[ It's a particular spread of fungi that Ryoko happens to be staring down and with a thoroughly unimpressed, if somewhat exasperated expression fixed upon her face despite the village presently at her back. This is her, what, second time today attempting to enter Khalo? No, it's her third and her singular success for various issues experienced along the way the chief of which is the fyrra, of course. The second time she'd really needed the nap, but she would've liked to have had it in the village proper after a proper meal and bath for all the trouble of traveling so -- well, it isn't actually that far, but it can seem like it when she's forcefully retaining the fyrra in her system and today is no exception.

It's with a puff of a sigh that she turns and drops from the air to fly just above the ground in entering the village proper. No sooner than she crosses that threshold does she exhale and cease her willful retention. It's a little jarring, but not nearly as much as the sudden weaving requirement to avoid bowling into what looks to be a small family of Khali and the abrupt, near skid she makes in halting to avoid snowballing into another traveler altogether. ]

Geez! Doesn't anyone know how to walk around here? [ Asks the flying woman. This day. ]

Edited 2018-06-11 03:52 (UTC)

We know how to walk. We just don't know how to avoid flying people.

[It's said with a good bit of snark from the dark-haired woman nearly rolled over. For the most part Mai had been reticent about doing much of anything beyond her jobs, a bitter taste in her mouth still from the Nathas quick departures. Now that she's finally ventured to catch a glance of the much talked of Khalo Village, naturally she gets bowled over.]

[ And that snark is promptly returned as Ryoko rubs her head and straightens herself out. ]

What, you need lessons? It's the same as avoiding a person walking. I --

[ Am currently turning her eyes on the offended party only to pause and squint. She sure looks familiar, not that that's going to stop her from an additional quip. ]

You do know how to do that, right? [ Now, where does she know this person from...? ]

Sure. And the person I'm avoiding when I'm walking usually does it at a slower pace. Or at the very least doesn't just appear out of the sky.

[If the sass and snark bothers her, she sure isn't showing it. Everything going on has her huffy and it wouldn't much matter if Ryouko was her nearest and dearest friend. She'd snarked at Ty Lee plenty of times after all.

Mai sighs, running a hand over her face before she just sort of waves dismissively to the other woman.]

Whatever.

[ She... actually wasn't expecting the concession as used as she is to her back and forth with Ayeka. Ryoko blinks for a moment after that whatever, dusting herself off, only to pause for questionably timed recognition. ]

Ah!

[ She may or may not be pointing. Actually, she's clapping and pretty pleased with herself for recalling her. ]

You're the girl from that time when people's personal memory theaters were happening! [ Right? ]

[... Oh. Mai points back, connecting dots when she's reminded of the whole weird memory thing.]

You had the memory about the useless guy.

The useless guy?

[ Ryoko actually takes a moment to rub at her chin before she recalls -- ]

Oh, you mean Tenchi!

[ There is no correcting being done here. Nada. ]

Yeah, I guess so. Imagine meeting you here, though! Is this your first time to Khalo?

Yeah. I figured it was about time I came to take a look at it. Before they wouldn't let you get near the Village so I wasn't about to chance it.

[I.E. she let others come here first to see if they just got skewered or what the heck was going on.]

The cautious type, are we? Well, you're in for a treat. Afew, really, depending on what you're into. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend the public bath and the library.

[ A beat. ]

Come to think of it, what are you into? I'm going to assume useless guys are out.

You could say that.

[At one point she wouldn't have been so cautious but after the kidnappings? No thanks. She snorts a little though and shrugs a shoulder.]

Actually I'm apparently kind of into semi-useless guys.

[She gets to be mean to Zuko and Kei Lo both because neither are here to refute it, right?]

Anything good in the library? ... I guess I ought to ask if you've been there first actually.

Really? I wouldn't have guessed it.

[ She chuckles, wondering for a moment. That question draws her right out of it, though. ]

As a matter of fact, I have! It's a pretty interesting place. The quills there record stories and the like from those who enter, so I guess you could say it's equal parts a history lesson, equal parts entertainment depending on what you're reading. Sometimes more the latter than that first thing, though. It's my first stop for sure!

[Her brows rise right up.]

What, you tell the quills stories?

[As in the writing instruments?]

Mmmm. It's more like they pick your brain! Couldn't tell you how they do it, though.

[ Not that she hasn't given it a few seconds thought, she could probably come up with some pretty accurate guesses if she really wanted to, but she's more concerned with the entertainment factor generally. ]

[ With her feet on the ground and her face pressed to the glass, Ryoko peers from one side and through into Reign's Redolence with narrowed, discerning eyes. She isn't hiding, not at all, and her position isn't out of concern for any would-be patrons window shopping. It... isn't for muh of anyone besides Reign, actually, and it's for him that she's looking and rather intently, her tail waving behind her curiously. There do seem to be a few customers, but -- ah! There he is and she brightens, moving forward only to bump her head clean into the glass and wilt like a flower onto the pavement.

She's never going to get used to these damned -- ugh, she doesn't know what to call them! Damnable for sure, though, but that's less and less here as she floats up and moves for the door. No sooner than she opens it does she clap her hands together and, in a sing song voice, exclaim: ]

Oh, Reeeeeeign! [ Guess who's here to ~~loiter~~ see him? ]

[ It's with another loud pfffffffhaha that Ryoko turns the page of the book she's picked up and without so much as an inkling of restraint attempted despite present surroundings. The Enchanted Library in Khalo is as busy as ever and as relatively noise free as one might imagine it to be... while Ryoko is there, that is, and with company this time around. Familiar company. ]

Hey, Axel! Look!

[ Flying downward whilst maintaining her very much upside-down position, she comes to a halt in front of and above her companion, turning the book right-side up to him and effectively moving to thrust it into his face so that he, too, can appreciate the hilarity that is... well, it's something. ]
