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...

It calls on magic, yes. That's a reason why not everyone can learn to duel like this. But it's something more akin to... say, starting a campfire. You're still "calling on" fire, but the fire is just energy of a sort, isn't it?
helpusduelist: (I'm always smiling down at thee)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-02 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! Monsters are monsters, but the effects of spells and traps are simply directed energy. There's no need to ask permission because there's no sentience or feelings, but they are still important, so they should be treated as such regardless.
helpusduelist: (To keep peace over the land)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it? Why is that so?

[His answer is honestly curious.]

Everything has to obey the laws it's bound with. It just so happens that different things are bound with different laws. Is magic seen as some "whatever you please" wish in this time?
helpusduelist: (Fighting for you and maybe)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...Amusing, since it's the exact opposite. Children with magic would be terrifying, for if they didn't hurt themselves, they'd hurt everyone around them. It's a rare talent and a firm mind that can control it; far from a plaything for young ones.

[He probably sounds like an old man, but really.]
helpusduelist: (Just to watch them all bow down)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a laugh.]

While those stories certainly aren't bad, on occasion, to glorify all magic like that is dangerous. I suppose I should be thankful it's died out, in that case.
helpusduelist: (So your smile always stands)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, I suppose so.

[He doesn't really have much of an opinion on the rarity, but he does reach over to comfortingly pat Ryou's hand with a smile.]

Perhaps I should see if I can remember any little tales or stories from my childhood.

[Good. His smile widens some and he sits back, still watching the organization.]

I'll see what I can find, or see if Jack knows any. There might be some books with them too.
helpusduelist: (So your smile always stands)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll clear those definitely nots out of the way still, particularly for that avoiding thing.]

I'm happy to share it. It's a bit... comforting to be able to talk about home like this.
helpusduelist: (Don't you falter this time)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Understandable. But I'm glad you find it interesting regardless.

[Hm?]

I remember some of it... why?
helpusduelist: (They're falling one by one around me)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-03 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Ryou... Henry gently reaches over, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder comfortingly.]

I'm glad. Perhaps, if I can fill your mind with more of those stories, there won't ever be room.

I'll find everything I can for it. At worst, I can ask Dharc or Lyna to try to stay by your side as you sleep. I don't know if it would help... but seeing as I can't be the one to do so, it would be something, I think.
