[He's taken the time to write the same information he's saying in a message beneath the video. He's sitting at the Welcome Center front desk, little rocks painted like various people from Luceti (even some faces who are now long gone) lined up on the edge of the desk in front of him.]

Hello, Luceti~ It seems that the New Feather season is upon us again, so I would like to inform new people that they can find temporary accommodations, food, and information on Luceti at the Welcome Center located on the town plaza. We even have this lovely calendar here-- [He turns the camera around to show the large calendar on the Welcome Center wall, holding it there for a moment before putting the journal back.] --for people who would like to advertise and plan events to be held around the town.

For those who find themselves in the woods, don't worry! There are stone structures dotted throughout the forest with maps, provisions, and instructions on how to reach the village and the Center itself.

We all know how hard it is to adjust to such new, strange surroundings, so please don't hesitate to ask for help. That's what we're here for.

Oh, also, on that note, if there is anyone who would like to volunteer their time at the Center, please let me know. I know Aang-kun and Potts-san assist where they can, but we're always looking for more people to help stock the New Feather stations or man the help desk.

Mm....I guess that's about it. Unless you can think of anything.

[His pig snorts from under the desk and Souji laughs.]

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and please keep an eye out for any newcomers, if you can. Thank you~

Sokka-kun, I realize I haven't been the most useful teacher lately. I wish you luck on your newest mission and I hope to have a new regimen in place for when you return. Be safe.

Cliff-san, Fayt-kun, if you would come to the barracks when next you can, I think it is about time I make good on an old promise.

action; barracks with fayt and souji

[etherealblast]

[Fayt had a good idea of what this was about, remembering the promise himself after a moment of thinking on the note. So of course, he grabs his sword on the way out, following Cliff to the barracks. Wouldn't do to arrive unprepared, if that was the case.

He's not expecting any sparklebombs himself, but if there were... well, he'd learned recently training could involve some pretty interesting methods.]

[ahappylie]

[No sparklebombs today, unfortunately. Instead, Souji is sitting in the barracks at the far end, a low table set up with tea and three cups.

When he sees his friends enter, he waves them forward.]

Over here~!

[aerialassault]

[Just tea? For shame! Cliff waves back as he makes his way to the simple but elegant set up.]

Yo~! 'Sup, Souji?

[etherealblast]

[He certainly hadn't been expecting tea of all things..... The barracks seemed like a pretty odd place for a drink. He offers a cheerful grin as he approaches alongside Cliff.]

Hey. Been a while.

[ahappylie]

[The two open cushions flanking two sides of the table are motioned to and Souji simply smiles up at the two men as they approach. They seemed a little surprised - not that he could blame them. Most people didn't expect tea when coming for practice and, while Souji was dressed in his usual training gi and hakama with his wooden sword beside him, he looked at ease for all intents and purposes.]

It has, hasn't it? How have you both been?

[aerialassault]

[Tea was the very last thing that Cliff expected, but there were far less structures of formality and manners in the dojo he trained in. They showed high respect for their master and eachother, but there was no ceremony to it. Such a formal show of politeness was completely counterintuitive, but he respected the fact that Souji was from another culture and another era.

Things were very different in both days.

Cliff casually picked a cushion and sat, silently trying to puzzle out exactly how to manage with such a piece of furniture.]

Been keeping busy, really. It's too hot to do much these days.

[He was just going to settle and sit cross legged. It really was the best answer when the table was that small.]

[etherealblast]

[Fayt settles into the other cushion much the same as Cliff does, cross legged. This kind of furniture setup was too old for Fayt to know much, if anything about, even if he was from Earth.

History had never been his best subject, though he knew plenty enough to get by. And hey, if they did this sort of thing before training where Souji was from, it obviously served some sort of purpose.]

That heat wave was pretty bad. Sticking indoors more seemed like the better option.

[ahappylie]

This is one of the times I'm glad most of my day is spent at night.

[He laughs a little and pours out the tea - it's been prepared specially so it is cold - for Cliff and Fayt.]

I hope the table isn't too uncomfortable for you. Even after all this time, I'm still not used to a Western size.

[aerialassault]

[Souji would doubtless have Cliff's eternal love and gratitude for his understanding of the fact that Cliff hated this kind of weather. Years spent in climate controlled areas had an effect on things.

He took his glass with an appreciative nod. Ice and caffeine made a wonderful combination.]

Thanks.

The table ain't too bad. These cushions are way more comfortable than most chairs for this kinda set up.

Sorry for the fail on my part. I'll pick up pace.

[etherealblast]

[Fayt picks up his glass as well, pleased with the consideration. Iced drinks really did hit the spot, these days. After Cliff finishes talking and Fayt finishes taking a drink, he nods.]

This is good.

So you do you usually have tea here, or is there some special reason? [That was alright to ask, right?]
