Akemi had just got out of the showers when Toshinori-san called. Busy drying her hair, the girl turned on the speaker and booted up the TV.

"Ah, Young Akemi, I'm glad you answered the call." Akemi crowed, is it just her or is the big guy stuttering? "Em, so... how's your training going...?"

"Good, I guess." She replied, "Endeavor is a... surprisingly good teacher, at least in terms of practical skills. And I can now use over seven skills in the same time, plus I got a better grasp over the energy gradient." She paused, "Now can you just get to the point you're trying to avoid?"

"O-oh! I'm not avoiding anything! I'm merely calling because I'm concerned about your training, Young Akemi, Truely!"

"Sure." Her voice was flat, as she flipped through the channels to find CN. "Com'on, Avatar's gonna be on in fifteen minutes and I'm not missing another Zuko episode." It's the tenth time relating the episode but who cares?

"Wha...?"

"It's a fan girl thing ignore it."

"O... kay." Akemi smiled slightly when the tension in his voice faded a little and turned into some sort of awkward confusion. Well if he don't want to talk about it yet she'll just ease into it.

Well if he's calling her then it's probably about Izu. "How's Izu's training going?"

Toshinori-san groaned a little. "He tried to punch his instructor."

"I see."

"He tried to punch him in the kidneys."

"Oh shit." And yes the Hamilton reference was on purpose. (If you don't get it go listen to 'the story of tonight reprise')

"Your sparring sections really got through to him, didn't they?" Toshinori-san sighed, "Really Akemi, next he's going to be sprouting memes reference and spamming people with Smudge."

"I'm so proud of him." Akemi tried to supressed a laugh, and Zuko being a dorky awkward Turtleduck on screen did not help. "Well? What did his instructor do then?" She kicked her legs up sitting like a queen on the armchair, head hanging halfway off.

"I don't want to know."

"Seconded." Akemi shrugged then on screen Zuko did the 'Hey, Zuko here' thing again and she dragged a hand down her face muttering under her breath. "God damnit quit being such an adorable dork you..." it faded into a grumble.

"Who?"

"That adorable turtleduck."

"...Okay?"

"You really should start watching cartoons."

"Huh?"

"We can't communicate." Akemi shrugged, "You need to learn the language of the fan girls."

Okay Okay. I get it, I'm late. Two days late. Binge watching Avatar and Voltron with the side dish of building a new Minecraft house underground does that to people. *rubs dark circles* Sorry...

The coming few chapters are going to go back to that more light hearted joking tone like when I first started this series because things are going to get dark and depressing fast and I want to keep being funny for a while... Onto the comments!

To darkpaladin89: Yep, I'm pretty sure Gran Torino's gonna skin him for bringing another kid into such a big serious matter. *Sighs*
