. By the way-- we're Hikaru and Kaoru.

[tea_lover64]

So you would be Hikaru?

[Let the games begin?]

[hikaruorkaoru]

I am!

[...No promises he won't decide to switch places with his twin by the time they meet in person. Or multiple times after that.]

[tea_lover64]

I'll keep that in mind. My name is Iroh.

[He inclines his head a little. It would be interesting to see if they had the resolve necessary to do the training]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Nice to meet you.

[He can be polite! When there's something in it for him.]

[tea_lover64]

How do you feel about tea?

[Yeah, he is picking up on the conditional politeness, he is well accustomed to the sort of circles you travel in, Hikaru. ]

[hikaruorkaoru]

We love tea.

[tea_lover64]

[He gives his beard a stroke. Liking tea is certainly brownie points for the twins.]

Good. I shall make sure to brew some. I gained some renown in Ba Sing Se for having the best tea shop in all of the city.

[hikaruorkaoru]

[He can be a brat, but he is an aristocratic brat. He has good taste.]

Great. We'll be looking forward to it.

[tea_lover64]

See you then. Be prepared to work hard.
