Wellspring Arms, Tuesday

Today Temari had an atlas to study.

And was boggling a bit over just how large this world turned out to be. There was no wonder why they needed cars and the like if everything was this far apart. Still didn't make it any less strange, of course.

"Busy, brat?"

Ender imitated Temari's particular mode of speech easily. It still reminded him a little of Petra. He leaned across the desk-- ah, geography.
endsthegame: (is looking up)

"Not really," he said, "You sound just like an old friend of mine."
endsthegame: (is giving you the sideways look)

"Petra Arkanian." The name still brought back memories, and he glanced over to a case full of guns. "She was the best shot in any army."
endsthegame: (has a voice)

"No," Ender replied, "She also had a foul mouth on her." A swaggering way of speaking that really reminded him of Temari, somehow.
endsthegame: (ender is in charge)

"I'm fine," he said. Steady and normal, and he'd blame Karal for it in a heartbeat. "You're studying?"
endsthegame: (might be mocking you)

"Looks like you're making a good start on it, though," he said, stepping back from the desk. "Brat." The word still amused him.
endsthegame: (considering you)

"Now that would be novel."

"Wiggin, actually," Ender said, leaning against the desk again. "'Wiggins' makes me sound like a toy."

"I'm taller than some," he said, raising an eyebrow at her, "You should've met Bean, the pinprick." The brilliant pinprick.
endsthegame: (is leaning)

"He was the smallest and the youngest. Pinprick was the word."
endsthegame: (and bean)

"Couldn't have been more than seven at the time. Maybe eight."

That could mean a great deal of things. But in this one, it was a direct, simple thing. Something he could easily guess, and ask about with even more ease. "How old were you?"
endsthegame: (in the light)

"You're going to have to explain what a genin is," he said, carefully, searching her expression.
endsthegame: (is coming up)

"I know a few things about academies," Ender replied. Or Battle Schools, he didn't say. "Training missions? Games?"
endsthegame: (is assessing the situation)

"And a chuunin is, what--? A commander?" They were funny names for things that weren't funny at all, and his mind stretched a little to find all the connections.
endsthegame: (that's my name)

"Your world must have strange ideas about what 'spectacular' means." He hadn't seen Temari in action, but he'd seen the way she walked, and that, on its own, already told him a great deal.

"Including modesty."

"Or people who just want to get the job done," he said, smiling slightly.
endsthegame: (looking askance)

"You can tell my rank, if you want to," he said, shrugging, "It doesn't mean anything."
endsthegame: (is only mildly suspicious)

"So not modesty," he replied, "Evenness. Not caring about getting the credit."
endsthegame: (musing)

"Not if it lasts past that."
