amber ☆ 01

[ The man looking down into the amber appears confident, at a glance. Certainly, he's friendly, and he offers a grin. ]

So here's what I'm thinkin'.

We got threats here, don't we? Giant spiders, that sort of thing. Or average-sized spiders, but they're giant to us, that's for sure. There's probably more crap where that came from.

But now we're trying to get weapons for everybody. Ways for us all to defend ourselves.

[ He gestures at the golden image before him. ]

I got an offer for all of you. If you need help defending yourselves, I'll--I'll try and teach you.

But I might need a little help setting up a gym for it. Anyone got any ideas how we can go about that?

[ A beat. He hesitates, then says: ]

I'm Bucky, by the way. Nice to meet you all, even if it's not under the greatest of circumstances.

[ He blinks at her formality, suddenly a bit awkward. ]

Uh, I don't know if I can promise it as a full-time position. But I can do a bit to help, at least.

I was thinkin' outdoors is the best place to try.

Do not worry about that, there is nothing organized yet to make this official. I suggest you to speak personally with a girl called Korra. She called to my attention the need of a mentor in this field the other day.

[ Arturia's teaching methods are questionable. ]

[soldieronwards]

Korra? I've talked to her. She's all right.

( amber )

[knight_king]

Yes, she seems to be sensible and resourceful.

[soldieronwards]

Uh-huh.

I mean, it's a good sign we've got people like that here in the tree.

( amber )

[knight_king]

What about you? Are you this same type of sensible and resourceful person, Bucky?

( amber )

[soldieronwards]

[ That gets a short laugh out of him. ]

I try. I mean, I'll work with what we've got.

( amber )

[knight_king]

We will appreciate anything you could do.

( amber )

[soldieronwards]

Then I'll...teach.

[ A little quiet: ]

Haven't done that in a while, but it's for a good cause here.

( amber )

[knight_king]

It is for a noble purpose. You have our gratitude for your assistance, Bucky.

[soldieronwards]

[ He laughs a little. ]

You don't have to talk so fancy to me, you know.

( amber )

[knight_king]

I am afraid that I do not understand. [ how else should she speak? ]
