Star 011

[Isaac once again has a new toy. And new skills to match. And he is once again putting himself to work on abusing the poor log he brought in not long ago. He uses Force to knock it over then, mid-fall, another Psynergy, leaving the log suspended where it was, then Lift to right it again.

As he works there is a sort of sadness that hangs over him, though he's looking damn determined not to let it show.]

Isaac? You alright?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Hi Toph. I'm fine.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...You're lying.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I guess I am. I'm worried.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Mum's sick, that's all. [Well, no, it's not, but shhhhhhhhhh]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Totally knows that's not all of it. Still,] She is...? How bad is it?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

The innkeeper goes in and out to take care of her...but she got out of bed to talk to me...

She didn't look good. I wish I could stay and look after her.

...But you gotta keep on moving, huh? Saving the world and all.

[Felix is a masochist. So he'll be over here, despising himself for his own weakness.]

[EXACTLY who he wants to see. The next blast of Force is SLIGHTLY harder than he means it to be. By which I mean he breaks the log. Oops.]

[Looks away] Your temper does you a disservice.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice.

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

Then your lack of self-awareness hinders you as well.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Did Saturos teach you how to be clever, too?

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[For a moment he looks like he's been struck, and then he just looks away--though he manages to make the move look scornful.]

[Just...sort of watching, head cocked a bit to one side.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh...Hello.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

I think it might be dead.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

It's just a log.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

I'd noticed, actually.

What on Earth are you doing to it?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Practicing my psynergy.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Right. [because this explains so much! :|]

I could swear I've seen you before. Talking to Henrietta, perhaps?

[Blinks, trying to remember] Something about candy? I think?
