Kale nodded, "How old are you anyway, like mid 20s?"

"23," Blaze replied.

Kale nodded again, "You had an interesting 22 years before meeting him, I presume." and he took another bite of sugar.

"... I wouldn't call it interesting," Blaze replied, not really looking like she wanted to talk about it.

Kale watched her for a moment before shrugging and moving on to a lighter topic. Eventually Kale said his goodbye, wanting to catch a catnap before he had to go scout. "I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe you'll stop tiptoeing by then." he mused with a smile before heading out.

After a few hours, James woke and slowly sat up, looking around.

Blaze didn't say anything like usual as she went on her way.

Yue was down at the shore. It looked like she was skipping rocks, and she wasn't half bad at it.

James watched her for awhile before walking down to her, "Not bad, considering you're drunk." he mused with a smirk.

Yue didn't say anything as she tossed another rock that skipped four times. Her tablet was sitting on a rock far enough away from the shore so it wouldn't get wet.

James noticed the tablet but said nothing about it, "Where'd you learn?" he asked as he picked up a rock of his own.

Yue was silent for a long moment as she prepared another rock. "... My brother taught me," she replied quietly before tossing it. Two skips.

James threw one and it landed with a loud splat. No skips. He sighed, "Hey... what's your secret?" he complained.

"... I'm the daughter of a very influential member of the Yin Long," Yue muttered. Yep, she was pretty drunk. But she still managed to get three skips on her next toss.

"And the Yin Long are very good at skipping rocks?" James replied.

"Some of them," Yue replied as she tried to find more rocks.

Suddenly James seemed to understand what was going on and he grinned before coughing and hiding his amusement. "What do you like the best, Yue... besides skipping rocks?" he asked as he threw another rock with a ker-splat.

"I don't like anything," Yue spat back.
