RP log with Kyle

Who: [personal profile] trueltning_fury and [profile] queenknightpimp 
When: the evening after the travelers arrive home
Where: the tavern
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.
