((ooc: this log is gonna be used for a few practice sessions, as well as a practice game and other such things! Iwaizumi will be sharing his knowledge with everyone and acting as a coach of sorts until the practice game, so feel free to use the TLs to interact with him, or make your own TLs under the sections to start your own threads with your teammates or others participating! also, if you are not a player but want to be in the audience or are playing another role, feel free to make TLs reflecting that! everyone is welcome (walk/ins included!) If you have questions or want to plot, feel free to add me on Plurk at pantheraliam))

[Iwaizumi can’t help but feel a bit of tightness in his chest at the explanation. He doesn’t know Kimihiro that well, but he knows with that explanation that he’s probably been through more than Iwaizumi can well imagine, and that just sits heavily on him for some reason. He takes another sip of his tea, frowning as he does so. What could he even say to that?]

You’re a dedicated guy, Kimihiro.

I guess that’s not a bad thing.

[He still doesn’t think he should spend all his time sitting around one place waiting for something that it looks like won’t come, but who is he to judge, right? He makes a mental note to get him out of the shop every once in a while if it does show up though.]

Thanks for the tea, but you should probably sleep, right? You were pretty passed out back there.

(kimihiro has been through more things than he dares to attempt to explain. from being a time paradox, to having his eye eaten by a spider spirit, he has his fair share of sorrow, confusion and upsetness, all still swimming inside him for the past decades. yuuko is the deepest wound, as one can imagine.

he doesn't know what to say to the compliment, so he just waves a hand. he's nothing much, he reckons.)

I'm fine, Iwaizumi. It happens sometimes, the world mistaking when I should sleep.

(and by now, they can probably hear the little snoring squeaks mugetsu makes. that one is deep asleep.)

He's been less anxious, at least. I guess he came to the conclusion people here don't mean harm.

[bluecastleace]

Yeah, well. I don’t, at least. [He vaguely hopes Kimihiro will believe that.

[He briefly considers not adding what he’s about to, but...at the end of the day, he can’t help himself. Something about this conversation has ignited the impulse to care about Kimihiro, and once that emotion rears its head for Iwaizumi, it becomes hard to ignore.]

Not that I think you’ll accept this, but if you need anything around here, just...let me know, okay?

[He’s grumbling a bit as he says it, but it’s the thought that counts, right?]

[kimihiros]

(kimihiro believes it. he's not a person who fears things that can harm him, much to the contrary, he has a track record of inviting it. either way, he perceives no ill intent from iwaizumi in any way.

he is, however, not one to see the offering well. the older man just shakes his head, taking the last of his tea to his lips.)

If my store shows, I may as well. As it is, don't worry about me.

[bluecastleace]

Yeah, well. [He rolls his eyes a bit. Somehow he figured that offer wouldn’t go over too well.] If the shop shows then, do.

[He takes the last sip of his own tea then and takes a stand, picking his gym bag up from off the ground and hiking it up on his shoulder.]

I gotta get going. And you gotta get to sleep. [He says with a pointed look.] Take a page from Mugetsu’s book. I’ll be seeing you.

[That’s a threat.]

[kimihiros]

(sleep is not what he is about to do, he's about to go perch on that window and smoke a little, but the thought is nice.

he doesn't take it as a threat, only as a warning? what is it with this guy and his doumeki-gotta-protect-you vibes? he hates it, thanks.)

Be careful on your way.

[bluecastleace]

[Yeah, he figures he probably won’t sleep, if only to be difficult and do the opposite of what Iwa tells him to, but whatever. At least he tried.]

I’ll see ya, Kimihiro.

[And with that, he’ll make his exit.]
