the_campus | Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences

[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.

Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.

Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.

...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]

Ow...

[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]

Ah, I'm so tired...

...

You know, most people would be freaked out by that.

Freaked out by what? That he changed people up for a duel? Sounds like fun!

He turned people into cards for a duel.

...Ahaha! That's a pretty funny joke, Ryou!

[Sigh. Judai really doesn't get it... Please don't die, Judai. He likes you.]

Did you want more desserts?

[Unfortunately, Judai isn't from a very magical background. Something like that... it really just sounds like a joke to him. He's almost more innocent than you, Ryou!

As it is, he nods, grinning widely.]

You bet!

[brb rooting in the fridge for the ones that actually need to be cared for, and setting them out. It's practically a small feast of sugar.]

So did you enjoy your hour-long chat?

Yeah! Wasn't as fun as talking with you, but I got to learn a lot about Duelist Kingdom and Battle City! It was pretty cool!

...eh? Me? But I don't have even half of those kinds of stories.

Nah, but you're just more fun to talk to. You can get happy and excited, and you look like you're having fun just from that. He's always too serious. It's not really as fun talking about anything with him.

...

Uhm.

You know he can hear you, right?

...Well, it's true.

If you get him angry enough, he won't come out and talk to you ever again.

[GET HIM ANGRY, JUDAI.]

Oh. Uh... sorry about that.

[SORRY RYOU he only ever makes people angry accidentally by being a sugar-and-crack-fed-squirrel.]

It doesn't bother me. But even if it wasn't as fun, you still enjoyed it, right? Maybe he could be a happy person if more people were willing to talk and duel with him.

[Why is he trying to help the spirit be less grumpy? No one knows.]

...yeah, you're right, Ryou! I'll go ahead and be one of those to help out!

[Maybe if the Spirit is less grumpy, he'd wake up with less wounds?]

Un! Thank you. You're really nice, Judai-kun!

[That's definitely something hopeful!]

Heheheh! I just am who I am!

And who you are is wonderful.

...Eh? Well, thanks!

[That's certainly a new one. He's never really had that kind of praise before, at least not outright! Sure, Shou's called him amazing, but...]

Sorry. It's unusual to find someone so happy around, you know?

Not really. I've always kinda been like this. Is it that weird?

Being happy so much isn't bad. I wish more people were like that, to be honest. But it's a rare talent.

Heh, well... I guess I'd better keep it up if it's rare!

Yeah! You're like a beacon of hope that inspires happiness, Judai-kun!
