What: Kyle and Geddoe catch up over a drink
Kyle: *with hair down and tied back at his neck, which is normal for him by now, he walks a little unsteadily into the tavern* Damn. I feel like I'm still rocking.
Geddoe: *just got there himself* Hey, Kyle. Heh...you look like you're still on the ship.
Kyle: I feel like I'm still there. Guess it takes a bit to get my land legs back. *sits carefully at a table* So...you're buyin' right?
Geddoe: Shameless. You're shameless. But what the hell, I have potch to burn. What do you want?
Kyle: Something that won't knock me on my ass in one drink? I'm keeping it to two drinks tonight.
Geddoe: All right. *orders two of the house beers from the bar and brings them over* There, that shouldn't shock you too badly.
Kyle: Good call. *drinks slowly* So you been bored off your ass here or what, old man?
Geddoe: Pretty much. Things got real quiet while you were away...I've sparred with a few people to keep sharp, but other than that, I've just been slouching about.
Kyle: Better to slouch around than have another war here.
Geddoe: True, true. But I'm only a month into my leave and already this bored...I have five more months to go. *takes a drink* I'd better find something to actually do.
Kyle: Awww, bein' a domestic old man not yer thing? *laughs*
Geddoe: I'm not cut out for retirement, no. *smirk* Though, having a home to come back to and someone to meet me isn't bad.
Kyle: Hey, that's true...wait, what? *finishes drinking number one* You're all...like together?
Geddoe: Not like. We are together. Sigurd moved into my room with me...well, actually, that had to have been before you left. It was at least two months ago, if I remember.
Kyle: *surprised, to say the least* Uh...*scratches his head* ....congratulations? *not sure what you're supposed to say in a situation like this*
Geddoe: *laughs into his drink* There's no need, it's nothing that big. We didn't exactly stand on the rooftop and crow about it, we've been keeping mostly to ourselves.
Kyle: *smiles a little bit* This mean you're not going to be a grumpy old man no more?
Geddoe: Well, I have been in a much better mood lately. *scratches his chin* As long as no one pisses me off, I guess. Now, your turn. How was the trip?
Kyle: I think all the warm air and water did a bunch of good for me. I feel physically a lot better.
Geddoe: You look as strong as ever - you're carrying yourself well. Land legs notwithstanding.
Kyle: Yeah, I didn't realize how much that messes you up! Been working on my balance with my polearm. I guess it'd be called either a naginata or a glaive around here.
Geddoe: *eyebrow raise* Really? That's what you picked up? Not bad. There was a young girl who fought with us in the last war who used a naginata...pretty impressive.
Kyle: I used to be pretty good at it and it's coming back to me. Once I feel like I got it together, we can have our little combat session.
Geddoe: *wry smile* Oh, good. I was hoping you hadn't forgotten. I'm eager to prove myself, and I want to see if you've healed enough, too.
Kyle: Nah, haven't forgotten, old man. *drinks his second beer slowly*
Geddoe: Good. *smirks and drinks* Anything interesting happen on your trip? Places to see, people to meet...
Kyle: I tried to keep a low profile while in my hometown. We thought even though it'd been a while since I lived there, there might still be people who would know me. But I poked a bit here and there. I didn't realize how much of a pain in the ass it was to get there, though.
Geddoe: It's not along the coast, or anything? What was it called...Lelcar, you said?
Kyle: Yeah. It's way along the inside of the Feitas. It's actually an island totally surrounded by the river.
Geddoe: Interesting. Did you... *more seriously* ...do what you needed to do, there?
Kyle: *pausing in taking a drink* ...like what?
Geddoe: I could have sworn I heard you muttering something to Bernadette about roses, before you left.
Kyle: *he takes a long drink and his eyes become very guarded* Oh that? Yeah. I took care of that. *but not all the thinking that came along with it* Just something I had to do while I was there.
Geddoe: *nods slowly* I think I can understand. I've a few loose ends that feel like they need tying, myself. But. Sounds like you accomplished quite a bit.
Kyle: *and opened a serious issue he doesn't know how to solve just yet* I guess I did. Got to see a lot of the islands and my home and feel better. I think I might always have a bit of issue with my lungs though.
Geddoe: Still haven't gotten your stamina back? Maybe you just haven't been tested, yet. Sigurd told me I ought to swim, to get stronger without wearing myself out.
Kyle: Not sure yet. But you have a point. Maybe once we spar, it'll give my lungs a good workout.
Geddoe: I've been doing the same thing. Sparring until I'm completely out of breath. *takes another drink and snorts* ...not including the time Watari flipped me onto my back and knocked the wind out of me.
Kyle: The ninja cook guy?
Geddoe: Yes, him. He takes his fights pretty seriously.
Kyle: Well, he's a flippin' ninja. They usually do. *laugh*
Geddoe: Well, now you guys are back. I have my choice of quality swordmen to fight, if they're not all addled by all that time off.
Kyle: Ah, we'll get around to it once we get ourselves together, Captain. Here's to things going up from here, eh? *raises his half empty mug for a toast*
Geddoe: *clanks his tankard against Kyle's* To things getting even better.
Geddoe: *just got there himself* Hey, Kyle. Heh...you look like you're still on the ship.
