[If something seems different about Quinn today, there is. She has a little patch on the side of her shorts, a little pink heart...and she sewed it on all by herself! It actually looks good, mainly because she had a lot of help, and she only stuck herself with the needle once! Hard work actually feels good, who would've figured.

She's walking around town, kinda showing off, with a major skip in her step. If she catches sight of you, prepare to be chatted up. Or, if you're a hot guy, flirted with. And feel free to chat up or flirt with her if you wish!]

[Oh! It's Quinn. It's been so long since the time of the Valentines, so Lee freezes up for a moment as he notices her in the plaza.]

Ah... H- Hello, Quinn-san.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Lee? [kinda half-runs, half-skips over to him] Nice to see you again! It's been so long!

[niceguypose]

[He smiles at her greeting and bashfully scampers towards her.]

It has been a long time, hasn't it? I apologize!

[cuteisawayoflife]

Well, it's not all your fault! I've been busy myself. [smiles, twirling around a little] How have you been?

[niceguypose]

Me? Ah... I have been well! I have been training hard, and I fought for the Malnosso!

[cuteisawayoflife]

You did?! Boy, I've heard that can be dangerous...you weren't hurt, I hope!

[niceguypose]

Ah, it was dangerous, and I was hurt, but I have recovered! And now, I am stronger than I was beforehand. [He says this all in a very chipper manner. Maybe this will placate her fears?]

[cuteisawayoflife]

[It does, but Quinn still hopes no one else she likes ever gets sent out on those things!] Good. I mean, that you're stronger now, not that you were hurt! So what were you fighting, anyway?

[niceguypose]

The Third Party a-and their assorted forces! They are truly fearsome...

[cuteisawayoflife]

...third party. Wait, is this that Malnosso thing? I've talked about it with my sister a few times...

[niceguypose]

Ah... They are the enemies of the Malnosso! Whom the Malnosso want us to defeat...

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh...oh, I see now. Wait, this is an actual war?! Like in the history books?!

[niceguypose]

[He nods.]

That is correct! It is like many wars that have been fought throughout history. You have never heard of this war in the past? [Now he wonders what she'll think of the fact that he's in the middle of fighting a war back home.]

Just roaming around town

[It had been a grueling time this past week. He had done a lot of soul searching and physical training. The draft had aggravated old wounds, mostly emotional ones, and he needed the time away from people to focus on himself.

Iroh is sporting a Hawaiian shirt and some white pants that he had found after the draft, they suited him well enough. It was a good day for a walk, and doing things you enjoyed was important]

[cuteisawayoflife]

[And when Quinn sees that outfit, she can't help but roll her eyes. Old people might not have the best fashion sense by default, but Hawaiian shirts are so tacky! Though it's not as loud as most of its kind...barely.]

Good day, sir! Um...that's an interesting look. Have you ever considered something different? Just asking! [She can't bring herself to be rude to old people. They can't help it.]

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh rolls with the tacky like a stone down a hill]

Oh certainly, normally I am more of a robe person myself, traditional in my culture, but I quite enjoyed the floral pattern. I have always enjoyed the beauty of flowers, especially in the spring.

[cuteisawayoflife]

[She's about to gasp in horror at the idea if people going around in their bathrobes, but when he says "culture" she knows what he means.] Ohhh, you mean ceremonial robes. I guess it'd be too hot to wear those now. [Oh, those are flowers upon a closer look.]

[tea_lover64]

Ah, well sort of. Not all of them need to be. I have worn ceremonial robes on a few occasions though.

[cuteisawayoflife]

So your culture always wears robes? Even in summertime? [That's not only a fashion risk, but she can only imagine how uncomfortably hot that is!]

[tea_lover64]

Not all wear robes all the time. It depends on what sort of work you do, and the weather of course. Just because a garment covers a great deal, does not mean it can not be comfortable, and allow a nice breeze.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh, like the long dresses models wear in their summer photos? Or that silk robe I want but my mom says I'm too young to buy?

[tea_lover64]

Something along those lines, yes.

[cuteisawayoflife]

I thought so! I've been trying to learn more about other cultures' fashion and some of it's really weird. Like those people who get a million piercings! Doesn't that hurt?!

[tea_lover64]

Uh, I would assume it would hurt for moment and then would no longer hurt.

[He hasn't pierced anything so, not really the best source]

[cuteisawayoflife]

I mean places like the bridge of their nose, their eyelids, their lips! [shudders and turns pale] It only hurt a little when I had my ears done, but earlobes don't have as many nerves in them!
