[Toph's commandeered a booth and has her bum ankle propped up next to her.

Come pester?]

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[He is there beside her, attempting to make himself even smaller than he is, and coiling his tail about himself... and her, to a small degree.]

Do you like the party so far, Toph?

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for someone to get drunk so I can laugh at them, but yeah. It's pretty cool.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he's seen his own share of drunken people.]

Mm, I think I would have to admit, humans really do look odd and do things they would normally not do while inebriated.

That aside, I am glad you are enjoying yourself. A new year is upon us, and while the game did not go as planned, at least we are celebrating in an auspicious manner.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

How did we lose?

[She's still sore about that]

We had a dragon!

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[That was not a memory he wanted to recall either. He also disliked losing.]

They also had Zone leader Rhapsodos who can also fly. That is one good reason I can think of.

I did not think he could do that; he really does seem to be a man full of surprises.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

[Toph just grumbles for a second before shrugging]

We'll win next time, don't worry.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

We definitely will. No matter what, we shall be victorious.

[Because, it just would not do if they were on a losing streak as far as those games went.]

Then again, that shall be for another day. Soon, I hope.

[He pauses for a moment, because if they continue speaking on this subject, he is sure that they would both continue to be sore and that just would not do for such a night.]

Toph... I was wondering -- what do you hope will come in this new year?

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

The end of the war. I don't even want it to end so I can go home. I just want it over.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a nod, and eventually even comes to nudge her a little with his snout.]

While I am not one to shy away from battles, it would be nice to finally live someplace where war is not something I would have to worry about.

The only time I have been in a land that is in peace is when I went to China, and even then that was only for several weeks at the most.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

We had just won a hundred year war back home when I got brought here. [She's a little blue] This sucks.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[nudge nuuuudge]

So we are both a product of war, it seems.

It might "suck" as you have put it, but we are not the only ones in this predicament, so it sucks for everyone. All we can do is bear what we can and help.

It just would be nice to have longer moments of respite like this than have to deal with all these madness wavelengths and random witch attacks.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

[Nudge back]

Any idea what Mushu's doing?

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

Mm, now that you mention it, I really do not know what he is doing at all.

Then again, I think he would prefer to stay at home. Not like he would like many people to know whom he is, after all.

Perhaps we can have some tea after we get home and hear the fireworks go off at midnight?

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

Tea'd be great. Oh, and plums. Too bad they're out of season.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

Plums... I do not know much about them, or how they would taste in particular, but the Emperor seemed to like them when I was in China.

[Pause]

Perhaps when they are in season, we might buy ourselves some with the capital we have due to our work in the Watch, and taste them. Yes, I think that should workout splendidly.

Oh, then how about some roasted nuts? They seem to be a seasonal favourite this time of year, from what I remember.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

Sure! Think we could get Mushu to roast 'em? [She snickers]

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[Oh, poor Mushu. As a fellow dragon, he feels it a bit... hold on a minute.]

Wait, you mean to tell me that he is able to breathe fire?

[Because that... is the first he's ever heard of it.]

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

I dunno, but that's what dragons are supposed to do. It was a joke, Tem.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

Oh, but it would be quite grand, and a wonder, if he were able to do so!

He could come in quite useful, especially if he could do that. Though not all dragons breathe fire. Just certain ones.

As for the joke, that one is quite clever indeed.

[Yeah, it went over his head for a moment, and is trying to recover with that last sentence.]

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

You totally didn't get the joke, did you?

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

Oh, s-surely....

[No.... admit it.]

I did not. Not at first, anyhow. I was rather taken aback at what I thought would have been the news that he is indeed a firebreather.

He could safely roast them in the kitchen, and since the nuts are so small, then he would not have much of a problem if he did them individually, correct?

[That seems like it would be joke-worthy.]

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

[Toph giggles a little]

Leave the humor to me and Mushu, Tem.

[shendefeng.livejournal.com]

[Oh, goodness, this leaves him feeling rather abashed, and hides his head under his wing.]

I can be clever as well...! But I will gladly concede to your point, and leave that to Mushu and yourself.

[terra-inflexus.livejournal.com]

If we run into any idiots, I'll let you at 'em.
