Besides a few guys I talked to outside the base, not anyone, really. You're all great, don't get me wrong, but... [He drops his arm to his side.] I did have someone I liked back home, but he was already taken. I don't want to take that risk again.
no subject
Sorry. Didn't mean to dredge up bad memories. [ Bad experiences? Either way. He glances over at the rest of the crowd, still partying. ] It's pretty hard to tell unless you ask directly, huh, but that might come off as awkward in its own way.
[ Romance truly is so difficult. ]
no subject
[Romance. So great when it works out, but it makes Taryon want to crawl into a hole when it doesn't.]
One solution would be to make myself look available and wait for someone to approach me, but...I really don't want to come off as desperate...
so sorry for the delay, i was traveling
Wriothesley doesn't want to laugh and come off as potentially mocking, so instead he settles for patting Taryon lightly on the back. ]
That doesn't sound like desperation at all to me. Isn't that a tactic plenty of people use? [ He's only guessing here; trying to date when he only goes out once a month is rough. ] But if you're that worried, I've heard that there are places called 'singles bars' where everyone present is, well, single and looking for the same thing.
[ 'Heard' meaning he's seen so many ads pop up on his oculars. ]
No problem, I've been slow, too
[One problem with having a sheltered childhood and preferring to stay indoors and read as a youth is that Taryon doesn't have a decent idea of how real life people work. Wriothesley makes some sense, but Tary has his doubts.] I feel like I've met more aggressive people in my life, and most of my friends are very forward with their partners. I'm pretty sure they were like that when they were single.
[Although the idea of a singles bars piques his interests. Taryon brightens at the suggestion.]
Really? Are there any near the base? [He's never seen such a sign. Only regular bars, where typical tactics must be used.]
no subject
A few, it looks like. Should we go check them out once we're back from this mission?
no subject
I'd be up for it. It wouldn't hurt to try. [He lifts his axe - the person next to him has left their stall, freeing up the space.] Are you still interested? Even with...whoever you have your eye on?
no subject
Of course I am. Even if I'm not looking for myself, I'd still go to support you. We are friends, aren't we?
[ And friends will brave the awkwardness of singles bars with friends if they must. He follows Taryon towards the now open axe-throwing lane, though he doesn't heft his own axe just yet. ]
It's Ishmael, by the way.
[ The person he's interested in. ]
no subject
[He hasn't spent much time with her, but he has seen how strong and ruthless she can be in battle. Some people are into that, and he can't judge his friend.]
I can see it. [A nod - an approval from Taryon.] I'll keep that a secret.
[He walks a few steps backward until he's in line with the target. After a few test swings, he throws his hand axe, which embeds itself close to the bullseye.]
Hah! I'm pretty good!
no subject
I know I've said it before, but you really are a good friend.
[ And those have always been hard to come by for him, no matter what anyone says. He watches Taryon throw his axe, letting out a low whistle when it nearly lands on the bullseye. ]
Wow. Wouldn't wanna get on your bad side while you've got an axe in your hands. [ And now it's his turn, which means he's hefting the axe in his hand and sizing up the target and then throwing—only to watch as his axe barely makes the target and embeds itself into the outermost ring. ] Meanwhile, I don't think you have anything to fear.
no subject
At the compliment, he turns to Wriothesley and bows.] I have undergone a lot of training in the past year. This is nothing.
[A few months of axe throwing at taverns with Grog, and he's lucky enough to get more hits than misses.]
Well, I would want to be standing anywhere in front of you no matter what weapon you have. [He walks into the target cage and grips the axe handle to rock it back and forth until the head is yanked off the wood.] Actially, anyone with an axe wo7pd be pretty terrifying.
no subject
[ He says it with a huff of laughter as he follows behind to pry his own axe out of the wooden target. ]
Still, it'd be nice to hold my own with this thing. Got any tips on how to improve my aim?
I keep rolling well on axe throwing oops
Like this. [He returns to the end of the target range, lifts his axe, takes a moment to adjust his arm, then throws it again. This time, it also buries itself close to the center.]
taryon deserves this
[ He murmurs the words to himself, trying to mimic Taryon's motions with his own hand. There's another low whistle as Taryon's throw once again hits true. Clearly the man knows what he's talking about.
Well, looks like he's up again. Wriothesley repeats what he's been told, doing his best to keep his hand steady and his wrist limber. One, two...and then he's throwing again. Better this time, as his axe inches a bit closer to center. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Which is probably easier said than done given their location. Maybe when they get back to base he can consider getting an upgrade....
Though Taryon certainly does bring up a good point. ]
I should start looking into using something other than my fists though. Can't exactly punch through everything we fight, now can I?
no subject
no subject
A gun? [ He's never envisioned himself using a gun before. ] Aren't they notoriously hard to aim?
[ Though if the kaiju are as big as they are... ]
no subject
[He holds out a hand to show a ring on his middle finger. There's a metal insignia shaped like a ram crafted onto it.] I brought this from home just for situations like this.
no subject
He peers at the ring, clearly curious. ]
What's it do? Other than make you look very fashionable.
no subject
He pulls the ringed hand away and tucks it into his pocket.] It fires magical blasts. Don't worry, it takes effort to activate it. I won't break anything in here.
no subject
You must be pretty good at aiming then, between the axe and this ring. Looks like I'll be learning from you from here on out.
