Wang Fire - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[Today is a special day. The plaza, though still with a good amount of snow on the ground, is one of those places in the village where enough shoveling and foot traffic has removed most of the snow. Therefor somebody who was absolutely not Sokka saw an opportunity. By noon, a small one-person booth had been set up in front of the fountain. A sign above it reads "FREE ADVICE".

Sitting at the booth is a particularly distinguished looking Fire Nation man twirling his manly mustache and stroking a very refined beard. He certainly seems to know what he's talking about and he's casually greeting people as they go by in that deep, almost booming voice of his. Having stress? Don't know how to deal with your feelings? In love with someone but they don't know it?

Wang Fire is your man and his Free Advice Booth is open.]

[This is at some point in time AFTER Rydia returns, but I need to throw this in just because. Kain has been drinking, and drinking A LOT. Since he doesn't usually drink much it gets to him, and he's doing that unbalanced shuffling thing. Right up to the booth with the advice.]

[And this is the one and only state wherein he ever WOULD be after some advice, so he takes a long time to write out a question, and then slaps the paper down in front of the man. It reads...]

How do you know if you're in love?

[Wang Fire takes awhile to consider the question. It's a very good one. He takes the paper and writes his own answer after a little thought.]

When you have to ask about it.

[Takes a few moments to get the next question out.]

So what can I do about it?

[markofthewise]

Naturally you just tell her about it. Just walk up to her and... hand her a note that says.

[And he speaks up for the part.] Baby! You're my forever girl.

[He makes a skeptical Look at that. It sounds like something EDGE would say...]

What if I'm not ready to tell her?

[markofthewise]

Well that's different. Who is she?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

A... friend. I suppose I am... I'm afraid to say anything.

[markofthewise]

It just so happens, young man, that I know a thing or two about women. If you can't say it to her... or write it, as the case may be, then show it!

I lost my voice some time ago, he offers by way of some explanation, and then adds, But show it how?

[markofthewise]

By doing nice things, naturally. Flowers, chocolates, canned beverages, what have you. Find what she lives and then shower he in it! But not literally, because that might get a little messy.

[Gives this a lot of Deep Thought, it takes a few moments since he's not thinking totally clearly. Considering he's never had the chance to try before... maybe... this idea is worth considering...]

All right.

[Pause]

What if she's not- if she doesn't feel the same? Even after doing that?

[markofthewise]

Sometimes you just have to wait, my boy.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I can do that... I think.

[markofthewise]

That's the spirit! You've got what it takes, my boy. Get out there and show some loving!!

[Hesitantly nods, though he's still not so sure of himself, ANYTHING sounds like an amazing idea right at this moment.]

[markofthewise]

Let me know how it goes. I'll be rooting for you, of course.

[Nods, mouths a thanks and is stumbling along on his way.]
