ᴙ 08 [Action]

[teenwonder]

[There's no reason to celebrate birthdays in a place like Luceti. It's just another indicator that something's gone terribly wrong and there's reason to mark another year older that may or may not count if the legends are true and ages revert once people return home. If this is all a virtual reality simulation, then birthdays matter less. The passage of time can't be trusted any more than anything else can. So even though Robin's having a birthday today, he has no intention of acknowledging it.

He'll follow his standard routine instead: After waking up at sunset, he'll prop open the journal and let it play through the audio messages posted through the day while he showers, followed by a review of his other surveillance equipment. He'll take another glance over the responses to that unsettling Joker transmission from yesterday, hoping there'll be an extra clue or bit of evidence that will lead them closer to finding him. Barring any leads or suspicious activities, he'll shadow that Artemis girl for a while, mostly because she seems entirely okay and that's reason enough to suspect her.

Is your character a nocturnal sort? He or she might encounter a Robin on a rooftop. Or perhaps elsewhere. He might not be available to those seeking him, but that won't stop him from finding others. What kind of nighttime activity is occupying Luceti tonight? Loitering around the fountain? Clandestine nighttime transactions? The odd damsel in need of a late-night escort? Robin's hoping to find at least some action tonight.]

[This damsel isn't really in need of an escort. But she was right there, out in the open by the river. Bundled up, sure, but this was the only time Katara had to herself recently. What else would she do with it other than practice?]

[teenwonder]

[Katara's been through a lot lately. Robin's kept tabs on her status, but it hasn't really been the kind of sequence he's felt comfortable intruding. What Katara's needed most recently has been a sense of family and stability. Robin's not been able to offer either.

Even now, he doesn't want to encroach on her katas. He'll just settle into the space beside her and join in. It's a way of spending time together without breaking into her personal bubble. Sharing a little Tai Chi couldn't hurt.]

[Katara glanced over her shoulder at Robin's sudden appearance, then smiled at him. She continued with the form, starting to go a little slower so that he would be certain to be able to follow along. Though he didn't have the ability to waterbend, he was doing very well!]

[Oh, good. A little more instruction wouldn't be unwelcome in a situation like this. Robin examines Katara's movements and lets them flow into his own form, letting the motion relax his posture.

He's still too stiff to accurately match Katara's grace and ease, though. She moves like personified liquid. It's as interesting to watch as it is challenging to repeat.]
