[Open]

Characters: Judai, Johan, and anyone else who wants to wander by.
Location: The outside training facilities
Rating: PG [Shouldn't be more than that, omfg]
Time: April 17, early afternoon
Description: Judai and Johan are trying to resonate. But Judai's not very good at paying attention. Silliness ensues.

There was only so much working Judai could take before he got tired and bored of it. As it was, he and Johan had been trying to do the resonating thing - whatever it was, Judai still really didn't understand what they were supposed to be doing - since around noon and Judai was starting to feel like he couldn't take it anymore. At the same time, Johan had seemed really excited about doing this, so Judai was having a hard time bringing himself to tell the Scandinavian boy that he wanted to stop.

Instead, he just slumped over after their latest attempt and stared at the ground. "I don't get this, Johan," he said, a soft whine in his voice. "Can you explain it to me again?" He'd probably had Johan explain it to him more than a dozen times. Johan didn't really know any more than Judai did, but he seemed to understand it a lot better than Judai did.

"And can I get something to eat soon? I'm starting to get really hungry." Hunger was a good way to get out of more of this, right? Yes, what a good plan. Honestly, Judai had expected to see a lot more people around. He kept hoping that someone would come to talk to them and distract them from this seemingly pointless exercise...

After a long morning of clearing away more island debris—Lily had to wonder if some mischievous forest folk were replacing all the pebbles and small rocks she had carted away at night, there seemed to be no end to the job!—the park’s gardener was ready to leave for the day.

But on the way out of the park, she noticed the teenagers in the training area, one with teal hair and the other with two-toned brown. As she approached, she vaguely wondered if it was natural, as Yuugi had told her his outlandish hair was.

Morning training had ended hours ago and she seldom saw folks in this part of the park in the afternoons. And one of them was slumped over. Had they been here since this morning?

“Are y’all okay? I don’t see many people still around here this time of day.” There was a twang to her voice when she spoke, a remainder of her Texas upbringing.

Johan sighed softly as he decided that, yeah, maybe it was time for a break. He rubbed the back of his head slightly while giving a small frown - he had really wanted to get the hang of everything as fast as he could, but it seemed like trying to cram all the training he and Judai had been doing in at once wasn't the best plan.

It was at about that time that he noticed that they were being spoken to by a newcomer. "Ahh, yeah! We're fine!" He replied, waving a little bit. "Just, you know... training," he added with a small laugh.

Well, they did look okay now. She'd wondered a bit before the brown-haired one straightened. Looking at them more closely now, Lily guessed they were about a dozen years younger than her.

She nodded. "I see. Have you folks been training since this morning?" That seemed a tad excessive but then she never showed up at morning training herself unless she happened to be tending to the plants in the area. "And my name's Lily, by the way. I work here as the gardener."

Johan glanced over to Judai, giving him a slightly quizzical look before turning back to their visitor.

"Haha, I don't think I could get this guy to work in the morning even if I wanted to." And that wasn't for lack of trying, either. He had given pretty quickly on getting Judai up in the morning for training. This little fact didn't really bother him anymore, and he shrugged it off with a laugh.

"Lily, is it? Nice to meet you," he replied with a grin. "My name's Johan."

Lily chuckled at Judai's face. "You're not a morning person, I reckon. Those people are here pretty early. They're usually already at it by the time I show up to start work." And she nodded to both of them. "Nice to meet you, Johan, Judai."

"You could say that. My grandmother taught me and I've been growing things since I was a little girl back in Texas." There was more to it than that since she brewed and herbs were a crucial component of her magic. But admitting that in a city at war with witches wouldn't have been smart.

"That's pretty cool!" Johan replied enthusiastically. People talking about hobbies they enjoy was always nice to him.

She nodded to Johan. "Gardening can be soothing. Graciela used to tell me, 'The plants must be cared for and they will care for you in return.'" There was a fond smile as Lily recalled her adoptive grandmother.

"Oh? You got on the wrong train?" She glanced at Judai curiously. "Where did you end up going instead?" Lily had traveled a lot but never quite made that mistake!

This was obviously someone who cared very deeply for her hobby, and that was the kind of thing Johan could respect. After all, that kind of thing was sort of a big deal back home, and even if it was a totally different activity, it was still important to put your heart into it!

... Judai's train mishap wasn't too big of a shock for Johan. He imagined it probably happened fairly often, actually. "I'm sure you didn't mind much, though," he added.

She looked to Johan, guessing from the familiarity between the two, "I take it y'all have been friends for a while?" Did they come from the same place?

And there was a raised eyebrow for Judai. "You didn't stay? It sounds like you travel a lot. I used to, too." For years, she had traveled the world, never staying anyplace longer than several months.

"Yep! For... a few years now, I think? Judai's been my best friend ever since we met." Johan's reply was highly enthusiastic. He just really, really likes bragging about his friend.

"That must have been nice." Lily herself had never really had friends until recently. "Friends from school?" she guessed. That seemed the most likely possibility going by their age.

"Oh, all over although I live in San Francisco these days." There was a small frown. "Or I did before that cotton-pickin' BREW contraption interfered. I was in Hong Kong for a while before that and France. Scotland, Jamaica, Switzerland, Thailand, Morocco. Too many places to count."

[OOC: Sorry this is so late! I'm still getting over a cold after coming back from hiatus. We can handwave the rest if the two of you prefer since it's pretty old.]
